The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) represents the most significant federal education policy initiative in a generation. The perceptions of key personnel from four states and eight school districts on the opportunities and challenges of meeting Annual Yearly Progress requirements for students with disabilities reveal a complex situation. The success of students with disabilities on NCLB mandates is dependent on myriad factors, including access to the general education curriculum and the capacity of educators to teach diverse learners. Findings from a qualitative analysis, part of a larger 5-year mixed-method study, reveal that although participants recognized the challenges ahead, most seemed willing to tackle these challenges to the best of their abilities. Moreover, participants from both general and special education systems recognized that students with disabilities are a vital part of the current education reform.
