If a student has a disability of speech and any other exceptionality, provide the other exceptionality as their first disability, then speech subsequently.
Make sure to provide a student’s first disability of any other exceptionality than 09-Speech, if the student has speech and another exceptionality.
Do NOT provide 09 in both Disability1 and Disability2 if the only exceptionality is Speech.
