From the Paper:

"Mental growth of students with disabilities is the main concern with respect to their education. Another area of concern for students with disabilities is their health and physical education. Mental as well as health related and physical education activities are more important for children with disabilities. The law of the land provides equal opportunities for students with disabilities for any programs of physical assessment. Since children with disabilities vary in their health or fitness level, and other aspects relative to their own disability, adjustments are made and different considerations are kept in mind. Therefore it is generally suggested that experts carry out the physical assessment of students with disabilities because each student or individual has his or her own peculiar requirements. "
