Over the next few days, I will be reviewing the thirteen different categories of disability. I will leave specific learning disability until the end because there are 8 different areas of eligibility under that one category alone. Today, I'll list the categories and over the next few days, I'll discuss each with some level of detail. 

The 13 different categories of disability are:
  • Autism
  • Deaf and Hard of Hearing
  • Deaf-blindness
  • Developmental Delay
  • Emotional Disabilities
  • Intellectual Disabilities
  • Multiple Disabilities
  • Orthopedic Impairment
  • Other Health Impairment
  • Specific Learning Disability
  • Speech-Language Impairment
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Visual Impairment

The above categories are based on the South Carolina eligibility document as my practice is dedicated to South Carolina. There are some small differences from state to state, although South Carolina basically mirrored the federal guidelines, so there are significant similarities from state to state.
