The extent to which school students continue to receive special education services over time is largely unknown because longitudinal studies are rare in this area. The present study examined a large Australian longitudinal database to track the status of children who received special education support in 2006 and whether they continued to access such support over a 4-year period. Nearly two thirds of the children receiving additional assistance in 2006 did not receive such assistance 4 years later. There were substantial variations in the principal reason for providing special education services to students over this period, and the relative academic performance of the students who received special education support across the 4 years substantially declined. The findings have ramifications for the way we consider changes in the needs of young children as they progress through the primary school system.

Over the last decade, there has been a rapidly declining trend in the prevalence of students with learning disabilities in South Korea. In 2019, only 1.5% of students receiving special education support were identified as having learning disabilities. This study reports on three current issues related to learning disabilities to provide a greater understanding of this declining trend in South Korea: the ongoing debate on the definition of students with learning disabilities, the continuing disagreement on the identification criteria for students with learning disabilities, and the public’s limited understanding of learning disabilities. Suggestions for future directions are also discussed.
