Next week, the National Center for Learning Disabilities releases a comprehensive report on No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and its impact on students who receive special education in our nation's schools -- almost half of whom have learning disabilities (LD). The new report provides a compelling look at how several NCLB requirements have affected this important and often controversial student group. A companion study on State Test Accommodations Policies will provide an overview of the variance and validity of these policies. Both reports provide recommendations for the reauthorization of NCLB, now underway in the U.S. Congress.

Join the study authors for an overview of these important studies plus a first-hand report from a school district official followed by Q+A.
