Examples of accepted documentation of intellectual disability:

  • A record from a school or district that the student is or was eligible for special education and related services under the IDEA, indicating intellectual disability.

If a school record does not list an intellectual disability, other documents that list an intellectual disability may include:

  • A documented comprehensive and individualized psycho-educational evaluation and diagnosis of an intellectual disability by a psychologist or other qualified professional; or
  • A record of the disability from a local or State educational agency, or government agency, such as the Social Security Administration or a vocational rehabilitation agency, that identifies the intellectual disability.
