This Quick Turn Around issue analysis summarizes information gathered by Project FORUM on the disability terms used by state education agencies (SEAs). All 50 states and 6 non-state jurisdictions returned completed surveys between February and April 2001. Of the 56 respondents, 18 SEAs report having aligned their terminology completely with the 12 federal disability terms. Seven other states report using all but one of the exact federal disability terms. One of these seven states replaces "specific learning disabilities" with the similar term "learning disability." One state explicitly uses the term "visual impairment including blindness" in place of the federal category for "visual impairment," and another state does not use the category "multiple disabilities." In the four others, an alternate term is used in place of "mental retardation" and/or "emotional disturbance." Results from the survey indicate SEAs are most likely to use exact federal disability terms for the two newest disability categories required for federal reporting, autism and traumatic brain injury. SEAs were least likely to use the exact federal disability term "emotional disturbance." Although 36 SEAs use the exact term, 20 use alternate terms such as emotional disability, behaviorally disordered, and emotional/behavioral disability. (CR)
