Abstract	The Office of Special Education Services (OSES) in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) supports students with disabilities in gaining college, career readiness, and independent living skills through active engagement in grade-level curriculum. The purpose of special education is to minimize the impact of the students' disability, while maximizing opportunities for students to fully participate in their natural environment. An Admission, Review, and Dismissal/Individualized Education Program (ARD/IEP) committee makes decisions about students' eligibility for special education services. The purpose of this report is to address specific questions regarding identification, placement, and assessment among various groups of students with disabilities. This report also provides a comprehensive analysis of students with autism. The report will be organized as follows: Section I--Identification (1) Identification trends for African American, Hispanic, and Hispanic English Language Learners (ELLs) students in the special education program; and (2) Identification trends for students with dyslexia. Section II--Placement: Percent of students with disabilities placed in integrated instructional settings. Section III--Assessment: Percent of students identified with a learning disability or dyslexia administered the various versions of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). Section IV--Students with Autism: (1) Demographic profile of students with autism; and (2) Academic performance of students with autism. [For the report from the previous year, see ED596642.] (ERIC).
