DIFFICULTY
MOVING/WALKING

ERROL BARIA
Definition
Learners with difficulty moving/walking refer to individuals who
face challenges in their mobility due to physical disabilities or
impairments. These difficulties can affect their ability to walk, run,
or move around freely.
IDENTIFICATION
Identifying learners with difficulty moving/walking can be done
through various methods such as medical reports, assessments
conducted by healthcare professionals, or observations made by
teachers and parents. Physical disabilities or conditions like
cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries, or
amputations can contribute to difficulties in mobility.
Learning Characteristics
Learners with difficulty moving/walking may exhibit unique learning
characteristics due to their physical limitations. Some common
learning characteristics include:
1.SLOWER MOVEMENT
They may take more time to move from
one place to another or require assistive
devices like wheelchairs, crutches, or
walkers.
2.LIMITED PHYSICAL ENDURANCE

These learners may tire more quickly


compared to their peers, affecting their
ability to actively participate in physical
activities or extended periods of
walking.
3.FINE MOTOR CHALLENGE

Difficulties in fine motor skills, such as


writing or manipulating small objects,
may be present due to limited mobility
or dexterity.
4.NEED FOR ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Learners may require specialized


equipment or assistive technology to
facilitate their learning, such as
adaptive keyboards, voice recognition
software, or wheelchair-accessible
desks.
General Educational
Adaptations
To support learners with difficulty
moving/walking in their educational journey,
several general educational adaptations can
be implemented:
1.PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
MODIFICATION
😊.Ensuring that classrooms, hallways, and
school facilities are accessible and
wheelchair-friendly, with ramps, elevators,
and accessible restrooms.
2.ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY
😊 Providing learners with access to
appropriate assistive technology and
training on how to use it effectively.
3.INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION
PLANS(EPs)

😊Developing IEPs that address the unique


needs of each learner, including specific
accommodations or modifications to support
their mobility challenges.
4.COLLABORATION WITH SPECIALIZED
PROFESSIONALS

😊Working closely with physical therapists,


occupational therapists, or mobility
specialists to provide targeted interventions
and strategies to improve mobility and
independence.
5.INCLUSIVE TEACHING PRACTICES

😊Implementing inclusive teaching


strategies that accommodate diverse
learning needs, such as providing alternative
assignments, flexible seating arrangements,
or extra time for movement breaks.
