Access and Barriers to Educational Services for Canadian Children with Disabilities

Summary (PDF, 44 KB) Full Report (PDF, 1.4 MB)

Health Analysis and Measurement Group, Statistics Canada

Background

There have been a number of educational reforms for children and youth with disabilities since the early 1980s. This report describes policy changes in American and Canadian (national and provincial) aimed at examining access and barriers to educational services for Canadian children. It then examines the trends for a nationally representative sample of children with disabilities.

Methodology

Our analytic strategy consists of two parts:

• A descriptive analysis examining national and provincial trends and examining if the location of residence makes a difference for access to educational services for children with disabilities.
• Regression analyses to examine the associations of a) the type of condition and b) the “complexity” of the conditions, on educational access and barriers.
