includes impairments caused by a congenital anomaly,
impairments caused by disease, impairments from
other causes (cerebral Palsy, amputations, and
fractures or burn that that cause contractures).”
• OI is a very diverse disability category
• Encompasses: neuromotor impairments, Degenerative diseases,
musculoskeletal disorders
• Students may also have other disabilities other than an
orthopedic impairment

impairment by doctor.
• If teacher notices any signs of a student having orthopedic
impairments they student must have a medical examination
• If student has an orthopedic impairment, the planning team
decides if it effects student education adversily.
• Motor limitations: have trouble manipulating standard classroom
equipment
• Restricted communication: inability to ask questions
• Fatigue and endurance: effort it takes to move
• Health factors
• Experimental deficits and concept development problems: Lack
common experiences with others
• Neurocognitive impairments
