As part of the IEP team, general education and special education teachers must possess an understanding of the eligibility categories used to determine if a student is eligible to receive special education services. These categories are broad and many types of diagnoses fall under each category. For example, attention deficit disorder is one common disability that falls under the category of Other Health Impaired, and Down syndrome falls under Intellectual Disability. Dyslexia is also a diagnosis that usually falls under the category of Specific Learning Disability in the area of Reading and has specific, unique characteristics. General education and special education teachers must collaborate and communicate in a professional and articulate manner with school psychologists, related service providers, administrators, colleagues, and families when determining eligibility and providing a rationale to support the need for delivery of services.
Use the provided “Disability Matrix Template” to complete this assignment. Follow the example “Autism” row in the template.
Identify and research the disability categories under IDEA.
Support your findings with an additional three scholarly resources.

1. As part of the IEP team, general education and special
education teachers must possess an understanding of the
eligibility categories used to determine if a student is eligible
to receive special education services. These categories are
broad and many types of diagnoses fall under each category.

disability that falls under the category of Other Health
Impaired, and Down syndrome falls under Intellectual
Disability. Dyslexia is also a diagnosis that usually falls under
the category of Specific Learning Disability in the area of
Reading and has specific, unique characteristics. General
education and special education teachers must collaborate and
