services for school children who are physically handicapped,
mentally retarded, or emotionally disturbed. The proposed
definition by the House of Representatives Interim Committee
on Language Disorders in Children deals with a group of
children of normal intelligence who have no handicapping
conditions but are merely deficient in the acquisition
of language skills and are unable to progress normally
with their peer group in language skills.
In view of the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that those children having a language disability such as
defined in the definition by the Interim Committee on Lan-
guage Disorders in Children, do not meet the statutory
definition of "exceptional children" set forth in paragraph
(a) of Subsection (4) of Section 1 of Article 2922-13,
and there can be no allocation of "exceptional children"
teacher units for special education of children who have
merely a language disability of the nature set forth in
the proposed definition by the Interim Committee on Lan-
guage Disorders in Children.
S UMMA R Y
Children having only a language skill
deficiency, such as set forth in the defini-
tion proposed by the Interim Committee on
Language Disorders in Children, do not meet.
the statutory definition of "exceptional
children" set forth in paragraph (a) of Sub-
section (4) of Section I of Article 2922-13,
Vernon's Civil Statutes, and there can be no
allocation of "exceptional children" teacher
units for special education of children with
such a language disability.
Yours very truly,
WAGGONER CARR
