Judge, Ellen Kay, Rebekah Budziszews, Patrick Gilgert, Gisele Dailey, Titus Jeffrey, Xenia Murillo, Karen Frantz-Fry, Margaret Mernah, Madeline Henry, Cynthia Turcotte, and Michelle Norman who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:


The number of students in special education has been steadily increasing since data collection first began, in 1976. In the last decade, the percentage of students in special education in schools has increased to almost 15 percent or about 7.5 million students. Of all the disability classifications provided under the nation’s special education federal law (IDEA), which disability classification has the highest prevalence rate? (about 32 percent of all students in special education, or about 2.3 million students have this disability classification on their IEP).


Answer: SPECIFIC LEARNING DISABILITY

This week's trivia question: 


According to research done on the entertainment industry by the Inevitable Foundation, audiences have expressed “dissatisfaction” with disability representation in the entertainment industry. The “Audiences Are Waiting for Hollywood to Greenlight Disability” report, which surveyed over 1,000 people about the current state of disability and mental health representation on screen, found that what percentage of audiences are “unsatisfied with current representations of disability and mental health in film and TV”?
