Most studies
regarding students receiving special education services focus on students
who are able to receive these services within their local public
school district. Information about special education students
who receive their educational services in the private sector remains
scarce, even though the students educated in these settings, about
1% of all special education students nationwide, are often the most
disabled of all special education students.
In order to learn
more about this segment of the special
education population, NAPSEC, an association of 262 approved private
special education schools and agencies, conducted a study of the
students who exited from its member schools during the 2003-2004
academic year. Information about the educational settings to which
transfer students planned to move as well as the plans made by the
graduates/aged-out students who left a NAPSEC program was gathered.
NAPSEC has studied the exit plans of these students for five years.
The findings from the previous NAPSEC studies of the plans made by
the transfer and graduates/aged-out students in school years from
1999-2000 through 2003-2004 were compared.
The Outcomes Committee is currently doing a study on
the services provided by NAPSEC Member programs. The report is now
available.
