New Study Reveals Impact of Vouchers on Students Diagnosed
as "Special-Ed"
 The
authors examine how special-education vouchers can limit the
number of misdiagnoses of struggling students and thus constrain
the costly artificial increase in special-education enrollments.
The report, "How
Special-Ed Vouchers Keep Kids From Being Mislabeled as Disabled,"
shows how Florida’s McKay voucher program serves as a model
program for other states as they seek to control costs and
reform special education to properly meet the needs of all
students.
PODCAST: Listen to a discussion
between Howard Husock and the authors as they discuss how
vouchers in special-education actually help reduce the financial
incentives that exist in most states to inaccurately place
low-achieving students in special-education.

reduces the likelihood that public schools will identify students
as disabled.
