How do Mobility Impairments Affect Students in Their College
Experience?
Mobility impairments may affect students in many ways. The most
obvious to faculty members iswhen a
student needs to use a wheelchair, crutches or other assistive
methods for mobility.
However, many mobility impairments are not as readily apparent.
These can impact all aspects of a student’s academic experience as seriously as ones that are
visible.
Mobility impairments include lower body conditions which require the
use of wheelchairs, walkers, crutches and/or canes.
