Examining early childhood American Indian/Alaska Native disproportionate representation in special education

Description:

American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) students have been disproportionality represented in special education. This position paper is intended to relay information of the disproportionality in early childhood special education for AI/AN students. Studies have concluded that AI/AN early childhood students are overrepresented and other studies reveal AI/AN students are underrepresented in special education. This position paper seeks to document the differences between these studies and share possible solutions to the disproportionality of AI/AN students. There is a dire need for more research to be conducted in the disproportionality of early childhood special education in American Indian/Alaska Native students. (author abstract)
