Physically disabled students can learn to program depending on their skill abilities and the lesson activities. Well prepared lessons will include differentiated components which are geared/targeted to the child and his/her physical disablity. Lesson formats can include large print font, more pictures, easier assignments, lesser work to do, etc.

What other forms of instruction would you apply to better fit the needs of a physically disabled child?
