Proportion of High School Graduates in Canada: Study

A new study from Statistics Canada shows the proportion of students who graduate from high school and what this looks like for students with and without special needs.

The study focused on seven categories of students with special needs: students with gifted status, autism spectrum disorder , behavioural needs or mental illness, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, physical needs and sensory needs. Students with learning disabilities and sensory needs were also less likely to graduate when compared with students without special needs, "but to a much lesser extent" at two and three per cent, respectively, the national agency found. Students with ASD are eight per cent less likely to graduate.

"Differences in socioeconomic characteristics explained 11 per cent of the gap between students with and without special needs."
