Transporting children with disabilities is a very important & involved issue. The American Academy of Pediatrics has a policy statement about this that you might find interesting & helpful. It says the Federal standard on child restraint systems "does not recognize that children with special needs may require the use of special occupant restraint systems." It says that pediatricians can be a source of information to policy makers & school officials "who may be unaware of the importance and availability of occupant protection systems for children with special needs."
The policy then outlines 7 "Important Considerations" & "Guidelines" for different ages & disabilities. This information is very specific & detailed. See the policy statement at: http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/pediatrics;104/4/988
