In this study, published recently in the journal Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, Laura Bray, assistant professor of education, explored how educators wrote, used and conceptualized the role of IEPs for students with
specific learning disabilities within inclusive general education settings.
The addition of 7.6 private schools that accept McKay funding
within five miles of a public school, which is the average, reduces the probability that a student will be identified as having a
specific learning disability by 15 percent.
