Promising Practices for Working with Youth with Disabilities

The most recent statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics (2024) reports that 15% of individuals, aged 3-21, are served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This means that 15% of youth are diagnosed with having a disability that has the potential to affect their success academically and in the workforce. As a youth development organization, 4-H programs should anticipate at least 15% of their population, if not more, to have a diagnosed disability. As youth development professionals, we are tasked with meeting the needs of youth with disabilities through proactive (planning before the program or activity) and reactive (addressing needs after the program or activity) planning strategies.
