Background:
Although a large number of children in foster care in the United States are receiving special education services, little is known about their educational experiences.
Method:
This exploratory study used focus group research to look more closely at the complexity of the problems and needs that this population experiences with the special education system.
Results:
Five major procedural issues, relating to identification and placement in special education and provision of appropriate services, were identified.
Conclusion:
There is an urgent need to address the complex problems that children in foster care experience with the special education system. Recommendations are presented for closer collaboration between the child welfare and school systems, and for the training of educators, social workers, court personnel, and caregivers in special education rights and services.
