Recent Changes in the Proportion of Students Identified with a Disability in Australian Schools. Data Brief
Dempsey, Ian
Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, v29 n2 p172-175 Jun 2004
This paper identifies and discusses recent increases in the percentage of students with a disability identified in Australian schools. At the moment, there is an unprecedented level of international debate about the nature of disability which is impacting on the identification of disability (see Donoghue, 2003; Greenspan & Switzky, 2003). In association with this debate, Australia has seen several imperatives that have focused attention on the identification of students with a disability in educational settings in the past decade.
