What are “learning and behavioral disorders”?
In Kentucky, the term “LBD” is the name of a
teaching certificate for serving students with any
of the following disabilities:
- specific learning disabilities (LD),
- emotional/behavioral disabilities (EBD),
- mild mental/cognitive disabilities (MMD),
- developmental delays (a non-categorical term
that may be used with children under age 9
years), and
- low incidence disabilities based on student
need (e.g., if the student has mild to moderate
disabilities and is typically in an academic
course of study for receiving a regular high
school diploma). These disabilities may include
autism, traumatic brain injury (TBI), orthopedic
impairments (physical disabilities), other
health impairments, and multiple disabilities.
