The representation of minorities in special education is a multifaceted issue. Black males are disproportional in their placement in special education classes at a higher rate then others. The factors that contribute to this reach outside the school into the communities and society, along with the education system.
Teacher education and community education are a must to remedy the situation. Diversity training go a long way in understanding cultural , community, and other factors such as socioeconomic status utilized in the understanding of why the disproportional representation takes place.
