This school year the number of students enrolled in programs for disabilities went down in Indiana for the first time in years. Today we talk to reporters about how special education students and teachers have been impacted by the pandemic.
We also talk to someone who specializes in making things accessible for people with disabilities, and learn about efforts to help students transition out of high school.
Produced by Drew Daudelin.
