To get each student involved to the level of their ability, I try to engage them by giving them a choice. (Do you want this red tape or blue? I student looks toward, reaches for or says one, let them start their participation with that chosen thing color of tape, paint, brush scarf, big piece of foil, etc. students who seem non of responsive can be helped by another student choosing for a classmate: which color do you want to give Gracie? Red. Okay. Gracy will use red. Having students make physical or visual contact helps them become more engaged. Letting them knock down or wrinkle up materials as an acceptable choice get more positive “buy in” and gets the other students attention.

I would have my students seated in a line and / or circle because they all in wheelchairs, and their line of vision is varied. In a circle, two other staff would need to help support the students holding and passing the scarves. They would enjoy feeling and having the scarves over them.
