Physical difficulties

You can expect the teacher within the classroom to make changes to meet needs for every child or young person.

For example:

  • use of resources such as a writing slope or modified scissors
  • use of software and apps to reduce the amount of writing the student needs to do

The education setting will complete a risk assessment if there are mobility difficulties, or the pupil uses a wheelchair.

Support may be given by Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy support services.
