Region 11 Low Incidence Project

The Region 11 Low Incidence Project is a state-initiated and federally-funded Special Education program serving educators, administrators, and caregivers of students with low incidence disabilities.

This project addresses identified gaps and needs in special education programs and related services for students identified with any low Incidence disability. Coordination of these activities is accomplished through planning and collaboration between Regional Low Incidence Facilitators listed below that cover all eleven regions of the state.

The low incidence disability areas served include Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Blind/Visually Impaired (BVI),  Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH), DeafBlind (DB), Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD), some Other Health Disabilities (OHD), Physical Impairment (PI), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

The project offers training and networking opportunities for staff in low incidence special education and related services such as speech-language, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and assistive technology.

Project activities support and augment school district efforts for students in special education. All school districts in Region 11 have the opportunity to participate in the RLIP - Region 11 activities, projects, and networks.
