For example, having open spaces in the classroom would allow him to move around more freely and feel more comfortable. The teacher had also strategically placed classroom materials to be more accessible; one short part of the video showed Samuel placing a sheet in what looked like a mailbox system for the students.

Therefore, it would be helpful if course work is posted online so that students who are absent from school can have easy access to school work. It would also be helpful to have a folder in the classroom that contains missed school work. Flexible due dates for assignments can also be helpful for students who are absent from school

Teachers may also wish to give different choices for learning rather than lecturing to the entire class. For instance, students can become more involved with video demonstrations online, hands on activities that are accessible for all students, or providing more options for the projects and lessons around their points of interests, allowing for more flexibility in the learning process. chris951 https://padlet.com/julibeat/includingsamuel/wish/301634755 2018-11-07 16:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/julibeat/includingsamuel/wish/301634755 A teacher may look at an IEP to see whether the student needs to be in a separate learning environment, or additional supports from an Education Assistant. chris951 https://padlet.com/julibeat/includingsamuel/wish/301644842 2018-11-07 17:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/julibeat/includingsamuel/wish/301644842 text to speech https://padlet.com/julibeat/includingsamuel/wish/302790755 In a case where there is a requirement to write, Samuel can speak his response to questions instead of writing them down.
