(Refer to the section in your text that discusses this disability group or web sites that address accommodations for that particular disability group – e.g. if you read Deenie you would describe accommodations for children with other physical disabilities described in chapter 10 of the text, or if you read Cut you would then reference emotional/behavioral disorders as referenced in chapter 8 of the text as well as other sources dealing with emotional/behavior disorders)
