Answer to Question 2

Examples of strategies include the following (the response should include at least four of these or other appropriate strategies):
 Provide access to the same educational opportunities that other students have; help every student participate in all activities to the fullest extent possible.
 Stay in regular contact with parents about a student's condition.
 Safeguard the student against environmental conditions that may exacerbate his or her symptoms.
 Monitor symptoms and take follow-up action if necessary (e.g., be alert to breathing problems if a child has asthma).
 Make allowances for specific needs (e.g., mid-morning snacks, frequent trips to the restroom or nurse's office).
 Let a student manage his or her own condition (e.g., testing blood-sugar levels) to the extent that the student has the knowledge and skills to do so.
 Know what to do in emergencies.
 Accommodate specific physical needs (e.g., give an oral test rather than a written one).
 Use technological innovations that can assist a child's learning or performance.
 Provide assistance only when students really need it.
 Insist that other children show respect for any student with a disabling condition.
 Educate classmates about the nature of the condition if and only if the child and parents give permission.
 Teach social skills and in other ways facilitate productive interactions with classmates.
 Stay in touch with the student and family during lengthy absences.
