I think, first of all, being aware of the child's disability is important, as well as being aware of the child's abilities. From there, you can work around what he or she not able to do by finding AT devices or using other techniques that allows as much participation as possible with peers.

Disability awareness is the first step, then getting to know the child and his/her parents/guardians, then fitting the curriculum into what he or she can do. It is important to know what the disability is and how it affects everyone.

I feel that in many cases teachers need to focus more on what the disabled student CAN do as opposed to what said student CANNOT do. If the teacher is more concerned about what the student can't do, then it can draw attention to the disability, which the student may not appreciate.

Differentiate/accommodate each of your lessons plans to that students needs. Focus on what the student can do.

I feel we first have to be aware and knowledgeable about the children's disabilities. That will help in planning the activities and lessons for the year. knowing how they learn best just like all the other children.

The most important part is knowing each child and what disability that they specifically have. Then you can help each one feel like they are part of the whole class. By making their activity fit their disability so that they are doing the same activity but maybe just tweaked a little bit so that they can be successful too.

Getting to know the child and their disability is the first step. You must figure out what they can do and how they can participate with the rest of the class. You also have to get in touch and keep with touch with the parents or guardians.

As a teacher, I need to know my students in order to make the appropriate modifications for their lessons. I can work individually with them to learn their strengths and weaknesses. I can also accommodate them by giving them AT.

To get students with disabilities to participate in classroom lessons and activities I would want to get to know the student and get to know his or her interests. From there I would try to incorporate the child's interest into the lesson to try and keep their attention and participation as high as it can.

The teacher should think about the different ways to accommodate to the children with disabilities when designing a lesson plan. The different ways include using AT devices so they can participate in activities. Also having another student push the child if he/she has a wheel chair, is a way to let the child participate in the lesson and get around.

To get all the children involved you need to understand the disability of the child. This will help you know how you can include them in the activity. It will help you in the classroom.

You can make sure that you have them in the best environment or best place in the environment to help them succeed and participate in the the lessons!

Knowing your students and what works for them would be your first step. Differentiating your lessons by including movement, partner work, more verbal activities if they struggle with writing.

You can get to know your child on a personal level. Each child is different but some may respond well to visual schedules or sensory things to help calm them.

You can help your students with disabilities in the classroom by using assistive technology and giving them any support they may need to be successful.

You need to know about the child's disability to move from there.

You can help children with disabilities by learning about their specific disabilities and finding ways to help them. Also, knowing them as an individual can help so much.

In my clinical classroom we have a child with Autism in order to help him succeed with the rest of the students we use a lot of visual cues and board makers as well.
