Children with physical challenges may not be able to help themselves during an emergency. During a rescue in which you are carrying the child, they may not be able to hold on to you. Muscle spasms/tremors will be intensified as a direct result of the stress that the child is feeling. This also begs the question as to whether or not the schools in your district have not just an emergency evacuation plan, but one that really works?
