Orthopedic Impairment
Example:
IF a student cannot hold a book,
THEN provide a book stand.
A student who has an orthopedic impairment may be unable to hold a book. The disability may be due to cerebral palsy, myelomeningiocele, paralysis, malformations of the hand or arm, amputation, low energy, or even temporary injury. Book holders accommodate students who are unable to hold a book. Book holders are considered low-tech Assistive Technology. They come in a variety of styles that accommodate various needs. The right book holder will allow a student to access the curriculum.
