. For purposes of this chapter, a "disadvantaged minor" is a
minor who is potentially academically able but scholastically
underachieving, and must compensate for inability to profit from the
normal educational program. He is a minor who:
(a) Is three years of age or more, but under 18 years of age and
has not graduated from high school.
(b) Is potentially capable of successfully completing a regular
educational program leading to graduation from the elementary or
secondary school in which he is enrolled or required to be enrolled.
(c) Is, because of home and community environment, subject to such
language, cultural, economic, and like disadvantages as will make
improbable his completion of the regular program leading to
graduation without special efforts on the part of school authorities,
over, above, and, in addition to those involved in providing the
regular educational programs, directed to the positive stimulation of
his potential.
