//E.8 Physical Disabilities or Chronic Health Impairments// A student is considered to have a physical disability based on the need for special educational services due to a nervous system impairment that impacts movement or mobility. Students are only eligible for funding in this category if their functioning and education is significantly affected by their physical disabilities. It is the extent and impact of the physical/medical condition on the student’s functioning, and the consequent need for services which enable him or her to access an educational program and participate in a meaningful way, that are the determinants.
