Question

How does the Individual with Disabilities Education Act categorize Essential Tremor?

Answer 1

Essential Tremor is not one of the 14 IDEIA disabilities under current federal law (2004) qualifying one directly for special education services.  However, a variety of other neurological disorders, such as CP, may qualify under the category of Other Health Impaired if it is determined that the tremors significantly impact normal access to the curriculum without the additional supports that special education status may qualify a student for.
