Ill. Admin. Code tit. 89, § 755.50 - Admission of Students with Severe Physical Disabilities
a) The Superintendent of ICRE-R shall admit
students with severe physical disabilities if space is available. These
students shall have been diagnosed, by a physician licensed pursuant to the
Medical Practice Act of 1989 [225 ILCS 60 ], as severely disabled by cerebral
palsy, muscular dystrophy or spina bifida, or as having other severe physical
disabilities, e.g., traumatic brain injury or a progressive neurological
disorder, including those with secondary disabilities listed in 89 Ill. Adm.
Code
765.10(d).
The child must be 141/2 through 21, inclusive (i.e., through the day before the
student's 22nd birthday) and must reside in
Illinois. A student who becomes 22 during the school year may be allowed to
complete the semester. It shall have been determined through an application and
evaluation process that ICRE-R can provide an appropriate transition-based
program. Younger students may be accepted at ICRE-R if it has been determined
they can benefit from the ICRE-R program.
b) Students who have completed academic
requirements at their local high school, but are in need of further IEP-related
transition services (such as independent living and daily living skills,
medical management, orientation and mobility, personal assistant management,
etc.) may apply for admission to ICRE-R's transition program. Students found
eligible for the transition program may remain at ICRE-R until they are 22
years old. A student who becomes 22 during the school year may be allowed to
complete the semester.
