On October 21, 2022, Education Week published an articled entitled “There’s Little Data on the Pandemic’s Effect on Students With Disabilities. That’s a Big Problem”. The article explores the disruption in student learning that has occurred during the pandemic, noting the lack of clarity regarding the impact on students with disabilities. CLE research manager and lead author on the report, Laura Stelitano weighed in on the matter:
