Extractions: Congressman Denny Rehberg, 516 Cannon House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515 N E W S March 6, 2003 Rehberg Calls for Full Funding of Special Ed Program WASHINGTON, DC - Montanas Congressman Denny Rehberg (R) today told the House Budget Committee the federal government is not keeping its promise to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In just five school years the estimated federal shortfall in IDEA funding has cost Montana $92.7 million, Rehberg told the panel. "This year alone Montana will be shortchanged at least $25.5 million in IDEA funding. That means $25.5 million less for new teachers, computers, books, and Internet access." The 1976 IDEA program directs the federal government to contribute 40% of the costs associated with meeting the needs of disabled children directly to the states and local districts that provide the educational services. To date, local school districts across America are still waiting for the federal government to provide its promised share, Rehberg said. Each time I visit a school in Montana, educators stress the desperate need to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Rehberg said.

Extractions: Hearing discussing the recommendations of the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education Testimony was heard from the Commission's Chair (Terry Branstad, former Governor of Iowa), Douglas Gill (Chair, Finance Task Force and Washington State Director of Special Education), and Douglas Huntt (Chair, Transition Task Force). The three guiding themes of the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education final report are: 1. Focusing on results, not on process 3. Considering children with disabilities as general education children first (The full Report is available at http://www.ed.gov/inits/commissionsboards/whspecialeducation/reports/pcesefinalreport.pdf Senators were critical of the omission of mandatory full funding as a Report recommendation. The Commissioners emphasized that their recommendations were aimed at shifting the perception of special education funding away from "underfunded mandates to reimbursement for results." Commissioner Gill stated that "reimbursement of past expenses will continue past performance," and that past performance was not acceptable (based on overidentification, misidentification and graduation rates). Reform and funding are intimately linked in the Report (just as with No Child Left Behind).

Extractions: Internet: NRCGSH@VAXE.ISC.RIT.EDU Computer telecommunication has been used at the Rochester Institute of Technology, (RIT), to reduce barriers to learning for the physically handicapped. I am a totally blind professor of history, and I have been using electronic mail and computer conferencing to increase my contact with students. The National Technical Institute for the Deaf, (NTID), is on our campus, and this technology has enabled me to communicate with hearing impaired students without a human intermediary. In those classes taught using a computer conference instead of a face-to-face class, the deaf students, a blind professor and non-impaired students all participate on an equal basis. Those persons who became deaf as adults and who have good English skills but weak sign language skills have found this format extremely useful. One young woman said that she was able to participate fully in acollege class for the first time. Electronic mail and journaling with the use of a computer have both been found to be valuable ways to assist students with language deficits to increase their skills. Adele Friedman has found this a very useful tool with hearing impaired students at NTID. Students who are embarrassed to share and communicate in a public class often participate more openly and are less inhibited using a computer.

Extractions: Recent Covers of Yellowstone Valley Woman January/February 2002-Kathy Kelker KATHY KELKER: A Teacher's Journey By Ann Kooistra-Manning Katharin "Kathy" Kelker knew at an early age that she wanted to be a teacher. "I don't think I ever seriously considered any other option," she said. Little did she know that the twists and turns of personal experience and diverse work environments would guide her career from her first position as a high school English teacher to becoming an advocate for children with disabilities and a college professor who prepares new teachers for the complexities of the modern classroom. Kathy has received national recognition for her work as an educator and as the co-founder and long-time director of Parents, Let's Unite for Kids (PLUK), a statewide organization dedicated to empowering people with special needs. She is currently an assistant professor in the College of Education at Montana State University-Billings, where she shares her expertise in special education with future educators. THE JOY OF TEACHING Kathy is articulate and confident, and she can't conceal her enthusiasm for teaching. Her eyes light up and she strains forward in her chair as she recalls students who have touched her in some way or describes an aspect of her work that she finds particularly exciting.
Extractions: WASHINGTON One in six parents of disabled children has considered suing or has threatened to sue the child's school district to get services, a poll shows. The poll, being released Monday by the advocacy group Public Agenda, suggests parents feel that while teachers care and school personnel are qualified to deal with disabilities, school systems don't offer special help to children unless families insist. Ann Duffett, an author of the study, said parents have a different perspective from policy-makers.
