All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
More than one out of every eight students in America is classified as having a disability under the provisions of IDEA (National Center for Education Statistics, 2010).

These outcome variables were related to student performance from practica and portfolio ratings, using the …
