Transcription: 
In order to prove that your child needs special education services, you must have your school conduct the necessary assessments. The assessments could be anything, such as, state tests, academic assessments, speech and language assessments. There are 13 categories in which a child may be found eligible for special education services: Autism, specific learning disability, other health impairment, What's important about "other health impairment," is that it is somewhat of a catch all. For example, if you have a child with ADHD. That's is where those kids go, other health impairments. It could be that a child has multiple disabilities. They don't really fit into one specific category, so they will give them the eligibility of other health impairment. There is many others as well.
