  As for PWD students, I'm sure that the first thing they'd be taught 
  are the relevant spells; possibly a variant of the Sonorus Charm for 
  someone who's non-verbal, at the very least an Accessibility Spell if 
  not a reverse of the Leg-Locker Curse for someone unable to walk, etc.



  I have to disagree here.  I think this is oversimplifying.  The sonorous charm works on the voice itself. Most children who are nonverbal due to neurological disabilities have absolutely no problem with their voices, but instead with the parts of their brain that control their ability to use language.  Besides, I'd like to think that if a child has a disability that can be fixed or changed by magic, it would be done in the early years by  trained medical wizards.
