Answer to Question 1

An inability to move through ones environment can impact on cognitive development by limiting potential areas of experience. To make up for this, students with physical disabilities need to participate as fully as possible in a wide range of activities and learning contexts. It is extremely important for them to use their existing physical capabilities to the fullest.

Answer to Question 2

Diabetes is a condition that most teachers will encounter in their career. Students should mention that the disorder is metabolism related, involving blood sugar. They could also discuss proper intervention (continuously monitoring blood sugar). Students with juvenile diabetes can do fairly well in the classroom. Because the condition can have severe consequences if not monitored appropriately, teachers must be aware of the symptoms that might impact negatively on the student with diabetes. Symptoms that might cause alarm for the teacher include fatigue, trouble breathing, skin that feels hot and dry to the touch, and excessive thirst. A diabetic student may also experience a condition of too much insulin, with symptoms of dizziness, faintness, drowsiness, and irritability.
