Children with Low Incidence Disabilities, according to IDEA, are those with disabilities with an expected incidence rate that is less than 1% of the total statewide enrollment. LID students often present with multiple disabilities and, therefore, multiple challenges. A variety of diagnoses--genetic conditions, muscle-skeletal conditions, brain trauma or injury, birth defects, and more---fall under the umbrella of Low Incidence Disabilities. These precious and unique children require highly individualized management and supports, but can thrive in the school and home settings with help. (While the pictures on this page depict very young children, the principles and handling are very similar for most children with Low Incidence Disabilities who continue working on early developmental skills.)
