6.   Committee Recommendations:

Classification (NASET Coding System and Guide Coding):

Level I-Orthopedic Impairment                                                                  OI

Level II-Cerebral Palsy                                                                                OI 2.0

Lester suffers from cerebral palsy which is an umbrella-like term used to describe a group of chronic disorders impairing control of movement that appear in the first few years of life and generally do not worsen over time. The disorders are due to the effects of faulty development of or damage to motor areas in the brain that disrupts the brain's ability to control movement and posture. Symptoms of cerebral palsy include difficulty with fine motor tasks (such as writing or using scissors), difficulty maintaining balance or walking, involuntary movements. The symptoms differ from person to person and may change over time.

Level III-Spastic Cerebral Palsy                                                                 OI 2.04

Specifically, Lester has a type of cerebral palsy called spastic cerebral palsy which occurs when the muscles are too tight. Patients will have stiff and jerky movement and will often have difficulty letting go of something in their hand. Approximately half of all cerebral palsy sufferers have spastic cerebral palsy Spastic cerebral palsy is divided into subcategories.

Level IV                                                                                             Not Applicable

Level V                                                                                               Severe

This suggests that the Lester’s disability has a severe adverse effect on his or her educational performance. The student should receive special education and related services in a public or private separate day school for students with disabilities for more than 50% of the school day.
