Abstract

This study investigates the prevalence of postsecondary academic match for students enrolled in special education at the secondary education level by using nationally-representative data. This study examines alternative academic match scenarios – including undermatch, overmatch, and match – and addresses the gap in research specific to college match and students in special education.
