NAPSEC...an indispensable resource for private special education leadership	NAPSEC Outcomes Report: Our Programs Produce Positive Results! See plans for exiting NAPSEC students below: Exit Study 2003-2004 Transfer Students Exit Study 2003-2004 Graduates/Aged-Out Students Class of 2000 Study 5 Year Alumni Follow-up 2006-2007 Intensity of Services Study Exit Study 2006-2007 Early Intervention, School & Adult Programs 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.
