Good news ... attendants can travel for free if needed for in-flight assistance, and people who need more than one seat due to their size, and where their size has caused a disability, are only allowed to be charged one fare.

The Basics: Supporting Learners With Intellectual Challenge In Regular Classrooms

A Resource for Teachers By Gary Bunch

Supporting Learners Series: Resources for Teachers

This is the first of a series of short, readable, positive support books for teachers that focus on the unique ‘enabling adjustments’ that may be required to provide the best possible learning opportunities for all students – together in regular classrooms. Each book will focus on the adjustments a particular disability label might require. In particular, each book will support the thesis that good teaching is good teaching, thus the most critical training supports teachers need are the enormous creative resources they already have in their teaching careers. Good teaching works for all. Good teachers already know how to do that.
