According to the Ohio Department of Education, there are consistent gaps in academic performance and graduation rates of students with disabilities compared to their nondisabled peers:

  • Students with disabilities are almost three times less likely to enter kindergarten demonstrating readiness.
  • Fewer than one-third of Ohio's students with disabilities are proficient on the third-grade English language arts assessment.
  • On the state English language arts assessment, 28.9% of students with disabilities scored proficient or better as compared to 64.6% for all students.
  • Ohio's students with disabilities are more likely to experience exclusionary discipline practices than their peers who do not have disabilities.

In addition, students with disabilities are two to three times more likely to experience bullying.

Join us as we consider how health can partner with education to improve these outcomes.
