Data, including NAEP scores, graduation rates and college completion rates indicate that despite their potential, students with SLD are often not succeeding. Special schools can play an important role and should be part of a solution, and can partner with public schools in a number of ways to improve outcomes for all students. 

In this virtual panel, Dr. Douglas Fuchs, Emeritus Nicholas Hobbs Chair of Special Education and Human Development at Vanderbilt University, will provide an overview of the current state of special education for students with SLD.

We will then hear from four panelists who practice in schools focused on facilitating success for students with learning and disabilities. Next, discussant Dr. Elizabeth Talbot, Professor and Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development in the School of Education at William and Mary, will offer summary remarks on practices and policy implications. The event will conclude with time for questions from the audience.

This panel will be recorded, and the recording will be made available to LDA Members.
