What are examples of science lab accommodations for students who
have health impairments? Since each student's accommodation
needs are unique and the student is often most knowledgeable
about effective accommodations, be sure to talk with the student
about what accommodations he/she might need. Some specific
accommodations that might be useful to a student with a health
impairment in a science lab include the following: - Avoid
chemical materials to which the student is allergic or provide
an alternate assignment. - Allow for a flexible schedule and
time allocation. - Provide detailed instructions. This list is
from the DO-IT publication Making Science Labs Accessible to
Students with Disabilities. For more examples of accommodations
that can be made in science labs consult the DO-IT Knowledge
