13 Special Education Categories

It is important to have a solid list of these because that way, we know who qualifies for IEP and special education services.
These categories are: autism, deaf-blindness, deafness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, specific learning disability, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, or visual impairment
IDEA gives 13 categories of disabilities that qualify children for Special Education services
