This guide for Michigan parents of children with physical disabilities provides a synopsis of information and suggestions on school bus transportation gained from a series of four workshops. Topics covered include: (1) planning (determining just what the student's special transportation needs are by the Individualized Educational Planning Committee); (2) communication (such as always communicating to transportation personnel any necessary changes such as an alternate drop site); (3) safety of equipment (for example, keeping all special equipment such as wheelchairs in top condition); (4) clothing (for example, dressing the child appropriately for the circumstances); (5) loading and unloading; (6) preparing for the ride (for example, ensuring that the child is emotionally and physically prepared); and (7) problem solving (such as dealing directly and thoughtfully with the persons most involved).
