I remember attending speech lessons in a supply closet. When we moved in third grade I attended speech lessons in a supply closet. The closet was eventually reclaimed for storage. They moved us. To a different supply closet. Are you sensing a theme here?
I think we've made some progress, at least in my current placement. We actually use rooms when servicing students. And perhaps because of my speech experience I'm more in tune but when I introduce specialists to the class, I introduce them as teachers. Not as the speech teacher or the OT, but simply as teachers.
After a month or so, students start to notice when their peers are pulled for services. Instead of viewing one another as being different or having needs, students typically come to the conclusion that their peers are leaving the room to play fun games. They feel like they're missing out! Then we run into, "Why does Johnny always get to go? I never get a turn."
Soooo, during the course of the year we try to schedule a time for everyone to go and have a chance to work with those specialists. In these pictures you can see us having fun with the PT as she sets up an obstacle course for us and teaches us some songs with movements. You can tell by their faces they're just a little bit happy to be there.
