Beginning in 1989-90, States were instructed to report students in regular class, resource room, and
separate class placements based on the percent of time they recieved services OUTSIDE the regular class
(<21, 21-60, and >60, respectively) instead of the percent of time they received special education.
Reporting on autism and traumatic brain injury was required under IDEA beginning in 1992-93 and was
