The National Center for Special Education in Charter Schools (NCSECS), a non-profit organization formed by national experts on special education in charter schools, has published a thorough analysis of the status of students with disabilities in charter schools.  

Key Trends in Special Education in Charter Schools: A Secondary Analysis of the Civil Rights Data Collection 2011-2012, examines the status of special needs students in charter schools vs. traditional public schools.  The analysis addresses the status of enrollment, service provision, disciple, and specialized charter schools.  According to Dr. Lauren Morando Rhim, Executive Director, and Co-Founder,  the intent of the study "was to provide federal and state policy leaders as well as practitioners and researchers with a solid foundation for a more productive examination of the issues in an effort to drive changes that could discernable benefit students with disabilities."

According to their website, NCSECS was launched in 2013 to "raise awareness, improve access, create dynamic learning opportunities and address barriers that may impede charter schools' enrolling and effectively educating students with disabilities."
