Use colored highlighters to direct attention to key information
Make available computer speech-enhanced text and lessons
Math - Lucas knows his numbers well, worksheets and dancing videos. Have students hold up fingers for numbers instead of saying them aloud. Count different animals each day.
Language arts - Lots of reading books and tracing the letters of the Alphabet. Trace the letters with sand or shaving cream for sensory, especially for this right hand. Music while tracing the alphabet for brain stimulation
Social Studies - Visuals like maps and a globe for each student
Science - hand-eye coordination activities that doesn't require both hands. Experiments that require me in front of the class with students in front of me
Physical Education - Making sure the P.E. teacher knows to work with Lucas and his brace for his leg, making sure they don't do activities that will prevent Lucas in participating. Some examples include throwing balls,bags, etc. Playing outside.
