We had a small person in our program, I found that having a meeting with the person in the workshop without other people in the workshop and going through the tools one at a time and taking the lead from the student as to what they were comfortable with in planing out strategies for the various tools with was most useful . Everything followed from them feeling included and welcome. Keith

Does anybody have any experience accommodating little people in the wood shop? Specifically the table and band saws. We are planning to build a platform for him to stand on, but would like any other advice that anybody may have. thanks.
We are not allowed to have step stools in our Student Shop but a 4 foot wide supported platform does work well.
They will have room to move around on it.
