So, as regards your complaint about disabled students being a
distraction in
the classroom, I'm un-persuaded that your concern is legitimate. The
solution for other students exposed to this distraction is to be taught
to
ignore it and get on with their studies, however that needs to be
accomplished.

In the case of my anecdote, I can assure you, no amount of
"concentrating" could have allowed one to ignore the utterances,
shrieks, bellows, howling, and general thrashing about. Impossible.

Funny, combat engineers and trauma physicians manage to concentrate with
laser-like precision under much worse conditions. How do you suppose they
learned to do this?
