Classroom Accommodations
Laboratory Use
- Discuss safety concerns with the student and the CSD. Depending on her/his disability, ensure that safety equipment is adapted with Braille or large print labels, pull-chains are lengthened, and visual or auditory warning systems are in place.
- Assign group lab projects in which all students contribute according to their abilities.
- Arrange lab equipment so that it is easily accessible. Give oral and written lab instructions. Provide raised-line drawings and tactile models of graphic materials for students with visual impairments.
- Work with student and CSD, to identify, modify, and provide appropriate lab equipment, such as adjustable tables, ramps, talking thermometers and calculators, liquid level indicators, large print and tactile timers, and computers.
