Re: Disabled students on the team

The only issue we've had so far is a latex allergy. In this case, it just means that we bagged up all the surgical tubing and replaced our gloves and added verifying that new gloves are non-latex was added to our safety checklist.

The real key to making this work is to accommodate each team member with the abilities they do have, rather than focus on disabilities. That is, find out which parts of the team's activities this student is capable of doing, and focus there. I've seen people do amazing things, so try not to pre-judge what someone can or cannot do.
