Supporting physical disabilities in the classroom
Appropriately supporting pupils with physical disabilities in the classroom is essential to ensure equal access to learning, meaningful participation, and the development of independence alongside their peers. Through careful planning and thoughtful adaptations, schools can create truly inclusive environments where pupils with physical disabilities are able to engage fully with learning and thrive both socially and academically.
Ali Neal is a specialist Occupational Therapist who regularly presents at conferences and events. In this session, she explores effective ways for supporting physical disabilities, focusing on practical adaptations to classrooms and shared spaces to promote accessibility and inclusion.
