Examples: floors that do not have a nonslip surface can make wheelchair and other travel difficult for some students; furniture that is placed in lanes can block access to the chalkboard or equipment such as computers and make mobility difficult for students using wheelchairs; tables, pencil sharpeners, and chalkboards that are too high may prove inaccessible to students who use wheelchairs. Considerations based on universal design help alleviate all these issues.
