Identification of Children and Youth With Disabilities

Presenting a national description of identification patterns across time and outcomes for children with disabilities, a new study reports that the percentage of children in each age group who were newly identified or continuing to receive early intervention and special education services increased from 1997 to 2005.

"Patterns in the Identification of and Outcomes for Children and Youth With Disabilities" uses existing data collected by the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies to present information on infants and toddlers (birth through age 2), preschool-age children (ages 3 through 5), and school-age children and youth (ages 6 through 21) served under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Released by the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, the purpose of the report is to provide background context for studies of program implementation and effectiveness occurring under the National Assessment of IDEA.
