Students with disabilities can be impacted by their disability differently depending on what their disability is. Students with disabilities are generally average to above-average learners. Their unevenness in a specific area may alert parents or service providers that the student may require support or accommodations to support their learning.

The performance may not match existing potential. Students with learning disabilities generally have average or above average intelligence.

People usually think of disabilities as physical. Disabilities also include in the spectrum sensory and learning. Teachers should think of all of these when engaging a classroom. They may have to fine tune their teaching to someone's disability. Hence supporting the persons educational needs and helping them to thrive as others in the classroom.
Certain disabilities can be classified as psychological or physical. While there is treatment for most, each student with a disability should be treated equally and with respect.
