EVACUATION PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES Procedures

· At the beginning of each school year all teachers who have students with special needs will meet with PPS staff and review each child’s IEP as a team · Crisis intervention/response strategies will be developed with input from each member of the teaching team · An implementation drill will be conducted shortly thereafter

Hearing Impaired

· Alert the students that there is an emergency—switch lights on and off to gain attention or gesture what is happening or what to do · With simple direct gestures or sign language, point them to safety

Wheelchair Confined

· Students in wheelchairs who have respirators must have priority assistance if there is smoke, as their ability to breathe is jeopardized · Determine if there are limitations on moving the students or if lifting may be dangerous to their health
