"Private school voucher programs have proliferated in the United States in the last decade. The number of students with disabilities in these programs has grown too..." Read more about how private school voucher programs affect students with disabilities: ow.ly/Pt4P50ZSp7M
Text reads: Council for exceptional children. The Hechinger Report. News Roundup. Parents of students with disabilities find private school vouchers come with a catch. “When Congress passed legislation last year establishing the nation’s first federal voucher program, it did not include language that disability rights groups had lobbied for that would have required private schools receiving federal funds to follow the law known as the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act.”
