| Abstract: | There are a range of policies and systems to support learners who benefit from specialized or supplemental services and supports to promote their educational access and participation. Federal laws provide for programming and resources to support disabled and homeless students, respectively, but efforts can be siloed. This can be especially problematic for the many individuals who experience both disability and housing insecurity. This "Equity by Design" brief summarizes the policy, research, and applied dimensions of the intersections of student disability and homelessness. It includes recommendations for schools to improve access to services and supports for wellbeing and success. |
