Low Incidence

Low Incidence refers to a disability that occurs rarely or in low numbers. There are eight disabilities categorized as low incidence:

• Audiology/Deaf Hard of Hearing
• Autism
• Blind/Visual Impairments
• DeafBlind
• Developmental Cognitive Disabilities/Moderate to Severe Mental Impairments
• Other Health Disabilities
• Physical Impairments
• Traumatic Brain Injury

Other Services

• Adaptive Equipment
• Assistive Technology Library (PDF)
• Autism Lending Library (PDF)
  

A variety of resources are available from SCSC such as books, articles, videotapes, and assistive technology equipment. Each low incidence disabillity area has special resources listed as well as some general special education resources including early childhood materials that would be of interest to parents.

These resources are available on loan to general and special educators and parents of Region 9. Requests can be made through Loree Brown at 507.389.1425 or lbrown@mnscsc.org. There may be time limits on their use.

Assistive technology equipment is meant to be used on a trial or short term basis for students. If certain assistive technology equipment seems appropriate for a student's use for an indefinite time, districts would need to consider purchasing that equipment for their student. The lending of equipment gives the team a diagnostic period to determine it if is correct and appropriate for a student.
