1. Limited scope: The UPE program may not cover all aspects of a student's education, such as extracurricular activities, vocational training, or specialized support services.
2. Lack of resources: The UPE program may not have enough funding or staff to adequately support all students with disabilities, leading to gaps in services and support.
3. Inflexibility: The UPE program may not be able to accommodate the individual needs and preferences of each student with disabilities, leading to a one-size-fits-all approach that may not be effective for all students.
4. Stigmatization: Some students with disabilities may feel stigmatized or isolated by being placed in a separate UPE program, rather than being fully integrated into mainstream education.
5. Lack of accountability: There may be limited oversight and accountability for the UPE program, leading to inconsistencies in the quality of services provided to students with disabilities.
