Join the conversation about special education

More than 7 million students nationwide are entitled to special education services in K-12 schools. Services can include access to assistive technology, small-group instruction, extra time to take tests and a range of therapies. In most states, graduation rates for students with disabilities are lower than their peers and the quality of the education they receive varies greatly. 

We’d like to learn more about how students with disabilities are learning in schools today and if they are getting the education they’re entitled to receive.

We need to hear from people who can help us ask the right questions as we report this story about special education. Fill out the form below to share your thoughts with our staff. We will contact you if we want to publish any part of your response to us.

Are there ways you believe students in special education aren’t being served? What’s missing in special education classrooms that you wish were being provided? Who do you think could fix the problem? Where is special education working well?

If you prefer, you can also email us directly at editor@hechingerreport.org. Contact staff writer Meredith Kolodner at kolodner@hechingerreport.org.

Help us keep doing that.
