Lesson 5 Accommodations: Hearing

Provide a sign language interpreter, real-time captioning, and/or an FM system.

Face students with hearing impairments so that they can see your lips. Speak clearly. Repeat questions or comments from others.

Allow flexible seating to provide a clear view of a sign language interpreter, lip reading, visual aids, and demonstrations.

Lesson 5 Accommodations: Learning Disabilities

A computer with voice output software is an appropriate accommodation for students with learning disabilities. Consult the video presentation and publication Working Together: Computers and People with Learning Disabilities and the AccessSTEM Knowledge Base.

Consider reformatting documents to minimize clutter and/or providing materials in large-print format. Ask the student if this would be helpful.

Warm Up: Learn About Wind

Low Vision

Request and encourage student input on how to best accommodate the student's learning needs.

Consider the position, lighting, and seating needs of the student during presentations or when using text, manipulatives, transparencies or other projected images.

Provide large-print lecture notes, handouts, and worksheets.
