What are the educational implications for students who have Becker's Dystrophy?
- In Primary School the main considerations are around mobility and independence.
- In PE pupils should be encouraged to access as many physical activities as possible to use the full range of movements for as long as possible.
- Pupils will tire easily—monitor fatigue / look for patterns in school week.
- Because of increasing weakness in the shoulder girdle muscles the child should not be pulled up by the hands or from under the arms.
- Support for handwriting—consider scribe / access to ICT
