    Students can be classified based on whether they have high-incidence or low-incidence disabilities. High-incidence disabilities include communication disorders, specific learning disabilities, and mild/moderate mental retardation and affect a larger portion of students. Low-incidence disabilities, which affect only 1% of students, include blindness, deafness, autism, and serious physical impairments. The document recommends the Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology website which provides extensive resources on assistive technology and how it relates to students' Individualized Education Programs.

    Low Incidence Tools

    Students with disabilities can be classified in many ways. One


    method is to classify based on high incidence disabilities or low
    incidence disabilities.

    High-incidence disabilities
    include:

    communication disorders
    (speech and language
    impairments)

    specific learning
    disabilities (including
    attention deficit
    hyperactivity disorder
    [ADHD])

    mild/moderate mental

    Low-incidence disabilities include:

    blindness

    low vision

    deafness

    hard-of-hearing

    deaf-blindness

    significant developmental delay

    complex health issues

    serious physical impairment

    multiple disability

    autism

    An interesting statistic is the fact that only 1% of the student


    population falls under the category of low incidence according to
    the National Center on Accessible Instruction Materials.

    When researching this topic I found a group known as


    Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (QIAT).
    Their website can be found at www.qiat.org
    The website is overflowing with information and resources.
    The

    list of Quality Indicators includes:


    Consideration of AT Needs
    Assessment of AT Needs
    AT in the IEP AT Implementation
    Evaluation of Effectiveness of AT
    AT in Transition
    Administrative Support for AT
    AT Professional Development

    On the QIAT website, each of the above indicator has a link with
    extensive information.
