"Supporting Students with Disabilities: The Growing Role of Special Education Programs. Across the United States, a staggering seven million K-12 students are living with disabilities, from learning differences to physical and mental health challenges. To meet the unique needs of these students, schools are increasingly turning to special education programs, which provide tailored support and accommodations to help them succeed academically and personally. As the demand for inclusive education continues to rise, educators and policymakers are working together to develop and refine these programs, ensuring that every student has access to the resources and support they need to thrive."
Special education programs help schools serve more than seven million K-12 students with disabilities nationwide.
