Preferred term

physical exceptionalities  

Definition

  • Although students with physical and some health-related disabilities used to be excluded from public schools in the United States, since the passage of the federal special education law in 1975, their right to an education comparable to that of other students has been guaranteed. For some students, the key supports needed are physical assistance and access to technology. [Source: Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education; Disabilities, Physical and Health-Related]
