Students with physical and health disabilities have special needs in terms of access to education. What types of accommodations may be necessary?
What will be an ideal response?
Part of this accessibility is related to physical accessibility-wheelchair ramps, elevators, wide doorways-but this type of access generally is straightforward. The access that is more challenging to accomplish, but critical, is access to instruction. Sometimes these students need to be physically moved into the positions that are recommended for them. Some children may have IEPs calling for instruction in mobility skills, and some students require assistance to communicate with their teachers and peers. Whether students with physical and health disabilities learn easily or struggle, they may need special consideration related to schoolwork. Another type of access to instruction may relate to assistive technology. Some students may need materials to be adapted so that they can be used. Access to education for some students relates to procedures that enable them to attend school, and that might be related services provided by paraprofessionals and others (e.g., tube feeding, therapists).
