The updated endorsements are: 

  1. Intellectual disability - Adaptive. The endorsement allows an educator to provide support services to students who require “High Incidence” support services.    
  2. Intellectual disability - Functional. The endorsement allows an educator to provide support services to a student who requires “Low Incidence” support services. 
  3. Intellectual disability. The endorsement allows an educator to provide support services to students who require “High Incidence” and/or “Low Incidence” support services.                                 
  4. Supv intellectual disability. The endorsement allows one to serve in a building level supervisor/coordinator position for special education. 


Licenses have been updated to reflect this new language for all educators who hold active licenses (not expired) that contained the previous endorsement language.
