Abstract

This paper aims to identify requirements for the development of school furniture for students with motor impairments. In order to ensure access for People with physical disabilities or reduced mobility to school, it is necessary to go beyond the architectural adaptations, providing resources adapted for the effective participation of them. Therefore to achieve the goal a literature review was developed. The requirements identified to guide the development of school furniture for students with motor impairments were: (a) Student’s best comfort; (b) Easy assembly, adjustment and use; (c) Use conditions and maintenance resistance; (d) Adjustability of desk for wheelchair users; (e) Adjustability of chair for users with motor impairments; (f) Emotional aspects of users; (g) Safety; (h) Easy hygienization and disinfection; (i) Reduced maintenance (specific technical care is not need). It should be noted that there are few research to development of school furniture designed specifically for people with motor impairments.
