Fields validated

  • 23.17 Disability 2 Code

Multiple Disabilities is a primary eligibility category describing the combined condition. Disability 2, when used, identifies a distinct secondary category and must not repeat that umbrella code.

Eligibility and plan evidenceTeam determinations establish plan, disability, support, and setting.
Current PLAN versionReport the facts effective for this plan segment.
Valid combinationCodes must be both technically compatible and factually supported.

Concrete checks

  • Confirm whether a secondary disability is documented.
  • If none exists, determine whether 23.17 should be blank.
  • If one exists, report its supported distinct category.
  • Do not decompose or invent disabilities without the authorized determination.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the rejected version

    Capture SSID, LEA/SELPA, effective date, plan type, disability, support, setting, participation, and current PLAN history.

  2. 2

    Verify student and plan

    Confirm the record belongs to the intended student and governing IEP, IFSP, or ISP.

  3. 3

    Review authoritative determinations

    Use eligibility, plan, placement, participation, and program documentation—not assumptions based on services or classroom.

  4. 4

    Check the current matrix

    Validate each code individually, then verify the required combination and effective period.

  5. 5

    Correct the owning source

    Use the documented secondary category or leave Disability 2 blank when permitted. Change the primary category only when the governing eligibility record supports it. Repair crosswalks, defaults, or copied-forward values.

  6. 6

    Resubmit and reconcile

    Confirm acceptance and review connected SWDS, MEET, PLAN, SERV, and reporting results.
