In 2023, AAoM conducted the Special Education Experience (SEE) Survey. This online survey received nearly 900 responses from families and students about their experience within the special education system. The findings align with our broader mission: building and bridging power toward systemic change in Michigan’s education system for students with disabilities.

The Autism Alliance of Michigan's Special Education Experience (SEE) Survey uncovered the experiences with special education services and supports in schools. Findings highlighted that these experiences reflected challenges connected to understanding disabilities. Parents also expressed that they want schools to hold higher expectations for students with disabilities and that the goals outlined in special education program plans were not challenging or appropriate for their children–with less than half of respondents (41%) with autistic children feeling that the goals outlined in their IEP were challenging and appropriate.
