Today’s episode is part three of my series on knowing your tools and strengthening eligibility practices, and we’re focusing on low incidence disabilities.
I’m walking through three practical tips to help you evaluate students with hearing impairments, visual impairments, or orthopaedic impairments in a way that’s accurate, equitable, and truly team-based.
We talk intentional tool selection (with specialists at the table), how to avoid accidental over-testing by mapping responsibilities, and how to interpret specialist results so your eligibility statements are clear, educationally relevant, and legally defensible.
If low incidence cases ever make you feel like the stakes are higher (because they are), this one will help you feel more confident and coordinated.
