What do I need to know if a student is going to have limb lengthening surgery?

• Access to school classroom, playground, assembly hall etc needs to be planned before surgery
• Access to a disabled toilet with room to enter in a wheelchair.
• Change position in classroom while in wheelchair, to allow easy access and prevent the leg being knocked.
• Consider access to higer table to allow room for wheelchair and leg extended
• Plan how to 'catch up' student with work missed and social contact with peers
