This report provides a description of federal education programs for children with disabilities and the important needs that are met by funding each one. It considers the budgetary impact on each program if Congress appropriates the funding level recommended for Fiscal Year (FY) 1995 and funding recommendations of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC). A budget overview notes that the Clinton Administration has requested an overall increase in the Department of Education program budget of 7 percent, for a total of $26.1 billion. A table shows FY 1994 appropriations, FY 1995 authorizations, FY 1995 administration requests, and CEC recommendations for various federal programs. A chart shows changes from 1976 to 1991 in the distribution of specific disabilities for children ages 6-21. Specific programs are then described, including programs for gifted and talented children, programs provided under Chapter 1 of the Hawkins-Stafford School Improvement Amendments of 1988, and programs authorized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
