Abstract:	Estimates of children with disabilities can be difficult to measure in national surveys. For example, the estimated number of children with disabilities as reported by parents from the National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) has been consistently higher in each data collection than data collected by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) through state administrative records. However, reliable estimates of school enrollment, receipt of special education and related services, and academic performance of children with disabilities are critical for effective school budgeting, staffing, and program planning at national, state, and local levels. The goal of this research is to examine parent-reported measures of children's disabilities from comparable surveys, compare estimates generated from these data, and explore the extent to which these data differ from administrative records. Toward this end, we compare survey estimates of children with disabilities in kindergarten, first, and third grades in two federally sponsored surveys.
