The school was founded in 1831 as The New York Institution for the Blind as one of the first schools in the United States to provide an educational program for children who were blind or visually impaired. Early in the twentieth century, the name was changed to The New York Institute for the Education of the Blind to emphasize the educational character of the school. A pictorial history of the school and a major collection of disability links called the Blindness Resource Center are available at this site. Today, our

Extractions: The Association for the Help of Retarded Children, Nassau County Chapter (AHRC) was founded by a small group of parents of retarded children and their concerned friends who had a dream and reached for it. That dream was not to waste the lives of their loved ones with mental retardation, or to ostracize them from the communities in which they lived. Our goal is to provide a lifetime of caring, for infants and children to teens, adults and senior citizens, for all people with developmental disabilities.

Extractions: Does Your Child Have Special Needs? Integrated Classes May Be the Answer If your child has special needs, chances are good that he or she spends most of the time in a segregated special education class. More than half the children receiving special education services in New York City - 54% are taught in classes in which they are separated from their peers for most of the day. That's more than twice the national rate of 24%. A new report says many of these children do better academically if they are integrated in regular classes - as long as they still receive the extra help they need. The report, Learning Together: Lessons in Inclusive Education in New York City released by a coalition of New York City advocacy groups, says disabled children in integrated classes are three times more likely to pass standardized tests than those in segregated settings. If you think your child may benefit from a so-called "inclusion class" (in which children with special needs are integrated in general education classes), be sure to look at this 25-page report by the Least Restrictive Environment Coalition, which highlights three elementary schools and two high schools that offer model inclusion classes.

Extractions: Alert! Rich Disabled Pupils Go to Private Schools at Public Expense (April 18, 2002) On April 17 2002, The New York Times published "Rich Disabled Pupils Go to Private Schools at Public Expense." The article described testimony by Chancellor Harold Levy and Francine Goldstein before the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education. Unfortunately, their testimony was not accurate. URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/17/education/17LEVY.html The purpose of this Alert is twofold. 1. To set the record straight. 2. To teach you how to find answers to your questions about the law. As we go through the reauthorization process for IDEA, you are likely to read inaccurate statements from school officials. You need to know how to check these statements for accuracy. In this article, we will walk you through the fact-checking process. Reimbursement Issues Mr. Levy testified about reimbursing parents for private services and schools: "In more than half the cases . . . applicants have never sent their children to public schools, nor do they ever intend to."

Extractions: By Marie Holmes Within the evolving field of special education, the ramifications of President Bushs No Child Left Behind legislation are felt acutely. When President Ford signed into law the Education for Handicapped Children bill (94-142), establishing that children with disabilities were entitled to the same free, public education as all other children, only 33 states were providing such services. This legislation was not a result of the Ford administrations good intentions, explained educator James Fogarty to a group of teachers and other education professionals at a Phi Delta Kappa lecture program held recently at Pace University.

Extractions: RELEASE DATE: July 16, 1999 A groundbreaking ceremony was held July 16 for the $8.5 million construction of a new Wyndham Lawn Campus School building at New Directions Youth and Family Services in Lockport, Niagara County. The Dormitory Authority sold bonds in 1998 to fund the project, which includes the renovation of the physical education building. New Directions Youth and Family Services Inc., a private, non-profit institution, was borne from the merger this year of Wyndham Lawn Home for Children and Randolph Children's Home. New Directions provides residential and community-based services to troubled children and their families in Western New York. They are one of the schools licensed by the State Education Department to provide special educational services for developmentally disabled students under age 21 who are emotionally disturbed, mentally ill, have learning disabilities, physical handicaps, behavioral problems, autism or any combination thereof. The Dormitory Authority was authorized by the State Legislature to provide bond financing for construction projects for Chapter 853 Schools in 1991. Debt service is paid from the schools' tuition payments.
