In one class I've observed there is a student with Spina Bifida. This student is confined to a wheelchair. He is part of the regular classroom setting and has many friends among his peers. His teacher has mentioned that at the beginning of the year he wouldn't write, but now he is doing very well and doing his assignments along with the other children.
One modification I've noticed for this student is his desk. He is in first grade, and the desks there are small. This student has a tall desk to accommodate his wheelchair. His teacher has also kept his desk near the door so he doesn't have to maneuver around to many obstacles.
Another modification I noticed was on the K-2 playground. About 2 weeks ago it was shut down for several days so a ramp could be added. This ramp has benefited the student in First Grade so he is able to go to the playground on his own without assistance. I've been very impressed to see the accommodations for him, yet he has not been singled out. He is treated like the other students and doesn't seem to feel that he is different.
