Lesser Known Disorders

NASET is proud to provide a series devoted to lesser known disorders that you may encounter in special education. While not as prevalent as other disorders experienced by most special education teachers, you should be aware of these disorders in order to become more knowledgeable, and increase your ability to assist patents of children with these disorders if they should appear in your classroom or school. Each month we will present a list of 3 disorders that appear in the special education population. Some of these  disorders may contain subtypes which will also be presented. You will also notice that each disorder has a code. These codes represent the coding system for all disabilities and disorders listed in the Educator’s Diagnostic Manual (EDM) Wiley Publications.

This issue of NASET’s Lesser Known Disorders in Special Education series will provide a core of resources regarding rare disorders including: Organizations addressing rare disorders; Genetics and genetic disorders; The Human Genome project; Laws you may not have heard of; Orphan drugs; and the undiagnosed condition.
