for Differentiated
Instruction
Katie Maddox, OTR/LKatie Dames, M.S. CCC-SLP
This is NOT a presentation about:
oContento Process o Product oReadiness o Interest o Learning Profiles
We are positive you’ve endured countless hours of professional development targeting
these concepts.
oAccessoAchievement
Incorporating multiple teaching strategies for different learners (exceptional to delayed)
A mulit-sensory approach to learning
Modifications and Accommodations(yes, even for non-special Ed students)
The challenge to teach to the 21st century students.
This IS a presentation about:
BONUS: You walk away with a
toolbox full of techniques you can
use tomorrow.
Curriculum changed… students have changed…
Has your teaching style? Has your classroom environment?
We know that:
Teaching to their Strength
VISUAL TOOLBOX
Show them a different perspective!

A possible problem:Visual learners with Wilson Reading…let’s take a look.
Quick…first thing that comes to your mind?
And this?
And this?
And this?
Kindergarten – 1st & 2nd o Visual Phonics – Imperative and under
used in the general education classroom
o Teacher needs to learn a few signso You will see increased success of
phonemic word formation and decoding with your visual learners.
Possible Solution:

Assistive Technology Ebooks and reading programs (ex: Razkids)
can provide perfect models for visual representation of words while being read.
“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they’re capable of being.” -Goethe
Text-to-Speech Why consider Text-to-speech (TTS)?
Two reasons -1. It is essential for struggling readers; formatting text to be digital now makes it accessible all.2. It can also support the writing process, especially when editing and/or revising independent written work.
Visual Supports Can help prevent problem behavior. Are helpful in supporting and increasing both
receptive and expressive communication. Enhance memory(in children and adults). Are static, allowing children to refer to them once
spoken words have faded. Assist in learning exactly what is expected. Once
taught, adults can fade out of the routine and allow the child to self-monitor (ex: sequenced steps of a task, scheduled events).
Can be used in conjunction with auditory and/or kinesthetic strategies.
Can provide as much or as little information deemed necessary and often act as a prompt to promote appropriate behaviors.
Organization
Sequence each step
Limited prompt
Visual Differentiation in P.E. Demonstrate movements Show a video of game Get your strong kine
AUDITORY TOOLBOX
Most common teaching strategy used today.
How you teach: Use phonetic approach to teach reading (you
are all already doing this….A aaaa apple). Use rhyming word games (pair strong
auditory learners orally Record your lesson and allow student to
replay as needed (post teaching) Incorporate videos within your lesson Use voice amplification…studies show… Stress comprehension over rote drills

READING
Have the student: Read aloud even when reading
independently (whisper phone) Allow oral presentation of knowledge Read to and with their peers Offer choices for
Incorporating FM Systems Using FM Systems to increase literacy
scores in the classroom Evidence based practice states that

KINESTETICTOOLBOX
movement & touch
I hear and I forget.I see and I remember. I do and I
understand.
-Chinese Proverb
Kinesthetic Learners: These students will show you what they
know by what they do.
Easiest way to Learn: Experience/See/Hear
Easiest way to Express: Do/Show/Say
