Beginning in 1987 88, data on youth with disabilities served in correctional facilities were collected as

duplicated counts of data reported under one of the other environments. Prior to this time, a separate

unduplicated count was collected for students served in correctional facilities. These students are

excluded from the totals in the years prior to 1987 88.

Beginning in 1989 90, States were instructed to report students in regular class, resource room, and

separate class placements based on the percent of time they recieved services OUTSIDE the regular class

(<21, 21 60, and >60, respectively) instead of the percent of time they received special education.

Reporting on autism and traumatic brain injury was required under IDEA beginning in 1992 93 and was

optional in 1991 92.

Beginning in 1987 88, data on youth with disabilities served in correctional facilities were collected as

duplicated counts of data reported under one of the other environments. Prior to this time, a separate

unduplicated count was collected for students served in correctional facilities. These students are

excluded from the totals in the years prior to 1987 88.

Beginning in 1989 90, States were instructed to report students in regular class, resource room, and

separate class placements based on the percent of time they recieved services OUTSIDE the regular class

(<21, 21 60, and >60, respectively) instead of the percent of time they received special education.

Reporting on autism and traumatic brain injury was required under IDEA beginning in 1992 93 and was

optional in 1991 92.
