·      I included this resource because it gives modifications that have worked from experiences for children with EBDs. As a teacher, using some of these modifications in a future classroom may be helpful to try.

·      I would use this video in the classroom to show students what some of their peers might have and what they go through. I think it would be a good opportunity to teach the importance of being kind to others, as you do not know what others are going through. I would make sure the students know that the video occasionally does not use the proper person-first language that we would use today.

·      This would be a blog that you could share with parents and families of students with autism. It would help as a resource that they might be able to relate to as well as provide strategies on working with them if they are struggling. 

·      This resource is great for educators who may have a blind or visually impaired student in the classroom. Once you copy and paste text into the box and get the Braille visual, you can print out the mirror image to be able to punch out Braille dots for your students. Any article that students may read in class can now be accessible for blind or visually impaired students as well.

This source provides these questions as well as an action plan for making safety procedures for students with disabilities.

·      This is included in my online resource collection because it a quick reference to access when students are struggling. Although teachers cannot diagnose students, they may be able to find resources based off of names of disabilities for students having similar issues to those disabilities. For students that are diagnosed, they will be able to use tips from the website to be able to support their students.

·      This is a cool resource that allows students to see what it is like to have a vision-impairment. Students can plug in any address, such as their home, favorite park, or school, and view it from another perspective. It is a different way to teach empathy and acceptance.

·      I included this article as a reminder for advocacy for inclusion. Many students with special needs are more than able to be a part of the general education classroom. They key is being able to have them work in a setting that outlines their strengths. As a future general education teacher, this article serves as a reminder for including all students in  my future classroom and teaching to all of their abilities.

·      Sensory paths are a great way for students to take a physical or brain break from schoolwork. Physical or brain breaks can be beneficial for students with and without disabilities. They provide a quiet area for a student to take out their energy and focus on something other than schoolwork in a healthy, controlled way.

·      I chose this resource because it can give the parents the opportunity to connect with another person who has gone through a similar situation that they have. It can provide emotional support and a resource for them to go to for advice on someone who has experienced the same types of things with their children or families in regards to students with disabilities.

·      This site is included because sometimes, thinking outside the box can be difficult. It gives a range of science lessons that are great for students who are visually impaired because the activities don’t include things that need to be seen. They have everything from “Sounds of Biomes” to creating tactile pieces of the moon phases. Many of these lessons are sure to interest any student.

·      I included this resource as a reminder to refer back to for supporting students with different needs. If a student is struggling in class, this list is a quick resource for things you can try differently in the classroom or with the student who needs extra support.

·      This site is helpful for educators as it is a quick reminder of what RTI consists of. If there is ever any confusion or need for a reminder, it is a quick and easy lookup with this link.

·      This resource is great for communicating with students who may be hard of hearing or deaf. If they use sign language and you need to communicate with them without knowing how to make a sign, this website shows you how! It even shows differences between words that may be similar and teaches you when to use certain practices, such as fingerspelling.

·      This resource would be extremely helpful to encourage students who struggle with reading. It sells books that are at their level, as well as has a free downloadable book and workbook. Some of their books are also available in an easier-to-read font, to make looking at words easier. 

·      This talk explains what living with ADHD was like from one woman’s experience. I included it because it gives insight as to what ADHD is like from the perspective of someone who has it. It also lets others know that they are not alone in their journey with going through ADHD.

·      This TED talk does a great job at demonstrating the importance of a concept similar to UDL, design thinking. Elise says that we should first design for disability, then include those without disability. This way, the final product works for everyone. I included this TED talk because I like the firsthand perspective of the importance of design thinking/UDL.

·      These templates are a great way to check your progress for ensuring you have your UDL bases covered! The checklist is my favorite because it shows everything you need to make sure your lessons are accessible for all students.
