The IDRC assists the Indiana Department of Education in defining and identifying disproportionality in special education and provides technical assistance to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in order to increase equity in special education throughout the state. The Center analyzes state data to help the Indiana Department of Education identify the extent of disproportionality in special education and in racial/ethnic categories across the state. The Center also works with LEAs in the state on issues of disproportionality, provides the latest information on the topic, and works collaboratively with LEAs in developing plans to address disparities in school discipline and special education identification and placement.
