Some students prefer to stay in their wheelchairs instead of transferring to a student desk. Table-type desks which are high enough for wheelchairs can be moved into classrooms. Lab tables may need to be modified to accommodate wheelchairs. The student can give all instructions to an aide and learn everything except the physical manipulation of the lab equipment. If needed, students should discuss alternative test-taking methods with the instructor.
Instructors can give oral tests.
Students could tape record answers to tests or type answers. Students may write slowly and need extended time for tests. Students requiring test-writing assistance or extended should not be asked to take tests in hallways or other distracting areas. Some students take notes for themselves, some students tape lectures and take notes from the tapes, some students photocopy a classmate's notes and some students rely on a notetaker .
