U.S. DOE Study
The United States Department of Education did a study in April 2009 that appears to show that the special education services and programs provided to disabled kids aren’t having the desired outcome.
The study is called: “The Post-High School Outcomes of Youth With Disabilities up to 4 Years After High School A Report From the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2)Executive Summary, April 2009” and can be found at http://ies.ed.gov/ncser/pdf/20093017.pdf.
