Wheelchair bound student with brittle bones. Most classes will be upstairs. Day to day, student uses the elevator. However, does anyone have suggestions on evac plans and/or evac aids to use in the event of emergency?

Update: Our local Fire Chief recommends shelter in place in a safe zone, which for us would be stairwells. However, our Special Ed dept is looking into a stair chair with the agreement that if we have a stair chair, it will be used during every fire drill to gain practice and confidence with it.

We do that too.
