Access Issues:
Inability to gain access to inaccessible building or room. Decreased eye-hand coordination. Impaired verbal communication. Decreased physical stamina and endurance.
For specially aided students, self-image is extremely important. Peers can be cruel to such child with physical handicaps and become involved in teasing, casting insulting remarks and excluding physically handicapped children from games and group type activities. Teachers need to ensure that the child's self image is positive.
Physically handicapped students are aware of the fact that they are physically different than most others and that there are certain things they cannot do. These children want to succeed and participate as much as they can and this needs to be encouraged and fostered by the people like us. The focus needs to be on what the child CAN do - not can't do.
Compliment them time to time for various reasons. Make adjustments and accommodations whenever possible to enable such people to participate. Never pity the handicapped person, they do not want your pity.
