Auditorily Impaired (AI) 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) i 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 (DB) - The auditory impairment is so severe that the student is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification and the students 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 (AU) - 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 experience 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 neuro developmental assessment are required. 3. Cognitively Impaired (MR) - corresponds to “mentally retarded” and 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:

30

i. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MIC) -corresponds to “educable” and 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 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 Cognitive Impairment (MOC) - corresponds to “trainable” and 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 (3) Performance on an individually administered test of intelligence that fall three standard deviations or more below the mean.

iii. Severe Cognitive Impairment (SCI)- corresponds to “eligible for day training” and means a level of functioning severely below age expectations whereby in a consistent basis the student is incapable of giving evidence of understanding and responding in a positive manner to simple directions expressed in the child’s primary mode of communication and cannot in some manner express basic wants and needs. 4. Communication Impaired (COM)- corresponds to “communication handicapped” and means a language disorder in the areas of morphology, syntax, semantics and/or pragmatics/discourse which adversely affects a student’s educational performance and is not due primarily to an auditory impairment. The problem shall be demonstrated through functional assessment of language in other than a testing situation and performance below 1.5 standard deviations, or the 10th percentile on at least two standardized oral language tests, where such tests are appropriate. When the area of suspected disability is language, assessment by a certified speech-language specialist and assessment to establish the educational impact are required. The speech-language specialist shall be considered a child study team member. 1. When it is determined that the student meets the eligibility criteria according to the definition in (c) 4 above, but requires instruction by a speech-language specialist, only the student shall be classified as eligible for speech-language services. When the area of suspected disability is a disorder of articulation, voice or fluency, the student shall be evaluated according to N.J.A.C. 6A:14-3.4(e) and if eligible, classified as eligible for speech-language services according to N.J.A.C. 6A:14-3.6(a). 5. Emotionally Disturbed (ED) - means a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects a student’s educational performance due to:

31

disabling conditions (for classifications) based on the definition of multiply disabled. Multiply disabled is characterized as follows: i. “Multiple disabilities” means concomitant impairments, the combination of which causes such severe educational problems that programs designed for the separate disabling conditions will not meet the student’s educational needs. ii. “Deaf/blindness” means concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational problems that cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for students with deafness or students with blindness. 7. Orthopedically Impaired (OI) - corresponds to “orthopedically handicapped” and means a disability characterized by a severe orthopedic impairment that adversely affects a student’s educational performance.

A medical assessment documenting the orthopedic condition is required. 9.
