Provide a distraction-free environment to take exams. Use a different exam format if necesary. Allow extended time for exams. Accept oral, rather than written, presentations and exams. Begin lectures with an outline of material to be covered.
Physical disabilities encompass a wide-range of abilities.
It is difficult to generalize accommodations for all persons with physical disabilities. The same physical disability can have very different effects on different people and can vary due to periods of remission. Students with specific motor impairments may use canes, scooters, wheelchairs, braces, or crutches to assist in mobility. When teaching students with physical impairments, be sure to know the emergency exit routes for buildings, and if a field trip is required as a class assignment, check the accessibility of the site. Allow extended time to complete exams and other assignments.
