One of the obstacles for a student in a wheelchair, that has been encountered at my school, was the height of computer desks. The student had a motorized wheelchair, which sat higher up than a normal chair. The school bought desks to accommodate her, in each computer class that she would be taking. This helped her through her program.

Another obstacle is the amount of space between desks and/or tables, to move around in a wheelchair. Most of our classrooms have tables, so they can be moved for the wheelchair students; the other students will still have enough room, and can be close enough to hear and see the instructor. The instructor will also still have room to move around,while lecturing or at the board. Students accept change like these pretty quickly, and things seem to go smoothly.
