Students with severe disabilities usually have health problems more often and more severely than students without disabilities. Sometimes the combination of an Intellectual Disorder and a physical disability is referred to as multiple disabilities.

Physical disabilities can hinder a child’s ability to participate socially, stay focused, remain healthy, etc. The physical disability may require medication and/or medical care, which can sometimes inconvenience the child or family. The worst side effect of a physical disability is that other students may choose to isolate a child due to the way it looks or seems. Some students are bullied, teased, and targeted by others because of their physical disabilities.
