text: Distance learning helps students that are disabled that cannot go to school because of their disability. For example, my classmate Generic_Name, he cannot walk without assistance from another person. Although he learns and engages in the lesson, he spends a good portion of the day going to the class rather than participating in it. If Generic_Name had a way to receive his education through online or video conferencing he would not have to spend so much time going to class. Another example is my friend Generic_Name, he cannot go to school due to his disability and as a result is home schooled. His education is stunted, however, as his parents do not have the resources that schools do. He cannot garner the experiences of a normal teenager and must take what is given. Had Generic_Name had a form of online learning, he could have discussions with his fellow classmates and learn more than what he being limited to. Through video or online education, a person with disabilities can still be educated.
