The idea
Federal regulations define thirteen disability categories for IDEA eligibility, including autism, emotional disturbance, intellectual disability, other health impairment, specific learning disability, and speech or language impairment.
In practice
A student with ADHD is typically served under other health impairment.
Where people slip
The eight achievement areas, from oral expression to mathematics problem solving, belong to specific learning disability, not to eligibility in general.
