summary/abstract:Kids with physical or mental disabilities can face academic hurdles for a variety of reasons. But parents can take advantage of federal laws to help ensure their children’s special needs are met.

• Communicate, see, hear, or speak
• Read, concentrate, think, or learn
• Stand, bend, lift, or work
