Autism

 

The school may diagnose a child as having multiple disabilities if they occur in combination with each other, cause severe educational problems, and cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for one of the impairments. Examples of such combinations are physically impaired/mentally impaired; physically impaired/visually impaired; and hearing impaired/mentally impaired. The term does not include deaf-blindness.
