https://padlet.com/morganwhalen1128/k3ea3wv4q2rbb0f7 How would you implement accommodations for students with speech-language impairments in your classroom? Have you ever personally known or taught someone with a speech impairment, if so, what did you do to accommodate them? en-us 2021-06-14 03:58:18 UTC 2025-10-01 15:18:07 UTC hello@padlet.com ogodoy4 https://padlet.com/morganwhalen1128/k3ea3wv4q2rbb0f7/wish/1614855625 Great presentation! It was easy to follow along because it flowed nicely, I enjoyed the visuals, and you all seemed knowledgeable and prepared! 

Firstly, I want to make sure my class is a comfortable environment for students to share out in ways that are best to them. This could mean utilizing text-to-speech daily or during presentations the student could create a video with captions, text-to-speech, or practice their verbal skills ahead of class time. Something that is important to me is working with other educators and members of the learning community to support my students and enrich their experiences so I would work together with a speech-language pathologist, the student, and their family to make sure that we have established goals and methods for reaching those. Of course, this is where the IEP will help us create an environment with tools to engage with the class as seamlessly as we can:)

 I actually did have a speech impairment! I went to speech therapy when I was little because I used nonverbal communication more than verbal, but I don't remember much because I was so young and now I can't stop talking. I also had a stutter in 4th grade but for the most part I would practice reading out loud on my own and it went away. My dad also has a stutter so I wanted to learn more about speech-language impairments so I can better accommodate him on our phone calls, and this will be so helpful as a future English teacher since discussion is my go to. ]]> 2021-06-18 19:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/morganwhalen1128/k3ea3wv4q2rbb0f7/wish/1614855625 nicoleciccione https://padlet.com/morganwhalen1128/k3ea3wv4q2rbb0f7/wish/1616263580 I would like to say I loved the visuals in the presentation, went perfect especially with your topic!

For me personally in my PE class, luckily the aspect of talking in front of the class or presenting a speech is not relevant. But there is the aspect of talking with partners and "calling out the ball" and times you do need to speak especially in quick times. 

How I would implement this into my gym would be having posters all around on the walls with different things students may need to answer for instance "what is my team, what is my number, how do I do this". If the student was allowed to have a text to speech tablet then of course I would want them to utilize that but if not, also ask them to decide "what would you like to do to, call the ball" and let them determine their comfort level in my classroom.]]> 2021-06-20 16:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/morganwhalen1128/k3ea3wv4q2rbb0f7/wish/1616263580
