On the School Bus: Where Mobility, Stability, Least Restrictive, and Safety Are In Balance





This session will explore the therapist’s role in ensuring proper seating, positioning, and support of students with special needs during transportation on the school bus. Effective accommodations and modifications will be discussed which take into account the impact of common problems and medical issues on the entire transportation experience from bus stop to drop off. Discussion includes issues affecting  daily rides to those supports needed during an emergency. Designing individualized transportation plans for students who use wheelchairs, those with sensory processing or behavioral concerns and those with non-obvious disabilities will be a focus.
