Every disabled student deserves the opportunity to be included with non-disabled
students to the maximum extent, while modifying their program to enable them
to have the utmost academic success.

MC Perry Elementary School's highly qualified instructors provide research-based
modifications and accommodations to the general education curriculum in
order to prepare disabled students to participate in general education
classes and activities. By improving their reading, writing, and math skills,
disabled students will become lifelong learners, able to participate in
the workplace as good citizens interested in their country's political,
economical, and environmental growth.

Listed below are the five disability categories identified
by the law that the Case Study Committee (CSC) will review during the
evaluation process to determine if your child is eligible for special
education at MC Perry and all DoDDS schools.
Students whose educational performance is adversely affected by a physical
impairment that requires environmental and/or academic modifications including,
but not limited to, the following: visually impaired, hearing impaired, orthopedically
impaired, other health impaired. This category also includes the disabilities
of autism and traumatic brain injury.
An emotional condition that has been confirmed by clinical evaluation and diagnosis
and that, over a long period of time and to a marked degree, adversely affects
educational performance. This includes students who are schizophrenic, but
does not include students who are socially maladjusted, unless it is determined
that they are seriously emotionally disturbed.
Students whose educational performance is adversely affected by a developmental
or acquired communication disorder to include voice, fluency, articulation,
receptive and/or expressive language.
This category includes two disabilities. They are:
1. Information Processing Deficit- A disorder in
a student's ability to effectively use one or more of the cognitive
processes in the educational environment. The
term does not apply to students who have learning problems that are
primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, of
mental retardation or emotional disturbance or of environmental, cultural,
or economic disadvantage.
2. Intellectual Deficit- A significantly subaverage
intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive
behavior and manifested during the developmental period that adversely
affects a student's educational performance.
The category of developmental delay is specific
only to children ages birth through 5 and refers to a condition,
which represent a significant delay in the process of development.
The presence of a developmental delay is an indication that the developmental
processes are significantly impacted and that, without special intervention,
it is likely that the educational performance will be affected when
the child reaches school age.
