Low-Incidence Disabilities

Students with low incidence disabilities include those with Intellectual Disabilities, Autism and Multiple Disabilities.

The Berks County Intermediate Unit offers teachers of students with Low Incidence Disabilities individual student consultation and classroom consultation services. Trainings developed for teachers, related service providers and paraprofessionals specific to the instruction in functional and academic needs for this population are offered three to four times annually.

One tool and training series focuses on “The Continuum of Skills for Students with MDS/LSS/AS.” This was developed through a partnership between the BCIU and the Exeter Township School District and is used to assist student teams with planning and implementing programs that meet the unique needs of Low Incidence students.
