Last week, the Center for Education Policy released Has Progress Been Made for Raising the Achievement of Students with Disabilities?, which found that while students with disabilities have made progress on fourth grade reading and math assessments between 2005-06 and 2007-2008 school years, there is still a large achievement gap between students with disabilities and their non-disabled peers. The report also concluded that state policies and the implementation of federal policies regarding the assessment of students with disabilities vary widely and complicate data collection and analysis.
