The difficulties of students with disabilities make it impossible for them to complete fundamental tasks, such as acquiring skills and interacting with teachers or peers.
Disabilities refer to a wide variety of conditions that may interfere with a student’s ability to perform everyday activities. In recent studies many schools are well-intentioned but not well-informed when it comes to the issue of students with disabilities they are unaware of what they could be doing to students with mild disabilities. For some students with disabilities which are simply structural or health problems that do not require special educational facilities or services, but for other students, however, their physical disabilities may interfere with their ability to walk, write, speak, or take care of their personal needs. Still others may be able to do all of these things but may not be able to accomplish one or more of them easily, or they may need more time or special assistance for certain school activities. In most cases, specialists from different medical and educational fields work as a team to design educational programs for students with disabilities, and to provide special services and equipment. Some of these specialists, such as occupational and physical therapists, may work with the children either in the classrooms or in specially designed physical therapy rooms in the school. While many students with disabilities have the same ability to learn as other students, some of them also have learning disorders, mental retardation, or other conditions that require special services.
