What is a physical disability?
IDEA refers to physical disabilities as orthopedic impairment, and in C.F.R. Sec 300.7 states: "Orthopedic impairment means a severe orthopedic impairment that adversely affects a child's educational performance.”

Why AIM for students with physical disabilities?
• Significant barriers to accessing curriculum materials:o Carrying materials.o Opening books/magazines, websites, etc.o Turning pages.o Making notes.
• Innovative and adaptive uses of technology support students with physical disabilities in having meaningful access to both digital (and standard print) materials.
