On March 29, 2007, the Committee on Education and the Workforce held a hearing in Washington, D.C., entitled, "How NCLB Affects Students with Disabilities." Specifically, this hearing was held to determine how the No Child Left Behind Act helps, hurts, or keeps about the same, what has been done for children with disabilities. The Subcommittee heard recommendations on how to improve both special and general education programs, the need to prepare all teachers to work with all students, and how to improve No Child Left Behind to ensure that it accounts for the complexities that states, school districts, and schools must address in educating and assessing students with disabilities.

Davis, a Representative in Congress from the State of California; Hon. Luis G.
