Question

Describe the four ways the educational setting can be adapted to meet the needs of children with disabilities.

Answer 1

It varies greatly depending on the type of the disabilty - you might be talking about wheelchair users, or about partially deaf pupils...

all in all, the main point is to:

- access: ramps, doors, drinking fountains and even the space inside of the classroom need to be adapted to the kid with special needs.

- teaching method: since they cannot participate at certain activities due to their limitations, these ones also need to adapt so the substance of the topic will be succesfully transmited to the kid as well.

- environment awareness: another difficulty that kids with disabilities might face is the acceptance of their condition by their collegues. An official way to separately teach the interested ones about how to properly treat these kids would help. Charts and Informative Papers around the school could also improve the approach

- exclusive activities: once all kids with special needs are gathered at the same place, they can all enjoy the same type of activity without hypothetical jugdemental thought from their collegues behalf, therefore, this could improve their sense of importance by receiving special attention.

Well, hope this helps =)
