Students in special education have a wide variety of grades in one classroom.
By Blake Pappas
The cost of education for a child with disabilities can be double the amount needed for a child without disabilities. ?Many students with special needs require multiple services such as classroom aides, counseling, specialized equipment, or access to health professionals during the day. Special education programs are often underfunded, leading to poor outcomes for students and repercussions for schools and communities. Unfortunately, many school districts today are seeing budget cuts, and these cuts exacerbate the challenges faced by special education programs and the students they serve.
One way that many school districts attempt to cut costs in special education is by placing special needs students in mainstream classrooms. ?While this can be an effective tool to reduce spending, the effect on learning outcomes for special needs students can be negative and counterproductive.
The Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, which became federal law in 1990, protects disabled students and provides for their equal access to education. ?It is important for special education teachers to know how to develop accurate plans for their students so they can gain the equal access guaranteed under federal law. ?By effectively developing these plans, called Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), they can help to protect their programs and students from some of the negative effects of budget cuts.
