In what areas do students qualify for special education services?
The state of Colorado recognizes 14 disability categories that qualify a student to receive special education services. Each school has a multi-disciplinary team trained to complete an evaluation. The evaluation information is then used by the team, including parents, to determine if the child qualifies for special education services in one or more of the disability categories: Autism Spectrum Disorder; Deaf-Blindness; Developmental Delay; Hearing Impairment, including Deafness; Infant/Toddler with a Disability; Intellectual Disability; Multiple Disabilities; Orthopedic Impairment; Other Health Impaired; Serious Emotional Disability; Specific Learning Disability; Speech or Language Impairment; Traumatic Brain Injury; & Visual Impairment, including Blindness.
