Young children with disabilities frequently require assistance in moving and may use a wheelchair, a walker, adult support, or other method for mobility. Some children may need the environment organized in a way such that running in the classroom is discouraged and confusion reduced. Planning needs to occur concerning the routes the child will take to classroom areas, the bathroom, the lunchroom, the playground, and arrival and departures from the building. Some guidelines for determining routes for movement are: determine where the child will be throughout the day and the routes taken by the class, identify the routes for a wheelchair, identify areas that might be difficult or dangerous for a child with physical challenges, and plan strategies for organizing a child's movement through space. Some specific environmental accommodations include:

• clear pathways.
• tables organized in the classroom for wheelchair mobility and access.
• doors kept shut.
• bean bags chairs arranged in the story area.
• cubicle or coat hooks assigned on the end of the row and near the door.
• areas defined by a carpet or carpet squares or shelves.
