On average, people with bachelor’s degrees earn about $765,000 more than people with only a highschool education over a lifetime (Education and Lifetime Earnings), proving that further education is instrumental in upward social mobility; however, students that struggle to receive proper primary and secondary education have much lower rates of pursuing higher education (The impacts of socioeconomic status and educational attainment on youth success, 2022). This is in part due to the fact that the schools that serve students in low-income school districts struggle to receive the same quality of education as those in high-income neighborhoods due to lack of school funding (Logan et al., 2012). Despite the fact that this topic has been widely discussed and studied, there is a lack of progress on supporting specifically special needs students in low-income areas. Action Research will be crucial for the project because it accomplishes two main goals: identifying the problem of the lack of progress in helping special needs students in low-income areas and proposing a way to solve the issue, creating a resource for teachers to better understand and help their students. Needs Assessment Research will be crucial since the project targets a certain demographic and requires understanding of their situation in order to create a personalized solution.
