Proposed Changes to the Manual

SHERRI YBARRA, SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

SUPPORTING SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE

Glossary: Clarify the term “audiologist” for consistency with professional

• responsibilities. Replace “deafness” and “hearing impairment” with “deaf
• r hard of hearing.” Remove “modification” to be consistent with use of

terms “accommodation” and “adaptation.” Chapter 4: Evaluation and Eligibility: Replace “deafness” and “hearing impairment” with “deaf or hard of hearing.” Provide clarification of the Language Impairment category if a student does not qualify under the criteria for Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Chapter 9: Private School Students: Remove terminology “or dual enrollment” to align with Idaho Code 33‐203 and other areas of the manual. Chapter 10: Improving Results: Change “Computer Based Route to Teacher Certification” to “Non‐Traditional Route to Certification” to align with teacher certification standards. Remove reference to alternative route preparation program for para‐educators that is no longer available.

Some of the proposed changes to the Idaho Special Education Manual include:
