# Disability Codes

> Disability classification codes used in CoBHRM client records

## Overview

The Disability field is a **multi-select** field. When a client has multiple disabilities, all applicable codes are submitted as a semicolon-space delimited string (e.g., `02; 08; 13`).

**Field format:** `x(100)` -- semicolon-space delimited list of codes
**Valid values:** `01`-`16`

## Disability Codes

| Code | Disability |
| - | - |
| `01` | None |
| `02` | Developmental Disabilities |
| `03` | Cerebral Palsy |
| `04` | Seizure disorder/Epilepsy |
| `05` | Autism |
| `06` | Other neurological |
| `07` | Developmental delay |
| `08` | Deaf/Hearing Loss |
| `09` | Significant speech impairment/Non-verbal |
| `10` | Blind/Vision Loss |
| `11` | Non-ambulatory |
| `12` | Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) |
| `13` | Psychiatric |
| `14` | Down Syndrome |
| `15` | Attention Deficit Disorder |
| `16` | Learning disability |

> [!WARNING]
>
> If disability codes `08` (Deaf/Hearing Loss) or `10` (Blind/Vision Loss) are selected, the Communication Accommodations field on the Admission record becomes conditionally required.

## Multi-Select Format

When a client has multiple disabilities, separate codes with `; ` (semicolon and space):

```csv theme={null}
DISABILITY_CODES
02; 08; 13
```

## Validation Rules

1. Cannot be blank, space, null, or empty
2. Each code in the delimited list must match a value from the table above
3. If no disability applies, use `01`
4. If `01` (None) is selected, no other values can be selected
