 Mild Intellectual Disability

Low Tech ideas:

When lecturing, use the whiteboard to present information in addition to speakin

g. Additionally, we can highlight important information in a written form of the co
ntent for students with intellectual disabilities. Teacher can also provide rulers and
coordinate planes to reference certain functions.

High Tech ideas:

Teacher can create YouTube videos with the content explained in a slower, more i
n depth way. The student can also be provided with a tablet with notes or key top
ics preloaded for the student’s viewing.

Supportive APPS:

MyScript Calculator: Students are able to write an expression with their own hand
writing onto the app, and the app automatically calculates

Study Island: Students are able to study math 30 minutes a week using Study Isla
nd. The website provides students with a variety of practice math problems.
UDL Strategy (Wheel): Options for Perception

Attention Difficulties
Low Tech ideas:

One low tech idea was to have students be active during the course of the class. T
his could involve giving students a whiteboard to follow along after the teacher at
their desk.

High Tech ideas:

One idea would be to let a student use a computer to play education related gam
es after finishing their work. With this, the student would not have to sit quietly wi
thout anything to do while other classmates finished their work.

Supportive APPS:

The Math Drills app could be a fun and productive way to keep students with att
ention difficulties on task during class. This app lets students practice math proble
ms in the form of games on their tablet or phone.

Options for Recruiting Interest

Physical Disabilities
Low Tech ideas:

For students who have fine motor skill difficulties, a finger grip ruler could be a g
ood choice because it allows students to more easily use and maneuver the ruler
due its unique shape.

High Tech ideas:

One high tech idea would be a speech to text program for students with writing
difficulties. This could allow students to submit answers and complete tests witho
ut having the ability to write with pencil and paper.

Supportive APPS:

Dragon Everywhere is a widely used voice to text app that not only allows a stud
ent to take notes by talking, it also adapts to your voice. Over time, the app will re
cognize your individual voice to make better notes. This could be very useful for a
nyone with trouble writing.

 English as a Second Language

Low Tech ideas:

Providing pre-written reference notes of key terms in both English and the stude
nts native language could potentially help the student keep up with math content
. We see this as a very beneficial low tech option.

High Tech ideas:

This may seem obvious, but letting students use a voice to text translation progra
m could be useful for math. For English language learners who know the math co
ntent but don’t know English, being able to answer questions or ask questions of
their own can still be arranged.

Supportive APPS:

One of the best apps for learning English is Google Translate, but not for its text t
o text translation services. It also has the ability to turn english on paper into anot
her language. Students could use this on homework or daily work if they knew th
e math content but had trouble reading the directions.
