Special Education: Estimates of Handicapped Indian Preschoolers and Sufficiency of Services

Abstract

This report discusses our estimates of (1) the number of handicapped Indian preschoolers on the 63 reservations with schools administered by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and (2) the sufficiency of services they receive. It responds to the requirement in Public Law 100-297 that we review BIA's program for educating these preschoolers. This legislation requires us to determine the number of these preschoolers aged 3 and 4 on (1) all 297 federally recognized Indian reservations and (2) the 63 reservations with BIA schools receiving BIA-funded services. Concerning the preschoolers on these 63 reservations, the act further requires us to determine (1) the sufficiency of the services these preschoolers receive and (2) the number who can be expected to attend BIA schools when they reach school age. This report elaborates on our April 28,1989, briefing to your offices.
