| | Series: | Quick Turn Around (QTA) | | Author: | Müller, Eve; Markowitz, Joy | | Publication Date: | 2005 | | Abstract: | More than 90,000 American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) students were served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Parts B and C during the 2002-2003 academic year. Although this represents only 1.36 percent of the total number of students served under IDEA, it is still a significant number of students. The purpose of this document is to provide background information on the education of AI/AN students, with a focus on AI/AN students with disabilities, and to describe state-level infrastructure related to these students. | | Publisher: | Project Forum | | Pages: | 9 | | Format: | PDF | | Target Age: | | | Intended Audience: | | | HTML Version: | | | PDF Version: | http://www.projectforum.org/docs/AI_AN.pdf |
