Most students will be aware of time restrictions and will schedule their classes accordingly. However, it is not always possible to leave enough time between classes. Early classes, attendant schedules, van service difficulties, parking and weather may cause a student to be late or absent. In addition, physical problems may require prolonged absences for medical treatment. Students and instructors may want to plan for these occasions, so students do not miss important class material.
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.
