1 Percentage of students with disabilities is based on the total enrollment in public
schools, prekindergarten through 12th grade.
NOTE: Prior to October 1994, children and youth with disabilities were served under Chapter 1 of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as well as under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part B.
Data reported in this table for 1990-91 include children ages 0-21 served under Chapter 1. U.S. totals for 2007-08 and 2008-09
do not include data for Vermont.

U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, selected years, 1992 through 2006, and Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) database, retrieved September 14, 2011, fromhttp://www.ideadata.org/PartBdata.asp. National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), "State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary
Education," 2009-10. (This table was prepared September 2011.)
Question: What percentage of students with disabilities are educated in regular classrooms?
Response: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), enacted in
1975, mandates that children and youth ages 3–21 with disabilities be provided a free and appropriate public school
education.
In fall 2009, some 95 percent of 6- to 21-year-old
students with disabilities were served in regular schools; 3 percent were served in a separate school for students with disabilities;
1 percent were placed in regular private schools by their parents; and less than 1 percent each were served in one of the
following environments: in a separate residential facility, homebound or in a hospital, or in a correctional facility.
