The elementary school where you work is being swiftly rebuilt after a major fire. As the school social worker, you have been asked to review the design to ensure that the physical environment will meet the developmental needs of all children, including those youngsters with physical disabilities. You will be presenting your design to the town's Board of Education for approval next week. Develop a list of "must haves" and cite reasons why these designs will influence more positive behavior.
What will be an ideal response?
Ramps must be built, three feet wide with a 5-by-5 foot area at the top to allow for the door opening. There should be no thick carpet, and nonslip material must be present on slippery floors. All doorways must be 32 inches wide, 36 if possible. Doors should have levers rather than knobs, and should be automatic if possible. Braille signs should be installed about four feet off the ground to accommodate the kids. There must be wheelchair-accessible bathroom stalls and toilets. More needs should also be noted.
