CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS
1. "Auditorily Impaired" corresponds to "auditorily handicapped" and further corresponds to the Federal
eligibility categories of deafness or hearing impairment. "Auditorily impaired" means an inability to hear within
normal limits due to physical impairment or dysfunction of auditory mechanisms characterized by (c)1i or ii
below. An audiological evaluation by a specialist qualified in the field of audiology and a speech and language
evaluation by a certified speech- language specialist are required.
i. "Deafness"--The auditory impairment is so severe that the student is impaired in processing linguistic
information through hearing, with or without amplification and the student's educational performance is
adversely affected.
ii. "Hearing Impairment"--An impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating which adversely
affects the student's educational performance.
2. "Autistic" means a pervasive developmental disability which significantly impacts verbal and nonverbal
communication and social interaction that adversely affects a student's educational performance. Onset is
generally evident before age three. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in
repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routine,
unusual responses to sensory experiences and lack of responsiveness to others. The term does not apply if the
student's adverse educational performance is due to emotional disturbance as defined in (c) 5 below. A child
who manifests the characteristics of autism after age three may be classified as autistic if the criteria in this
paragraph are met. An assessment by a certified speech-language specialist and an assessment by a physician
trained in neurodevelopmental assessment are required.

First, globalization is
a genuine
phenomenon fully
worthy of study, but
to study it effectively,
students need to
know about Western
Civilization. That’s
because to a very
high degree the
globalized world is
one that has been
shaped by Western
Civilization. Without
the West’s advances
in communications
and transportation,
any form of global
civilization would be
impossible. Studying
the history of the
West brings a student
to grips, as nothing
else can, with the
roots, the shaping
events, the
underlying causes of
the process and
substance of
globalization, indeed,
of the creation of
modernity itself.
