CURRICULUM (Continued)
NOVEMBER 24, 2015
CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS
1. "Auditorily Impaired" corresponds to "auditorily handicapped" and further corresponds to the Federal
eligibility categories of deafness or hearing impairment. "Auditorily impaired" means an inability to hear within
normal limits due to physical impairment or dysfunction of auditory mechanisms characterized by (c)1i or ii
below. An audiological evaluation by a specialist qualified in the field of audiology and a speech and language
evaluation by a certified speech- language specialist are required.
i. "Deafness"--The auditory impairment is so severe that the student is impaired in processing linguistic
information through hearing, with or without amplification and the student's educational performance is
adversely affected.
ii. "Hearing Impairment"--An impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating which adversely
affects the student's educational performance.
2. "Autistic" means a pervasive developmental disability which significantly impacts verbal and nonverbal
communication and social interaction that adversely affects a student's educational performance. Onset is
generally evident before age three. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in
repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routine,
unusual responses to sensory experiences and lack of responsiveness to others. The term does not apply if the
student's adverse educational performance is due to emotional disturbance as defined in (c) 5 below. A child
who manifests the characteristics of autism after age three may be classified as autistic if the criteria in this
paragraph are met. An assessment by a certified speech-language specialist and an assessment by a physician
trained in neurodevelopmental assessment are required.
3. "Intellectually Disabled" means a disability that is characterized by significantly below average general
cognitive functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior; manifested during the
developmental period that adversely affects a student's educational performance and is characterized by one of
the following:
i. "Mild Intellectual Disability" means a level of cognitive development and adaptive behavior in home,
school, and community settings that are mildly below age expectations with respect to all of the following:
(1) The quality and rate of learning;
(2) The use of symbols for the interpretation of information and the solution of problems; and
(3) Performance on an individually administered test of intelligence that falls within a range of
two to three standard deviations below the mean.
ii. "Moderate Intellectual Disability" means a level of cognitive development and adaptive
behavior that is moderately below age expectations with respect to the following:
(1) The ability to use symbols in the solution of problems of low complexity;
(2) The ability to function socially without direct and close supervision in home, school and
community settings; and
