À propos

IDEA's Categories of Disabilities mind map template covers all 13 federally recognized disability categories under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, including Autism, Deaf-blindness, and Specific Learning Disability. This comprehensive cheat sheet details each category's definition, characteristics, and classroom interventions—such as using a 'reward system to keep student on task' for Autism or 'basal stimulation' for Multiple Disabilities. With 94 nodes organized into 14 branches, it serves as a quick-reference guide for special educators, IEP team members, and parents navigating special education law. The template also provides practical accommodations like 'Personal Ipad provided with speech software' for Orthopedic Impairment and 'visual schedule' for Traumatic Brain Injury, making it an essential tool for developing individualized education plans.
