Strategies
1)Teaching strategies for the orthopedic impaired disabled include setting up a buddy system so that another student can take notes for the student with a physical disability. A para-educator may be needed to act as a scribe for other in-class requirements. Specific assignments can be adjusted or modified for students, too. A student who has difficulty speaking due to cerebral palsy may need an alternative presentation format in place of an oral presentation. Do not assume, however, that the student cannot or does not want to give the presentation. He may need more time to speak – and better attention from his audience. The key is to make sure all activities include all students.

The classroom environment and educational staff must consider changes and accommodations to increase student participation and enhance learning.
