Question: 1 / 400

What does the term "multiple disabilities" refer to?

Significantly subnormal cognitive functioning

More than one impairment significantly impacting the student

The term "multiple disabilities" refers specifically to more than one impairment that significantly impacts a student's educational performance and daily functioning. This concept encompasses a wide range of conditions and challenges that may include physical, intellectual, sensory, or emotional disabilities. For students identified as having multiple disabilities, the combination of these impairments often leads to a unique set of needs that require tailored educational strategies and support.

The other options describe specific issues or disabilities but do not capture the broader definition of "multiple disabilities." For example, significantly subnormal cognitive functioning pertains only to intellectual disabilities, while an impairment of the skeletal system is a specific physical issue. A learning disability affecting basic skills highlights a singular area of difficulty rather than an interaction of multiple impairments.
