We are returning to our series on the eligibility categories with four brief episodes on the categories that can be summarized within the law as “low incidence disabilities.” This section of the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is an umbrella of four sub-categories, so let’s take a closer look at low incidence deaf-blindness in today’s episode.

Show Highlights:

• Why the deaf-blindness category is for students with both severe hearing and vision loss who need additional services other than standard IEP services
• Why these impairments require highly specialized training, services, and IEP personnel
• Why individual education programs are necessary to meet the unique needs of each child
• Why there is no excuse and no exceptions for schools not to have access to the personnel to provide these highly specialized services
