A perceptual disability includes one or more of the following range of difficulties:
for educational purposes, a student whose visual acuity is not sufficient for the student to participate in everyday educational activities without the accommodation of instructional and related materials in multiple formats;
an inability to hold or manipulate printed materials; or
any other impairment (including but not limited to dyslexia and brain injury) such that the student cannot use print publications other than in formats not available from the publisher.
