Minority Representation in Special Education: 5-Year Trends from 2016–2020
Objectives
The persistent disproportionate representation of minority students in special education, either over- or underrepresented, spans decades. This study aims to explore minority representation in special education between 2016 and 2020.
Methods
Growth models were utilized to analyze 5-year data from the Data Accountability Center, U.S. Census Bureau, and the Census Bureau’s Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates program.
Results
Alaskan Native and American Indian students were overrepresented in special education for both school-age and early childhood groups. Higher risk ratios were observed in developmental delays for Alaskan Native and American Indian students, in emotional disturbances and intellectual disabilities for African Americans, and autism for Asian students. Additionally, state poverty significantly affected Hispanic and Latino representation in 2016, revealing a persistent pattern over time.
Conclusions
The persistence of overrepresentation among certain minority groups in special education necessitates the implementation of proactive evidence-based instructional and behavioral interventions (e.g., Multi-tiered Systems of Support; personnel training) to address chronic and poor school outcomes for minorities and in turn reduce referrals and eligibility in special education.

Advances in Neurodevelopmental Disorders publishes high-quality research in the broad area of neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan. Study participants may include individuals with:Intellectual and developmental disabilitiesGlobal developmental delayCommunication disordersLanguage disordersSpeech sound disordersChildhood-onset fluency disorders (e.g., stuttering)Social (e.g., pragmatic) communication disordersUnspecified communication disordersAutism spectrum disorder (ASD)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specified and unspecifiedSpecific learning disordersMotor disordersDevelopmental coordination disordersStereotypic movement disorderTic disorders, specified and unspecifiedOther neurodevelopmental disorders, specified and unspecifiedPapers may also include studies of participants with neurodegenerative disorders that lead to a decline in intellectual functioning, including Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Huntington’s disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. The journal includes empirical, theoretical and review papers on a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including but not limited to: diagnosis; incidence and prevalence; and educational, pharmacological, behavioral and cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and psychosocial interventions across the life span. Animal models of basic research that inform the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders are also welcomed. The journal is multidisciplinary and multi-theoretical, and encourages research from multiple specialties in the social sciences using quantitative and mixed-method research methodologies.
