I always bring to mind when thinking of these things, a student I knew as an infant who had a birth anoxic injury and was quite bright but unable to walk or sit, or speak, or turn pages of a book.
This is one of those cases that should IMO be a no brainer - a bright child who needed physical access, both to the building and to the mainstream curriculum, to succeed. Quite different to Aquinas‘ example of a child that 8s severely mentally disabled and no amount of physical support can change the fact that the child cannot understand the mainstream content offered to age peers.
