Designed to assist school authorities in identifying students with disabilities who are eligible for funding in Alberta, Canada, this manual provides information on the identification and review of students with severe disabilities. The first section provides information and case studies of students with severe cognitive or emotional/behavioral disability, severe multiple disability, severe physical or medical disability (including autism), deafness, and blindness. For each disability, a definition is provided, along with answers to questions concerning student characteristics, documentation for eligibility, supports and services that are required (including one-to-one instruction, adaptive equipment, and therapeutic services), components of the student's Individualized Program Plan (IPP), and other supporting documentation. Case studies are then presented that illustrate characteristics of students with these disabilities, sample supports and services, and IPP components. The final section of the handbook includes appendices that provide a glossary, sample student review forms, behavioral assessment reports, Individualized Program Plans and a sample occupational therapy report, a physical therapy assessment report, and a speech-language progress report. A student review form is also presented in French. The manual closes with a list of teacher resources. (CR)
