Disproportionality in Special Education: A Synthesis of International Research and Trends (PDF)
This research study synthesizes literature on special education disproportionality in international contexts and identifies trends across student groups and countries, including the ways in which scholars have examined this topic. Results show that studies focused mainly on the overrepresentation of ethnic minority, immigrant, and Indigenous populations in European or English-speaking nations.
