How Has the Pandemic Affected Students with Disabilities? An Update on the Evidence: Fall 2022
Stelitano, Laura; Ekin, Sumeyra; Morando Rhim, Lauren
Center on Reinventing Public Education
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, emerging evidence provides a deeper understanding of the pandemic's impact on the more than 8 million young people with disabilities. This includes youth who receive special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or who qualify under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) in the U.S. For this latest special-education paper, the authors reviewed more than 100 research reports, peer-reviewed journal articles, news stories, and summaries of legal cases. They also reviewed the U.S. Department of Education's website and state websites. The evidence collected includes quantitative and qualitative research findings, themes from news stories, outcomes of lawsuits, and policy guidance. Together, this evidence shows that the ongoing challenges of the pandemic compounded and further complicated the educational experiences of students with disabilities. This report is the second installment of an updated set of papers that assess the best available evidence on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected America's students. [For the previous report, "How Has the Pandemic Affected Students with Disabilities? A Review of the Evidence to Date," see ED615189.]
