Abstract
The overrepresentation of Black students in subjective disability categories, specifically emotional/behavioral disturbance (E/BD), intellectual disability (ID)—previously referred to as educable mentally retarded (EMR), and learning disability (LD), as well as in disciplinary practices such as suspension and expulsion, is an enduring challenge within the U.S. education system (Losen & Orfield, 2002). Despite extensive efforts by scholars, policymakers, and educators at various levels, the issue continues to persist.
