Critical to any comprehensive plan for addressing personnel shortages in the field of special education is the gathering of data on supply and demand at the state and local education agency (LEA) levels. Many states now conduct regular supply and demand studies in order to inform decisions regarding the recruitment, preparation and retention of personnel. This brief describes supply and demand studies conducted by Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma and Wisconsin, with a focus on what these studies tell about special education needs.
