Some Important Numbers
• For infants and toddlers ages birth through 2, the number receiving services under Part C of
IDEA has nearly doubled, from 177,281 in 1995 to 321,894 in 2007.
![Page 5: “I can do that!”. Developing Self-determination Skills in Young Children.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f62cf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• For children ages 3–5, the number receiving services under Part B of IDEA has increased by nearly 23 percent, from 548,588 in 1995 to 710,371 in 2007.

• 70% of HS students graduate on time in US in 2010.
• Of the 30% who dropout:
**73% are students with a disability
![Page 7: “I can do that!”. Developing Self-determination Skills in Young Children.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d215503460f949f62cf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• HS dropouts earn approximately $10K less than HS graduates
**IF that 30% graduated, it would add $400 billion to the national economy!
