The group with the highest
percentages of teachers that reported students with learning disabilities (reported by 88.9%) and
students with emotional/behavioral disabilities (reported by 79.6%) was middle school science
teachers. Not surprising, the group with the smallest percentages of educators reporting students
with learning disabilities (32.6%) and students with emotional/behavioral disabilities (9.7%) in its
classes was university science educators. The overall percentage of K–12 teachers who reported
having at least one student with a cognitive impairment was slightly over 25%. This number is
likely to increase as inclusion becomes more prevalent in our schools..
