Everyday ACCOMMODATIONS

This is a quick list of accommodations that I employ as often as possible. These are easy to implement and often require little to no extra materials. What would you add to the list?
  1. American Sign Language - I use this when teaching new vocabulary and to provide visual input. ASL is its own language and should be treated as such, but it is also a great tool for muscle memory and providing a connection between various languages. 
  2. Visual Schedule - Routine and expectations can be made clear using a visual schedule and labels in areas of the classroom. 
  3.  Pause and Point - This is a commonly used Comprehensible Input tool. Whenever I am introducing new words, emphasising words, or repeating questions, I may pause and point to parts of the story, an image, or key words. 
  4. Preferential seating - This means so may things. It isn't always proximity to the teacher or the front of the room. For some students, it can actually be proximity to the door, a friend/helpful student, the teacher's desk, or even to specific supplies. 
  5. Large Print - It is very easy to print a story, test, or document in large print.
