FLEXIBLE

One resouce I found was at [|www.teachervision.fen.com] which was related to curriculum adaptation, an area that if done correctly will assist students with special needs if done incorreclty it will be of no use at all. FLEXIBLE is an acronym for Feasible, Lively, Eliminated, eXplicit, Intentional, Beneficial, Limelight, Evaluated.

It provide questions to ask before you select an adaptation such as Limelight - How and when can I implement the adaptation so that it does not put the student with disabilities in an unfavourable position? What a lightbulb moment, we have discussed making curriculum adaptations but I had not even thought about how to resuce the potential embarrasment that these changes could cause the student. This FLEXIBLE process could be used across all year groups as it is about changing thought processes when adapting curriculum.

The FLEXIBLE checklist could be printed off and displayed prominently in staff areas to remind teachers of the questions to ask themselves to ensure that the curriculum adaptation may work.
