To accommodate students with cognitive or physical disabilities, faculty must involve strategies that are accessible throughout their day to day schedule. The classroom environment and instructors must consider changes and accommodations to increase student participation and enhance learning. When teachers and students adapt effective instructional strategies, individual and groups of students gain the tools necessary to become successful learners. Here are some strategies you can use:
Colored highlighters to direct attention to key information.
Digital timer to help pace student while working. .
Colored sticky notes to draw attention or clarify important information.
Large pencils and/or pencil grips/weighted pencils.
Adaptive equipment for posture: booster seats, arm rests, etc.
Computers with touch screen capabilities.
Provide large-print handouts of text.
