In the classroom I am observing for my 60 observation hours, I have a

student with Retts syndrome. This syndrome impairs the students

ability to learn, move and speak. Most of the lessons that my mentor
teacher plans involve actively moving or sharing knowledge with
peers. Due to the fact that this student has Retts syndrome, most of
the lessons are differentiated. For a science lesson, students are to
come up with an animal and make a KWL (Know, Want to Know and
Learned) chart with a partner and share with the class. Instead of
allowing students to choose a partner, I would have partners chosen,
therefore the student with Retts syndrome would have a chance to
participate. Then, when students share with the class what they came
up with on their chart, this disabled student would hold the piece of
paper while her partner shared the words that were on the chart.
