James, his parents, teacher, Stage supervisor, occupational therapist and physiotherapist, have been involved in the collaborative curriculum planning process. The process has determined that, across the key learning areas:
- James is working towards Early Stage 1 outcomes
- the implementation of the following adjustments enables James to participate in teaching and learning experiences and assessment opportunities:
- the classroom environment is organised to accommodate James’s furniture and positioning needs, eg classroom furniture is positioned to enable James to manoeuvre his wheelchair in order to work within a group and view other students’ work
- the teacher facilitates James’s movement between positions as planned across the day, eg on the floor supported by a foam wedge, at his table, in his standing frame, or in his wheelchair
- the teacher organises materials appropriate to particular learning experiences and assessment opportunities, eg non-slip mat, velcroed surfaces, 4B pencil with a pencil grip, materials of an appropriate weight, height and size
- the teacher prompts James to reach and use grips, holds, lifts, and in-hand manipulations, as identified by the occupational therapist, to extend his motor skills.
