There are 8 schools in the USA with the word impaired in the name.

The word "impaired" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to historical and educational efforts to create specialized institutions for students with specific needs. Historically, as part of the movement toward inclusive education, schools were often established to serve children with physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments, such as those who are visually or hearing impaired. The terminology reflected the language of the time and was intended to clearly indicate the school's specialized mission to provide resources, support, and tailored instruction for these students. Geographically, such naming conventions helped families identify appropriate educational settings within their communities. Over time, as awareness of disability and inclusive language has grown, some schools have moved toward updated names, but many still retain the original terminology for historical continuity.
