accommodated in
special education programs solely for children with deafness or children with blindness.

3) Deafness - a hearing impairment that is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic
information through hearing; with or without amplification that adversely affects a child's
educational performance.
4) Emotional disturbance - 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 child's educational performance:
a) An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors.
b) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers.

child's educational performance but that is not included under the definition of deafness in this section.
6) Mental retardation -a significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning, existing concurrently

does not
include deaf-blindness.
8) Orthopedic impairment - a severe orthopedic impairment that adversely affects a child's educational
performance. The term includes impairments caused by congenital anomaly (e.g., clubfoot, absence of

perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia.

visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, of mental retardation, of emotional disturbance, or of
environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage.
11) Speech or language impairment - a communication disorder, such as stuttering, impaired
articulation,
language impairment, or a voice impairment, that adversely affects a child's educational performance.
