Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness Who Have Disabilities: Federal Provisions to Increase Access and Success. McKinney-Vento Law into Practice Brief Series
National Center for Homeless Education
Each year, over 1.2 million children and youth identified as homeless in the nation's schools experience educational disruption caused by not having a safe and stable place to live. Many students who have disabilities and are experiencing homelessness face additional challenges for educational progress that require close coordination between homeless and special education staff in State and local education agencies. This brief: (1) reviews the educational rights of children and youth guaranteed in the McKinney-Vento Act, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; (2) addresses frequently raised issues regarding the needs and rights of students experiencing homelessness who have disabilities; and (3) provides information to improve the educational access and success of students experiencing homelessness who have disabilities.
