Where Do Students with Disabilities Usually Receive Education Services? IDEA Factsheet: #3
Center for Public Education
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that schools assist students with disabilities to develop independent living skills and abilities essential to succeed in most of their life's endeavors. According to the law, each student with a disability must have an individualized education program (IEP), and the IEP must address transition services. Transition planning is required in the IEP for students by age 16; many students begin this planning at age 14 or earlier so that they have the time to build skills they will need as adults. This third factsheet in the IDEA Factsheet series discusses where students with disabilities usually receive education services. The coronavirus pandemic caused at least 123,000 public and private schools to close across the U.S. School closures affect more than 50 million students, including 7 million students ages 3-21 who receive special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). With prolonged school building closures, school districts are faced with more challenges about how to provide remote learning for students with disabilities while complying with civil rights and disability laws. By increasing awareness of where students with disabilities receive their instruction, school leaders can work with teachers, specialists, and parents to make evidence-based policies and develop effective strategies to support the learning of each student with a disability. Therefore, this factsheet reports the 2018-19 IDEA data from the U.S. Department of Education regarding the following topics: (1) Where do students ages 3-5 with different disabilities usually receive their education services? (2) Where do students ages 6-21 with different disabilities usually receive their education services? and (3) How do education environments for students with disabilities differ by states?
