Are private schools failing special needs students?

This study says so.
The study also finds that 43 percent of private schools have students receiving special-education services available under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); and 44 percent use one of many programs outlined in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, or ESEA. The study basically shows that private schools are not utilizing funds for special education students.

Are you the parent of a special needs student who has had success in private schools, or have you experienced failures?

Does "not utilizing funds" = "failing the students"?
