Abstract
No Child Left Behind (NCBL) will affect many aspects of education for a student with a disability. The standardized tests are not taking into consideration the special needs of these students, and due to schools not meeting the national standards, they are losing a great deal of funding that could be used to acquire more assistance and electronic equipment that would benefit students with disabilities. Most importantly, NCBL might also compromise the individualized education that students with disabilities need and deserve. When students with disabilities lives are changed, so are the teacher's who educate them. Teachers are pressured to find ways to educate their students with disabilities so that when they are tested they are also spending a great deal of time writing Individualized Education Plans (IEP's) for their students with disabilites and are attempting to assist these students with limited money and resources.
