5)  Answers could include eye-gazing scanning systems, augmentative and alternative communication devices, digitized speech, synthesized speech, and various computer-based systems.

6)  Students with physical disabilities have reported the following problems within the school environment:

 accessibility to such things as play equipment, furniture, or educational equipment;
 uneven surface of floors and walls (carpeting, rugs, or uneven floor surfaces);
 heavy doors, narrow passageways, the height of lockers, types of locks, and accessibility to recreation equipment; and
 barriers entering school because the ramps were located in the back of the school.

It is likely that there are others as well.

Among the steps teachers can take to improve accessibility are:

 Widening aisles between desks.
 Placing equipment such as computers, tape recorders, and bookshelves appropriately.
 When planning field trips, call ahead and check to ensure that the visiting site has been adapted to accommodate students with disabilities. If you are taking public transportation, check whether persons in wheelchairs can use the public buses. If not, the student needs to be lifted onto the bus and the wheelchair folded up and carried along. This may present difficulties, particularly with an older student, so advance planning will be necessary.

Many other steps are also appropriate and acceptable.

7)  Students should include the following in their answers:

 Place students with limited physical movement in the front and center of a traditional classroom.
 Make sure tables and desks are at an appropriate height for wheelchairs.
 Make sure all materials can be reached and grasped by the student, or supply a trustworthy assistant.
 Avoid the use of carpet squares or other materials that may act as a barrier to the wheelchair.
 Consider major classroom renovations that may be required, particularly in lab settings.
 Integrate into the classroom routine any assistive technology used for communication.

8)  An inability to move through ones environment can impact on cognitive development by limiting potential areas of experience. To make up for this, students with physical disabilities need to participate as fully as possible in a wide range of activities and learning contexts. It is extremely important for them to use their existing physical capabilities to the fullest.

9)  Diabetes is a condition that most teachers will encounter in their career. Students should mention that the disorder is metabolism related, involving blood sugar. They could also discuss proper intervention (continuously monitoring blood sugar). Students with juvenile diabetes can do fairly well in the classroom. Because the condition can have severe consequences if not monitored appropriately, teachers must be aware of the symptoms that might impact negatively on the student with diabetes. Symptoms that might cause alarm for the teacher include fatigue, trouble breathing, skin that feels hot and dry to the touch, and excessive thirst. A diabetic student may also experience a condition of too much insulin, with symptoms of dizziness, faintness, drowsiness, and irritability.
