  1. Create a padlet with the 14 categories of disabilities as identified by IDEA with your cohort. This will be a single submission for the whole cohort.  Add your cohort name on the top of the mind map.
  2. For each category, research and include assistive technologies and other accommodations that can be used for struggling students. Link or add images, videos, and additional relevant information to the relevant categories within the group padlet.
  3. On the padlet, be sure to sign in (create a free account if needed) so that your name will appear in each of your contributions. Make sure to add your cohort name on the padlet.

(IDEA, 2019)
High incidence: 2.7 (2nd in the IDEA rank)
Includes issues with:
  • Articulation (atypical production or omission of sounds)
  • Voice (atypical voice quality, pitch, loudness, resonance, disruption in vocal cord function)
  • Fluency (interruptions in the flow of speech, atypical rate or rhythm of sounds, syllables, words, phrases)
  • Language (impaired comprehension or use of spoken language which affects written language and other symbolic forms of communication).
General Strategies:
  • Seating plan that allows proximity to teacher
  • Reducing background noise as far as possible
  • Careful chunking and scaffolding of content 
  • Sequential or tiered approach to activities
  • Using multisensory enhancing cues for instruction and feedback (visual, tactile, manipulatives)
  • Multimodal assessment
  • Flexible grouping in differentiated learning stations w/ or w/o peer buddies
  • Recycling vocabulary often
  • Allowing extra time
