According to the law, each student with a disability must have an individualized education program (IEP), and the IEP must address transition services. Transition planning is required in the IEP for students by age 16; many students begin this planning at age 14 or earlier so that they have the time to build skills they will need as adults.  \nE  \nvidence shows that IDEA students benefit from career and technical education (CTE) in terms of school completion and successful postsecondary life. Through CTE programs, students with disabilities can develop  \nindependent living skills, including personal skills, workplace skills, and people skills. In this Factsheet, we use five key indicators to illustrate how students with disabilities (i.e. IDEA students or students with special needs who have IEPs under the IDEA law) can benefit from CTE programs.  \n1. How many students with disabilities participate in CTE at the secondary level?  \nThe Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) emphasizes the development of employability skills of all students through CTE programs, including special populations, such as individuals with disabilities. Perkins V was signed into law on July 31, 2018, to amend the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act  \nof 2006 (Perkins IV). As the data we analyzed were collected prior to Perkins V, the definitions of the indicators in this Factsheet are from Perkins IV.  \nThe number of high school students who participated in CTE did not experience significant change from 2008 to 2018 (approximately 7.6 million). However, during the same 10 years:  \n• the number of IDEA students who enrolled in CTE atthe secondary level increased by 73 percent from less than 500,000 in 2008 to more than 800,000 in 2018 (Figure 1);  \n• among the CTE secondary students, the percentage of IDEA students increased from 1 to 8 percentage points in 20 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico (Table 1); and  \n• in 2017-18, more IDEA students participated in CTE in Texas, North Carolina and Georgia than other states (Figure 2) .  \nFACTSHEET \\#2  \nSTUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES IN CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE)  \nNumber of IDEA students inCTE  \nFigure 1.

What is the school completion rate among IDEA students who participated in CTE?  \nSchool completion refers to CTE students who earned a regular secondary school diploma, or earned a general education development (GED) credential as a state-recognized equivalent to a regular high school diploma (if offered by the state), or other state-recognized equivalent (including recognized alternative standards for individuals with disabili-  \nties), or earned a proficiency credential, certificate, or degree, in conjunction with a secondary school diploma (if offered by the state) . Nationwide, among students with disabilities who participated in CTE:  \n• from 2013 to 2018, over 90 percent completed highschool and earned a credential or certificate, and the gap between IDEA students and all CTE students was smaller than 5 percentage points (Figure 3);  \nFigure 3.
