| Description: |
Test
scores on state assessments for students with disabilities have
increased in recent years, according to a study released in November
2009.
The Washington-based Center on Education Policy examined state
mathematics and reading test results from the 2005-06 school year to the
2007-08 school year. Those state tests are used to determine whether
schools and school districts are making adequate yearly progress under
the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
The study found that students with disabilities showed progress at
all levels of proficiency in 4th grade, where the median percentage
scoring at the basic level or above was 71 percent. Most states showed
more gains than declines among students with disabilities over the
three-year period.

http://www.2010disabilitysurveys.org/ |
| Description: |
Kessler
Foundation and the National Organization on Disability commissioned
Harris Interactive to conduct the 2010 Survey of Americans with
Disabilities. This marks the sixth effort over the past 24 years to
assess the quality of life of people with disabilities on a wide range
of critical dimensions, to measure the gaps between people with and
without disabilities on these indicators, and to track them over time.
The partners have established a series of 10 indicators of significant
life activities of Americans with disabilities. These indicators, which
have been tracked over the course of six surveys, are: employment,
income, education, health care, access to transportation, socializing,
going to restaurants, attendance at religious services, political
participation, and life satisfaction. This year, three new indicators
were added, which include: technology, access to mental health services,
and overall financial situation.
