From Kindergarten to Post-Secondary : Educational Journeys of British Columbia's Students with Disabilities and Learning Exceptionalities Lloyd, Jennifer E. V.; Baumbusch, Jennifer

Abstract

In this report, we describe the assorted educational “journeys” that over 68,000 British Columbian students with disabilities and learning exceptionalities take from school entry at Kindergarten through to high school completion, and beyond to public postsecondary education (if undertaken in British Columbia). In particular, we report students’ journeys for each of the 12 separate inclusive education (special needs) categories (“designations”) routinely tracked by the British Columbia (BC) Ministry of Education and Child Care (MECC). These designations refer to a range of disabilities and/or learning exceptionalities. We also report students’ journeys for a 13th “designation” (called Special Needs Ever), in which all 12 designations have been combined together.
