Needs Assessment of financial assistance programs for the disabled, there is and culturally diversenature of new mexico can cause of services to youth with special health care http://www.fape.org/idea/How_it_works/needs.html
Extractions: May 24, 2000 As little as two decades ago, few children with severe illnesses or disabilities survived to adulthood. Today almost 90% of children with chronic conditions live to age 21 or beyond. Consequently, increasing numbers of youth with special health care needs and their families must face the challenges of adolescence and the transition from childhood to adulthood. Although medical technology has made great strides in the last generation, less progress has been made in helping youth with special health care needs achieve their life goals in terms of a career and independence. In 1998, it was estimated that the majority of the 300,000 students with severe disabilities who left high school that year were not able to live independently. Between 50-70% were placed in group homes and between 30-45% lived with relatives. Only 12% of Americans aged 16-64 with severe disabilities were employed. With the recognition that more children with special health care needs are reaching adulthood and that few achieve their life goals comes the realization that comprehensive lifespan transition planning is necessary. The following are the hallmarks of effective transition planning for individuals:

Magalotti then joined forces with two of his fellow instructors from the Mahoning County program for persons with mental and developmental disabilities and started Troop 3. With instructor Dave Virtue serving as its first Scoutmaster, the troop welcomed young men with mental, and also, in some cases, physical disabilities. And it wasn't long before Troop 3 began to have an impact on the lives of its Scouts, its leaders, and the northeastern Ohio communities it touched.

ELLs With Special Needs -- ERIC/CLL RGOs acquisition of ESL in learningdisabled students reports on outcomes of the new Mexicoprogram Federal mandates concerning special education are summarized, and http://www.cal.org/ericcll/faqs/rgos/special.html
Extractions: ERIC Documents Several factors influence the identification of English language learners with special needs. Limited prior schooling, lack of proficiency in English, native language background, cultural expectations, and personal or family concerns can all influence a learners academic progress. It can be difficult to distinguish between a learning disability and learning problems caused by a variety of other factors. English language learners whose difficulties in school stem from these factors may be misidentified as having a learning disability. In other cases, English language learners who have a learning disability may not be properly identified on the assumption that their learning problems stem from linguistic and cultural differences. To further complicate matters, special needs may not have been identified in the learner's native language but may become evident as the student is learning English. Traditional identification instruments designed for English speakers may not be valid with English language learners. Identification of English language learners with special needs should include consideration of the following factors:
