What I assume is true about students with disabilities in a low-income public school.


I want to learn more about children with learning disabilites enrolled in public schools that are financially disadvantaged. This topic interests me because I was attended a private school that offered extra attention to every student, esspecially with disabilities. I am curious how these schools keep success in the classroom. 
I’ve learned that public schools in low-income neighborhoods, do not get the necessary financial assistance needed to educate their students and which causes lower graduation rates.
My sister was an afterschool progam leader in a Madison, WI located in a low-income neighborhood and she explained a lot information to me. I think it will be esspecially difficult for me to find information specifically on students with disabilities in low funded school because I would think there would be enough faculty to afford barely enough to meet the needs of an average student majority, students with disabilities may go unnoticed.

  1. Hi Mary,

    Thank you for your post about students with disabilities. While your topic would make for an interesting research project, it does not follow the guidelines for the IM 204 semester research project. Please read the questions for this post again, as well as what the yellow semester research project handout says about what this post should contain (and guidelines for the assignment), and repost. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

    Sincerely,
    Professor Wexelbaum
