A student may use one type of device exclusively, or may have a combination of mobility devices depending on the transportation needs. Wheelchairs come in a variety of styles and sizes, with many types of optional attachments available. Some individuals who use a wheelchair can also stand or walk short distances and can transfer to a regular desk.
Scooters are another mobility device for individuals who have difficulty walking.
In general, a person who uses a scooter can transfer to a regular desk in the classroom and park the scooter outside the door. Walkers, canes, and crutches are also mobility devices which allow an individual a greater range of travel. Most students who use mobility devices will ask for assistance if they need it. Don't assume automatically that assistance is required. Offer assistance, but do not insist.
