lesson plans for special needs students who are auditory impaired with cerebral palsy.?

Answer 1

Some great resources for special needs lesson plans are:
The Out of Sync Child Has Fun by Carol Stock Kranowitz and The Inclusive Early Childhood Classroom by Patti Gould. Children with cerebral palsy tend to have either hypertone (rigid) or low tone (floppy) muscles. Knowing the type of cp your student has can really make a difference in the types of curriculum and adaptive equipment you will need to have. If you have these special needs children in a class with "typically developing" children, you really don't need to change the entire curriculum. You just need to adapt the ways that you use the curriculum. For example, you are working on getting your children to not use a fisted grasp on their crayons... for the child with cp, you can adapt your crayons with a ball of playdough around it so they can hold onto it easily. The second book I mentioned has really great, creative ways to easily adapt the items you already have in your class for children with all types of special needs. It is also sectioned for different types of disabilities, so it can be really helpful. Children who are auditorily impaired can benefit from having their other senses played up. Build upon your children's strengths. This is true whether your children are "typical" or "special needs". You just have to think out of the box and make a lot of adaptations yourself. Hope this helps, and good luck!
