What is "Regional?"
Regional services are provided as part of Oregon’s Low-Incidence Regional Programs (LIRP).
Low-Incidence Disabilities represent less than 1% of the population. Regionally eligible disabilities include:
· Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
· Blind / Vision Impairment (BVI)
· Deaf / Hard of Hearing (D/HH)
· Deaf-Blind
· Orthopedic Impairment (OI)
· Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Because schools encounter these students infrequently, it may be challenging to offer the highly specialized training and support needed. The LIRP model offers high quality services to every part of the state, no matter how big, small, or remote the district. NWRESD is the regional contractor for Region 8, which includes Washington, Columbia, Clatsop, and Tillamook Counties. We partner with our component districts to provide specialists, training, and resources to students, educators, and families.
