Extractions: Disability Football Introduction The Irish Football Association (I.F.A.) recognises all facets of the community and how people regardless of age, gender, religion and ability enjoy football. Alongside youth and women's football, the development of football for people with Special Needs is an intregal part of the IFA's Development Strategy. The IFA epitomises this with the fact that it is the only sporting Governing Body in Northern Ireland with a full time Development Officer for people with disabilities. Too often those with disabilities are excluded from taking part in most sports and are rarely given opportunity to reach their potential. The IFA however, strives to provide every player with a disability the opportunity to participate and enjoy the beautiful game of football. New Appointment Announcing the appointment of a new soccer coach for the disabled, IFA General Secretary David Bowen stated that "one of the most significant aspects of the Associations new 5 year Development Plan is the wider provision for those with disabilities". A whole new dimension is being added to the successful groundwork which has been carried out during the past few years by the previous coach, Lee Carroll. The long term plan will provide, for the first time, widespread opportunities for those with a range of physical disabilities and sensory impairments.

Extractions: More than half the nation's middle school students and a quarter of its high school students are learning core academic subjects from teachers who lack certification in those subjects and did not major in them in college, a new federal survey shows. Includes the chart "Students' Exposure to Out-of-Field Teachers." By knitting together the thousands of data elements now collected by districts and states into a centralized computer bank, educators can look for patterns that could help improve both the management and productivity of schools. The first of an occasional series, "Data Driven." Arguing that they feel suffocated by increasing encroachments on their professional turf, teachers in several states turned to their legislatures this year in efforts to gain clout at the local bargaining table.

Extractions: If you are the parent of a child with physical or mental disabilities, you know you must take into account your child's psychological, educational and social needs when making a decision that will have a major impact on your family life. Whether or not to accept an expatriate assignment is certainly such a decision. Clearly, the choice should be made in the context of all family members' needs. Career and personal considerations for you and your spouse, as well as the educational and social needs of your other children will also come into play. But perhaps the central issue will be whether you can find appropriate support and educational services for your child in the assignment location. And, if not, are there alternatives that will enable you to accept the assignment and still meet the needs of your child?

Thoughts From Creak how the Bush plan is going to ensure that disabled kids one Here's my fear Thereligious private schools aren't equipped to handle special needs, so they http://www.creakyjoints.com/meetcreak/mc021.shtml
Extractions: A New Bush On The Landscape I'm getting cranky about the Bush education plan because I'm not hearing my name or my disease mentioned. In fact I'm not hearing anybody's disease mentioned. What I hear is that healthy dogs who are going to a school they don't like will have the option of going to a religious private school. Why only a religious private school? Because you can bet the fur on your back that snotty private schools are not going to take anybody's voucher without an accompanying check - healthy or not. I know Congress has to weigh in on this proposed legislation, and I know there are a lot of Congress people in the Senate and the House who care about us who are either going to school thanks to Federal legislation and subsidies that keep us in class despite our disabilities, or are families of special needs students. We care about our right to an education because we haven't always been able to exercise this right. The old dogs among us who had polio remember what it was like if you were disabled and in school before these laws went into effect, and it wasn't pretty. So that's why I get cranky when I don't hear how the Bush plan is going to ensure that disabled kids - one of whom feeds me regularly - get the same high-quality education that everyone else will get under his plan.

Extractions: Assistive Technology (AT) offers promise to many students with disabilities in their efforts to benefit from educational programs. Individual rights to AT devices and services for students derive from several major federal laws including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is probably the most important tool for students who need AT to maximize their educational opportunity-it is the only law tailored specifically to education. Because there is no federally-approved list of AT devices and services covered by the IDEA, AT can be as rudimentary as a calculator or as sophisticated as an auditory FM trainer for a student who is hearing impaired. The legislative history adding AT to the IDEA stresses how these devices and services can assist a student to be educated in the least restrictive, or most integrated, environment. The AT selected by the school must be appropriate to the needs of the student. Parents have a right to a formal, impartial review of the school's recommendations. Parents also have a right to an independent AT evaluation, at school expense, if the parent disagrees with the evaluation obtained by the school, and the school fails to show that its evaluations were appropriate.
Post-Crescent - Learnings Costly Curve Part of the solution may be labeling fewer students as disabled. alabama. specialeducationresearch is not rigorous or coordinated enough to support needs http://www.wisinfo.com/postcrescent/news/archive/local_4981028.shtml
Extractions: Post-Crescent staff writer Freedom made the commitment to ensure all children equal access to a public education well before state and federal governments made it law in the early 1970s, he said. Yet, in times of tight budgets there is no denying the mounting cost of educating everyone from the blind, deaf and medically fragile to children with cognitive and emotional disabilities and speech delays. While Congress considers reauthorizing the 28-year-old law now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), area school systems are picking up the bulk of the bill for an ever-growing number of special-education children. Two dozen Fox Valley school districts spent more than $62 million in district, state and federal dollars in the 2000-01 school year to educate 7,597 students with disabilities, according to the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. In the coming school year, Freedom, with a total enrollment of 1,590, will spend $1.9 million of its $12.2 million operational budget educating 215 children with disabilities.

Extractions: School finance was once the clear and protected domain of board members and superintendents. Schools received money from state and federal governments. In some cases school boards levied local property taxes; in others, districts received tax money from county or city government. With few limitations, and most of those on federal funds, the school board then decided how the money should be spent. State authority, however, is now eclipsing local authority in school finance matters. State legislatures and the judicial system are increasingly holding the state, not local districts, accountable for an equitable and high standard of education for all children. Along with this responsibility comes state control of money and educational resources. The intensification of state authority over resources and education quality threatens to clash with America's long-standing political preferences for local government responsiveness and citizen oversight. If the trend toward state centralized financial power continues, school boards could see themselves edged out of their roles as citizen overseers of their schools. This situation did not happen overnight, of course. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, local control over schools reigned supreme. State involvement was mostly limited to building construction. With the post-World War II civil rights movement, state and federal authority over schools grew. Intervention, in the forms of judicial decisions and legislative efforts, was deemed necessary to open up public schools for all students. Racially segregated schools were struck down by

Honolulu Star-Bulletin Hawaii News In 1993, parents of disabled children including Jennifer Felix child and welfare systemin alabama, another job are for children with special needs, he said. http://starbulletin.com/2002/08/07/news/story8.html
Extractions: ckua@starbulletin.com After nearly nine years of prodding Hawaii public schools to do more to help special-needs students, Ivor Groves leaves his job as federal monitor believing he has done all he can even as he concedes that much work remains. As one of his last acts on the job, Groves recommended the state remain under federal oversight as it works toward complying with the Felix consent decree mandating improved mental health and educational services. His resignation as the court-appointed monitor was revealed last month at the same time that a federal court was being advised to continue oversight over the schools' special-needs services through December 2003. In a subsequent interview with the Star-Bulletin, Groves expressed his frustrations with Hawaii politics and bureaucratic "sacred cows" as he worked to get the state out from under the court's oversight. "I think that one of the things that had been harder than I thought was the end. I thought it would actually get easier and easier and it didn't turn out that way," he said with a chuckle. In 1993, parents of disabled children including Jennifer Felix filed a class-action lawsuit alleging Hawaii was violating federal law because it failed to provide mental health, special education and other services to those children. U.S. District Judge David Ezra in 1994 ruled the state was in violation of the law. In a consent decree settling the lawsuit, the state agreed to create an expansive system to provide those services over the next six years.
