How – and why – are certain children deemed to be Special Education students(2)?
Answer #1: Per the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, School Districts(3) must evaluate each student who appears to have one or more of thirteen (13) disabilities(4) (Note: The request for such an evaluation may come from the student’s parent(s) – or from any School District staff member who interacts with the student). If this evaluation indicates that a student does, in fact, have any of those disabilities, then the student must be classified as a Special Education student(5).
