Description

Students in special education classrooms or disability-specific schools are systematically excluded from school-based health surveys. This presentation will: 1) share Delaware data on the patterns of exclusion; 2) report on pilot testing of previously excluded populations using accommodations including an electronic version of the survey with ALS video; 3) share a model accommodation protocol and 4) provide recommendations for states working toward a more inclusive public health surveillance program.
