IAMS motto is Lifes Better and we are trying to improve these
students lives. Why remember? Nearly all disabilities fall within
one of these 5 categories.

Almost all students with multiple disabilities, not just those who
are deaf-blind, have communication impairments.
Teachers often report these students are not sufficiently engaged
in communicative interactions during school, and this lack of
interaction is associated with multiple barriers, including lack of
teacher preparations, school contextual factors, lack of speechlnguage pathologists, and complexity of students
communication needs.
Many students use augmentative and alternative communication
(AAC) systems.

Apgar test screens health of newborns and can be the first sign
of impairment in newborns.
The test gives a score in one of 5 physical tests (skin color, heart rate,
respiratory effort, muscle tone, and reflex irritability when
stimulated.) at one minute and five minutes after birth. Newborns
receive a 0-2 for each test. When the overall Apgar test is less than
4, a more thorough evaluation is indicated.
Students with multiple disabilities are typically identified at birth or
in their early years, thus, physicians and not educators or
psychologists, usually make the initial diagnosis.

Students often use assistive technology, but only if the needs and
ability to use technology are fairly determined by a close
technology-related evaluation.
Assistive technology evaluations are multidisciplinary:
technology specialists, speech-language pathologists, orientation
and mobility specialists, and occupational and physical
therapists.
Together the professionals and family evaluate how the assistive
technology can enhance communication, seating/positioning,
and fine-motor skills.
