October 14th, 2010
U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, today asked the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to examine the effectiveness of federal programs that exist to help students with disabilities transition from high school to college or the workforce. Recent studies show that about only half of students with disabilities graduate from high school with a regular diploma. In 2009, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities was 14.5 percent.
