Low Incidence

Low Incidence refers to the categorical disabilities with a "lower incidence" across demographics. Historically these categories have included students with categorical disabilities in the areas of: DCD, PI, TBI, OHD, VI, DHH, Deaf/Blind. Due to the often complex nature of the student needs typically associated with these categories, the Low Incidence team includes many related services personnel and itinerant teaching staff.
A comprehensive list of these service providers is listed below for your reference.
