- Does your Child have an Exceptionality?
 * Within this page I have supplied you, the parent/guardian, with information regarding the 13 exceptionalities.
 * These exceptionalities include:
 * **Autism **
 * **Blindness **
 * **Deafness **
 * **Emotional Disturbance **
 * **Hearing Impairment **
 * **Intellectual Disability **
 * **Multiple Disabilities **
 * **Orthopedic Impairment **
 * **Other Health Impaired **
 * **Specific Learning Disability **
 * **Speech or Language Impairment **
 * **Traumatic Brain Injury **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">Visual Impairment **
 * I have supplied you with credible sources to determine if your child has one of the exceptionalities. These sites will supply you with the main concern; signs of each exceptionality. It is important to know what signs to look for in your child to determine if there is a concern with an exceptionality. Parent/guardians must be as knowledgeable as a teacher or specialist on the exceptionalities, because you understand your own child above everyone else.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">- Common Core Resources
 * In May 2010, the West Virginia Department of Education approved the Common Core Standards in English and Mathematics. According to the Common Core Home Website, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Forty-five states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity have adopted the Common Core State Standards. I felt it was important for you as the parent to understand what these standards are requiring of your child and what the future holds with the adoption of the Common Core Standards.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In this page, you will find links to credible sites discussing what common core is, frequent questions asked, myths and facts about Common Core, and information provided by the West Virginia Department of Education on why we adopted Common Core Standards.
