For Students With Other Disabilities
From Cross the Hurdles
Problems Faced
- There can be problem with articulation or voice strength to complete voicelessness. #Difficulties in projection
- Fluency problems, as in stuttering and stammering
Accommodations Required
- Give students the opportunity, but do not compel them to speak in class.
- Permit students the time they require to express themselves, without unsolicited aid in filling in gaps in their speech.
- Don’t be reluctant to ask the student to repeat a statement.
- Address students naturally.
- Don’t assume the “spread phenomenon”—that they cannot hear or comprehend.
