In terms of ASD placements, what percentage corresponds to resource room settings?

The choice indicating 18% corresponds to the percentage of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who typically receive services in resource room settings. Resource room placements are designed to provide specialized instruction and support for students who may experience challenges in a standard classroom environment, while still enabling them to participate in some general education classes.

This percentage reflects the trend in special education where a notable portion of students with ASD benefit from these smaller, focused educational settings. Resource rooms offer a tailored educational experience, providing individualized support that can address specific learning needs, social skills training, and behavioral interventions aligned with the unique characteristics of ASD.

The other percentages reflect different placement scenarios, like self-contained classrooms or inclusive settings, but the 18% figure is significant in illustrating the balance between integration within general education and the need for specialized support for many students with autism. This context is important in understanding how to effectively serve students with ASD in various educational environments.
