Do students with a categorical eligibility of Other Health Impaired need to have specific goals addressing the health impairment?
IEP goals address the skills or behaviors for which specially designed instruction is required for the child to access and make progress in the general education curriculum. The Present Level will address how the child’s disability affects her/his involvement and progress in the general education curriculum or for preschool children, appropriate activities. When considering eligibility for IDEA resulting from a health, motor, sensory, or non-cognitive impairment, the IEP team must identify the educational concerns resulting from the disability and develop goals that address those educational concerns.
