Document Summary
Majority of students receiving special education services are male, disabilities are generally more common in males (almost 2x more common- about 70% of students receiving special education are male) Largest group receiving special education services are students with sld. Most disabilities are mild to moderate- severe/profound is pretty rare. Most of the positive changes have occurred over the last 35-40 years. Students with disabilities are more like their typically developing peers than different. Special education is a set of services that wrap around the student * Special education is not just dummying down the curriculum, rather it is providing supports and accommodations so the student with a disability can access the regular curriculum and be successful = use strengths to address the needs. Every child has some strength that you can work with to progress. Most of the definitions of disability are deficit-based, and do not address the ability - focus on what they can do and what they need.
