Wave 1 Wave 2 Overview

Beyond changes in their school environments, the growth and development that children experience with each passing year creates changes that can affect children physically, emotionally, and cognitively, with repercussions in all aspects of their lives. The time period between the first and second Waves of data collection for SEELS provides an opportunity to examine short-term changes in many aspects of the lives of students with disabilities that were first described in Wave 1. This report describes these changes over time by comparing information reported in Wave 2 with the "baseline" information reported in Wave 1.
