= Welcome to our Physical and Neurological Impairments Wiki =

The topic that our group chose is quite vast and encompasses a large number of different exceptionalities. Under the heading " Physical and Neurological Impairments ", we find conditions ranging from children with **asthma** to students who suffer from more complicated exceptionalities, such as **Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy** or **Cystic Fibrosis**. Although many educators will teach their whole lives and never run into a student with these kinds of impairments, trends in education are changing. The classroom is becoming more inclusive to students with exceptionalities  and we should be prepared to deal with different situations that may arise. While many of these children will have their own different types of therapists (speech, physical, psychological), it is up to the teacher to make the student feel included in classroom activities  and to teach the other students to respect and understand the condition of those with impairments.

We hope that this wiki will provide a good starting point to inform the teachers of the future about how to create an inclusive classroom for all different kinds of students. For the purpose of this project, our group members have each chosen 2-3 conditions that thought were important to talk about. We have outlined information about the condition and what teachers need to know about accommodations, modifications and inclusion techniques. Take a look around and feel free to post anything in our discussion page.
