Strategies 

As with most students with disabilities, the classroom accommodations for students with orthopedic impairments will vary dependent on the individual needs of the student. Since many students with orthopedic impairments have no cognitive impairments, the general educator and special educator should collaborate to include the student in the general curriculum as much as possible.

 

 

Assistive Technology

The devices below are focused on aiding the student to access the educational material:

  • speech recognition software

  • screen reading software

Devices used for assiting with mobility:

  • canes

  • walkers

  • crutches

  • wheelchairs

 

 

"Teachers, keep in mind mobility devices when arranging classroom furniture and assigning seats."
