Extractions: Site Map October 7, 1999 The 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Act includes a variety of new rules governing individualized education plans that can help teachers, parents and students, according to Matthew Cohen, a Chicago special ed. attorney and president of Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder In addition to spelling out the supports a student will need to meet the IEP goals, the IEP now must also define the supplementary aids, services and/or supports the district will provide for school personnel to enable them to steer the student toward those goals. "Not only is that on the table [under the new law]," Cohen said, "but it's explicitly encouraged. That's a dramatic change in focus." Schools must provide some form of feedback to parents, to be spelled out in the IEP, at the same intervals schools provide progress reports, such as quarterly report cards, to parents of general ed. students. The student's placement must now consist of not only the student's educational schedule but also extracurricular and nonacademic activities with general ed. peers.

Extractions: Welcome to Special Education Basics! Dear Parents: We at I-CAN want to welcome you to our Special Education Basics page. If you have come to this page, then you are new to special education. Maybe you have a child that has just been identified with a disability. Maybe you are a friend or relative who wants more information so that you can help a child with a disability. In any case, this is the place to find out how to help that special child. Photo courtesy of Global Ministries, Inc. Finding out that you have a child with a disability can be difficult. You probably have been concerned about your child's learning for some time. But it is also possible that you did not know there were concerns until the school told you. It is normal to feel some pain and grief when finding out that your child has, or might have a disability. You might be upset and confused. You may ask, "Why is this happening to my child?" However, recognition means hope. There are some great special education programs with good teachers and staff. If your child has been recognized with a disability, then he or she can begin the road to getting special help. If not, we can help you with that too. You are the most important person in this whole process. You know and love your child more than anyone else could. The laws supporting special education recognize how important your role is. Schools want parents involved every step of the way. This can be scary too. Thinking about sitting down with school teachers, principals and special education experts can be frightening. You need to remember that everyone is there to help your child. You can learn the things you need to help your child in school. The staff is there to help you learn these things as well.

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE HELP CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT FOR DEAF AND HARD-OF-HEARING STUDENTS GRADES: 1-4 Have students write down their lunch order (if they have a choice) on laminated posters, using wipe-off markers/crayons. I use one poster with pictures and words to show all lunch choices and mark them with marker as to the feature of the day. The students write their name and lunch choice so that I can record them on our lunch order sheet. Kids keep track of weekly center work using their own manila folders with center checklists inside. On this list appear all the possible centers available that week, space for them to write their name and the date each center assignment was completed, stars to color in to rate the center (1-3, 1 being "yuck" and 3 being "my favorite!"). I then leave a space where I can make comments about student progress, attitude towards work and areas of need. These are sent home weekly to parents, so they are kept abreast of their child's progress. I use a wipe-off board to list daily schedules, including time, short phrases describing what's happening and pictures for my emergent readers. For my ADHD/behavior challenged kids, I refer to the schedule often and have them cross out what we've completed this helps them get through the day with less outbursts and to be able to complete work, knowing that recess will happen shortly!

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n FOR RELEASE Contact: Jim Bradshaw April 29, 1998 FLEXIBILITY PROVIDED TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN DEVELOPING SPECIAL ED PLANS; EFFECTIVE DATE FOR NEW IEP REQUIREMENTS CLARIFIED The U.S. Education Department announced today that it would permit school districts to phase in implementation of the new requirements for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for the nation's five million students with disabilities. Responding to concerns over the exact implementation date of new IEP requirements, the department said that existing IEPs would generally be permitted to be revised as they come up for normal annual review during the 1998-99 school year. "While we encourage schools to make every effort to implement these IEP improvements as quickly as possible, we believe this phase-in will permit schools to assure appropriate implementation of the new IEPs," said Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley. Every child served by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is required to have an IEP, which provides a blueprint for how the individual's education needs must be met. IEP teams usually consist of parents, administrators, the teacher and sometimes the student and outside experts. Judith Heumann, assistant secretary for special education and rehabilitative services, and Thomas Hehir, director of the Office of Special Education Programs, commended state and local special education directors who have already moved promptly to implement the new IEP provisions, along with all the other IDEA changes.
