19 | delayed or restricted.
| ||||||
20 | (4) A determination that the disability originated | ||||||
21 | before the age of
18 years.
| ||||||
22 | A determination of severe and multiple impairments shall be | ||||||
23 | based upon a
comprehensive, documented assessment with an | ||||||
24 | evaluation by a licensed
clinical psychologist or | ||||||
25 | psychiatrist.
| ||||||
26 | If the examiner is a licensed clinical psychologist, |
| |||||||

12 | with cerebral
palsy or epilepsy who, according to the | ||||||
13 | eligibility criteria listed below,
has multiple impairments | ||||||
14 | which are only physical and sensory. In such a
case, a | ||||||
15 | physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches may

16 | serve as the examiner.
| ||||||
17 | (m) "Twenty-four-hour-a-day supervision" means | ||||||
