Factors Impacting Academic Performance in Special Education

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of school resources on student academic performance, focusing on specialized personnel, access to assistive technology, and the quality of the physical environment. Results show a generally positive evaluation of school resources, with high ratings for the availability of special education teachers and speech and language therapists, indicating sufficient support. Access to assistive technology is also rated positively, particularly for device availability, though maintenance and currency of technology received slightly lower ratings. The physical environment, including well-equipped classrooms, is rated positively, though accessibility for students with physical disabilities was rated lower. However, academic performance analysis in English, Mathematics, and Science revealed complex relationships. In English and Science, the quality of the physical environment showed a significant negative relationship with performance, while the availability of specialized personnel and access to assistive technology had no significant impact. In Mathematics, none of the evaluated factors showed a significant relationship with performance. These findings suggest that while the physical environment may influence outcomes in certain subjects, specialized personnel and assistive technology do not strongly impact academic performance. Further research is needed to identify other factors influencing student success.
