SCSC administers the Region 9 Project for Low Incidence, providing assistance to school districts throughout south central Minnesota.
The Minnesota Low Incidence Projects are designed to assist school districts across the state in fulfilling federal requirements in the areas of implementation of the IDEA, professional development and insuring the availability of high quality staff in the low incidence areas of Special Education. Technical assistance is offered as a regular function of the project.
Low Incidence refers to disability areas that occur rarely or in low numbers. In Minnesota there are seven disability categories that are considered low incidence: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), DeafBlindness (DB), Physically Impaired (PI),Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Vision Impairment (VI).
