The Facts

Students with disabilities face many challenges in school and in life. Schools must help these children overcome their challenges to help them develop to their full potential and become productive members of society.
 
Here is a look at some key statistics:
  • There are nearly 7 million students with disabilities in U.S.  schools.
  • Specific learning disabilities are the most prevalent disabilities among school   aged children. They involve one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language. Dyslexia is a common example.
  • As many as 1.5 million Americans today are believed to have some form of autism.
  • Autism knows no racial, ethnic, or social boundaries. Family income, lifestyle and educational levels do not affect the chance of autism's occurrence.
  • Early intervention can result in a significant increase in IQ and language ability and a decrease in support services needed later in childhood. These services are long-term and costly.
