Help for MD in SIRAS

CALPADS Notes

When we have Multiple Disabilities listed as an eligibility, it needs to be listed as the Primary Disability. 

Multiple disabilities is defined as:

(7) Multiple disabilities means concomitant impairments, such as intellectual disability-blindness or intellectual disability-orthopedic impairment, the combination of which causes such severe educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for one of the impairments. "Multiple disabilities" does not include deaf-blindness.

In regards to Low Incidence reporting, if we want the record to be reported as part of Low Incidence, MD must be listed as Primary and Secondary Disability is the most prominent low incidence disability.
