Which category includes conditions such as clubfoot, TB, cerebral palsy, or amputations?

• A. Developmental Delay
• B. Other Health Impairment
• C. Orthopedically Impaired
• D. Speech Impaired

Answer: (C)

Orthopedic impairment covers physical disabilities that affect movement and dexterity, stemming from bones, joints, or limb issues. Clubfoot is a congenital deformity of the foot, cerebral palsy affects muscle tone and control, and amputations change how a student can use their limbs. Tuberculosis can involve bones or joints or lead to mobility limitations, which is why these kinds of conditions are classified under orthopedically impaired. This category focuses on the physical aspects that impact school activities and often calls for related supports like assistive devices, seating arrangements, or therapy services.
