“Physical disabilities” encompass a wide range of conditions that affect a person’s mobility, physical function, or stamina. These can include conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, and amputations. In special education, students with physical disabilities may require accommodations, assistive technology, and specialized instruction to access the curriculum and participate in school activities.
