49.042 - Pathways to Success for Students With Disabilities?

Sat, April 18, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott, Floor: Fifth Level, Denver/Houston

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Students with disabilities account for about 12 percent of all students enrolled in U. S public schools, and their academic achievement and post-school outcomes continue to lag behind that of their typically developing peers. To date, there is little rigorous empirical research on programs and policies proven effective for such students. In this session we bring together four papers that explore the effectiveness of existing policies and programs for promoting; on-time high school graduation, post-secondary enrollment, and exposure to STEM coursework. Taken together these papers shed light on the relative success of different academic programs or policies at ensuring minimally acceptable levels of human capital accumulation, for students who perhaps stand to benefit most from such efforts.
