Extractions: Special Learning Needs Consultant Estimates of the percentage of U.S. school-age children with learning difficulties are as high as 30 percent. [1] In its 1987 report to Congress, the Interagency Committee on Learning Disabilities summarized a review of available learning disabilities prevalence research and concluded that: In the absence of good prevalence data, the Committee believes that 5 percent to 10 percent is a reasonable estimate of the percentage of persons affected by learning disabilities. It is clear the prevalence is somewhat higher among socio-economically disadvantaged populations. [2] In studies conducted by the Presidents Committee on Employment for People with Disabilities it was found that 10 to 14 percent of adults in the workplace have learning disabilities. [3] A survey of 567 adults with learning disabilities conducted by the association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities (now Learning Disabilities Association of America) found that 210 (37 percent) were unemployed.

Thousands of students with disabilities in the high school classes of 2006 and 2007 who meet all other graduation requirements will be allowed to graduate regardless of whether they pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) if Governor Schwarzenegger signs SB586. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Gloria Romero, was developed in response to an interim settlement of a long-standing class action lawsuit. The underlying lawsuit, Chapman v. California Department of Education, was originally brought in 2001 challenging the CAHSEE as an invalid and discriminatory exam as applied to students with disabilities. The plaintiffs, represented by Disability Rights Advocates, a non-profit law center in Oakland, are all students with disabilities throughout the State who must take the CAHSEE to receive a high school diploma. The defendants are the California Department of Education, the State Board of Education and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack OConnell.

Andrews f the opponents of school choice could have their way, the national debate over the use of public money to subsidize private schooling would turn on the subject of special education. With research demonstrating the overall success of school voucher programs in Milwaukee and Cleveland, and with the constitutional issue of public funding of religiously affiliated schools headed for resolution in a seemingly God-tolerant Supreme Court, defenders of the educational status quo have been reduced to fanning fears that government support of greater parental choice would transform public schools into dumping grounds for difficult-to-educate students. Rethinking Schools naacp Seventeenth Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act , over The argument that school choice must inevitably create special education ghettos would appear to have been strengthened by the recent adoption of market-based education reforms in New Zealand.

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n To Assure the Free Appropriate Public Education of all Children with Disabilities - 1995 Part B of IDEA and its implementing regulations require "that, to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities, including children in public and private institutions and other care facilities, should be educated with children who are not disabled; and that special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular educational environment occurs only when the nature and severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily" (34 CFR 300.550). The Part B regulations further specify that "a continuum of alternative placements is available to meet the needs of children with disabilities for special education and related services" (34 CFR 300.551). Each year, OSEP collects data from States and Outlying Areas on the number of students with disabilities served in each of six different educational environments: regular class, resource room, separate class, public or private separate school, public or private residential facility, and homebound/hospital placements. The data are collected by age group for students age 3 through 21 and by disability for students age 6 through 21. Regular class includes students who receive the majority of their education program in a regular classroom and receive special education and related services outside the regular classroom for less than 21 percent of the school day. It includes children placed in a regular class and receiving special education within the regular class, as well as children placed in a regular class and receiving special education outside the regular class.
