- Orthopedic Impairment requires a professional diagnosis, and the warning signs are varied. It's important to know the warning signs of all orthopedic impairments.
- Physical ability and intellectual/cognitive ability do NOT correlate
- Physical disabilities are diverse, and so are the people who have them.
- Wheelchairs and AT do not solve everything; they only work when the environment is compatible.
- Autonomy and independence are important! Some students want to do things by themselves sometimes, and that's okay.

-Limited communication
- Mobility problems
- Memory problems
- Trouble generalizing skills from one situation to another

The term does not include deaf blindness."

It's not that easy to make a list of signs a student may have an orthopedic impairment. It's up to a healthcare professional to evaluate and diagnose and orthopedic impairment. Further, with such a variety of orthopedic impairments it's difficult to narrow down a list of warning signs for orthopedic impairments in general. Some things to look out for, however, are mobility problems, deformity or distortion of limbs or other body parts, or seizure.
