If your student has a hearing disability, modify your lesson plan so that information is presented visually, instead of lecture style. Using an overhead projector is a way to provide information to the class in a way that includes the student with the disability. If the lesson plan instructs you to have the children read out loud, you can place the lesson or book under an overhead projector so that the student can read along while it is being read aloud.
If you have a student with a learning disability, such as autism, it is important for him to have individualized objectives, according to Edward Polloway, author of "Teaching Students with Special Needs in Inclusive Settings." Modify your lesson plan to include goals for each assignment for the special needs student. For examples, if the class assignment is to write a page recapping a previous history lesson, you can make an individualized objective for the student to recap five facts.
Children with a reading disability such as dyslexia are unable to read their textbooks with the same proficiency as the rest of the class. Presenting information verbally helps accommodate a dyslexic student. You can modify your lesson plan so that important points are read aloud. If the lesson plan requires the class to read a chapter silently and then discuss it, go over the chapter together as a class and read it out loud instead.
If you have a student with a mild learning disability, it helps to provide a short study guide for each lesson so that the student can process the information in smaller portions. For example, choose five key points for each lesson to provide the student ahead of time, this way the information does not seem too overwhelming. Many students with mild disabilities learn better that way, explains Anita L. Archer, author of "Explicit Instruction: Effective and Efficient Teaching."
