This report is part of a five-report series on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) that examines the Every Student Succeeds Act's (ESSA's) amendments to IDEA, explains their likely impact on students with disabilities as ESSA implementation progresses, and provides recommendations. The National Council on Disability conducted research to gather relevant policy and qualitative and quantitative information. Researchers convened forums to examine parent and student perspectives and interviewed several local and state administrators and researchers. Four chapters focus on: (1) ESSA Provisions Specific to Students with Disabilities; (2) Other Policy Considerations; (3) Findings; and (4) Recommendations. The report finds that ESSA maintains key provisions to ensure the inclusion of students with disabilities in accountability systems. However, ESSA also affords states greater flexibility in how accountability systems are established. ESSA includes additional assessment provisions to utilize effectively accommodations for students with disabilities and additional provisions to better support students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. Finally, to improve opportunities for student learning, ESSA requires states to engage stakeholders in the state planning process and address school conditions for student learning and the overuse of harsh disciplinary tactics, including seclusion and restraint.
