Youth with Disabilities in the Foster Care System: Barriers to Success and Proposed Policy Solutions

I'm sure Sekai would have something to say about this, too. I could not even read the report yet. Just reading the abstract on Ebsco made my heart beat a little erratically and my eyes begin to well up. Abstract:
The article reports on the call of the U.S. National Council on Disability for foster care staff to undergo cross-training for special education. [italics added] The council has argued in a report that students with disabilities and children in foster care face many of the same challenges, like both have low rates of graduation from high school and admission to college.
