[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 President’s 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.

This story ran on nwitimes.com on Sunday, March 27, 2005 12:21 AM CST Special education teachers: Supply, demand not always balanced BY OLIVIA CLARKE oclarke@nwitimes.com Jessica Neal wants to be the type of special education teacher her sister didn't always have. "She came out of high school not knowing how to read," Neal said. "Nobody took the time to help her. That made me mad. I wish I could have done something. Maybe I could help someone else." When Neal graduates in June from Lowell Senior High School she plans to attend Purdue University Calumet and become a special education teacher. A good special education teacher can mean everything to a student's future, yet some educators say not enough special ed teachers exist to satisfy demands. Growing groups of students with certain disabilities, high burnout rates for teachers and changes in requirements can create this shortage. "Some teachers just aren't right for the job," Neal said. "Some schools don't even have a special education program. What are they supposed to do?" In 2003, 14.7 percent of the total Illinois public school enrollment, ages 6 to 21, received special education services. This percentage is above the national percentage of 11.6 percent, according to a 2003 Illinois State Board of Education annual state report.

ABA via Insurance Assistive Technology Attorney Fees Basic Definitions ... Other Resources Special Education Law Dorene Philpot is an Indianapolis attorney who represents children with special needs and their parents all over the state of Indiana. Often this means going to a due process hearing in order to force the schools to comply with the federal and state protections afforded children with special needs. Parents frequently do not know what their children's rights are in terms of the education and services offered by the schools, and they frequently feel intimidated by school staffs during case conference committee meetings and feel that they have little input into the child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP). These problems can have serious impact and their children's progress can be hampered by that lack of knowledge. "What we have is what you get" is NOT what the federal and state laws provide. The schools are required, by law, to devise an INDIVIDUALIZED education program for a child, based on that child's individual needs (not on the school's staffing or budget problems) that is reasonably calculated to confer MEANINGFUL educational benefit.
