\1\Includes students served under Chapter I and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), formerly the Education of the
Handicapped Act.
\2\Includes preschool children 3-5 years and 0-5 years served under Chapter I and IDEA, respectively. \3\Prior to 1987-88, these students were included in the counts by handicapping condition. Beginning in 1987-88, states were no longer required to report preschool handicapped students (0-5 years) by handicapping condition. \4\Less than .05 percent. \5\Based on the enrollment in public schools, kindergarten through 12th grade, including a relatively small number of prekindergarten students. \6\Less than .005 percent. ---Data not available. NOTE.--Counts are based on reports from the 50 states and District of Columbia only (i.e., figures from U.S. territories are not included). Increases since 1987-88 are due in part to new legislation enacted fall 1986, which mandates public school special education services for all handicapped children ages 3 through 5. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Because of rounding, details may not add to totals.
