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: Heterogeneous Grouping Heterogeneous groupings refer to whole classes of students of varying intellectual ability or within classroom groupings where 2-5 students of varying abilities learn together. The grouping practice is associated with efforts to eliminate a "dumbed-down" curriculum and to allow all students the benefits of access to high-level instructional practices. Research points to positive effects on achievement, self-esteem, intergroup relations, and greater acceptance of mainstreamed students, (Slavin, 1991). The majority of the literature on heterogeneous grouping is not "middle level" specific but applies across grade levels.

Extractions: By Peggy A. Burns, Esq. Special needs transportation, governmental immunity and bus stop selection were among the legal issues which focused directly on school transportation in the past year. The cases reviewed here are mainly state court cases and hearing officer decisions. While that means they have no binding impact on the courts of other states, nevertheless, they can be extremely instructive as to how a court might consider a particular issue. In this issue we'll review 10 cases that made it to state courts. Next month's STN will have Part II of the annual Year in Review. Special Needs Transportation Here is a sampling of the special needs cases decided in 2000. The Office for Civil Rights considered a parent's complaint that students in a district's Moderate Intervention Programs (MIPS) were required to ride a school bus with students with severe behavioral and emotional problems. The complaint alleged that the MIPS students were denied FAPE because of the physical and verbal abuse to which they were subjected. OCR found for the parents because the district "failed to implement strategies to ensure the safety of MIPS students."

Extractions: POSTED: Jan. 4, 2003 9:52 p.m. Kendall is about to turn 3 years old. She lives in Rockaway, N.J., with her parents and 5-year-old brother. About six months ago, she was diagnosed with Rett syndrome, the same condition as afflicts my daughter Jessica. Her mom wrote us this week after our special section, Ethan's Story, was published. Looking through the eyes of 11-year-old Ethan Gray, the section was an in-depth report on how children with developmental disabilities and their families are cared for in North Carolina. Kendall's mom used words like "pilgrimage" and "journey" to describe the life her family now faces caring for their child. "Next month, we are going on a three-week family road trip. . Living life to the fullest. We don't like to waste time feeling sorry for our situation," she wrote. We published Ethan's Story as a way to help educate about such children in North Carolina and to shine a light on how the system works against them and their families. But we - even those of us who thought we were experts - learned a lot, too.

Extractions: Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor NEW YORK The United Charter School is designed to serve 1,200 children in a low-income neighborhood in Baton Rouge, La. It is widely supported by area residents, who are almost entirely African-American. It's in compliance with the Louisiana state charter law. STAYING FOCUSED: First-graders keep pencils moving at Philadelphia's Harambee Institute for Science and Technology. Public charter schools like this one provide an alternative to regular public schools, but some are starting to face charges that they don't meet federal civil rights rules. MELANIE STETSON FREEMAN - STAFF/FILE Yet the school's doors remain shut. The reason: United Charter runs afoul of a federal desegregation order requiring a racial balance in the parish's public schools. The US Department of Justice argues that the school will not attract enough white students. The case has created a situation some call absurd. "You won't find 10 people in this parish, black or white, who are in agreement with what's being done," says Jim Geiser, one of United's organizers. The United Charter imbroglio is just one facet of a larger problem of regulatory conflict. Charter schools are given great latitude on regulation in exchange for results. But the need to comply with often-costly federal civil rights requirements on racial balance and children with disabilities may prove to be a serious threat to the school-choice movement.

For example, need to show relationship of total ethnic make up of whole population (%) and relationship to the percentage within ethnic group to show true disproportionality? Yes. The Exceptional Childrens End-of-Year data analysis is presented to Exceptional Children Directors to show the ethnic composition of total school population and disability population. Although the data was available during the presentation, the technical difficulties prevented me from presenting additional information due to time limits. Question 2 (Teresa Dais) Please explain how 44 percent of White students receive certificates and 70 percent receive diplomas? The total population of White students seems to exceed 100%.

Extractions: Special Education Autism Home TEACCH Bibliography Prior to 1975, many school-age children with special needs faced either inadequate public school instruction or no instruction at all. Research and funding for special education programs were close to nonexistent. This era of education for the gifted ended when Congress passed P.L. 94-142, the Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (EAHCA), and opened the doors of opportunity for children with behavioral and learning disorders. EAHCA promised every disabled student a free public education geared toward his or her particular needs (Zigmond). It transformed public schools into diverse and flexible environments where 6.5 million students today receive special instruction funded by billions of government dollars (Schemo). Special education programs are constantly changing and growing. In fact, government funding for special education is expected to take its largest leap next year with a $1 billion increase (Schemo). Teachers in these government programs are earning high praise from parents, 72% being described as good or excellent in one study done this year (Paperwork). However, the programs successes are being hindered by a teacher shortage. The Building that houses TEACCH Preschool in Carrboro, North Carolina.

Extractions: Think about your interests, both in school and out of school what do you like, what don't you like? Think about what you've done in high school what do your high school experiences mean to you? Do you want your college experience to be the same, or different? How? In looking at colleges, you need to know as much as possible about who you are, and how you look at the world this is a very important area. The next few questions can help shape your search as well. If you've given any thought to what you'd like to study in college, or what part of the country (or the world) you'd like to study in, that can be helpful as well also, think about if you'd like to be in a big city, a small city, or nowhere near a city (or maybe that doesn't matter). To some people, the size of the college is important does that matter to you? In terms of scholarships and financial aid, Finaid.org has a great Web page devoted to financial aid for students with physical and learning disabilities. This page includes a list of publications you can get and other sources, including the HEATH Resource Center's publication "Financial Aid for Students with Disabilities"; to get that publication, call HEATH at 800.544.3284 (this number is voice/TTY enabled). Peterson's has a book called Scholarships, Grants, and Prizes that has a fairly good list on scholarships for students with disabilities (Nike and Nordstrom's each sponsor scholarships, for example). The book "Cash for College" recommends that you check with the rehabilitation agency in your state to find out about the resources that would be available from your state to support your efforts to go to college.

Extractions: by Jenifer Montsinger Many of the children in North Carolina's foster care system experience developmental and academic delays of one sort or another. Until the specific problem is identified and appropriate remedial services provided, most of these children have difficulty keeping up with their peers. The goal of North Carolina's system of special education is to provide the services that will make it possible for these children to succeed in school. For many foster parents, special education is an unknown and sometimes confusing world. We hope that the following glossary of terms will help clear up some of the confusion. Special Education: Specially designed instruction, at no cost to the parent, to meet the unique needs of the exceptional child. May include instruction provided in the classroom, in the home, in hospitals, and in residential facilities and other settings. Exceptional Children: Children with special needs, including those who are autistic, academically gifted, deaf-blind, hearing-impaired, mentally handicapped, multi-handicapped, orthopedically impaired, other health impaired, pregnant, behaviorally-emotionally handicapped, specific learning disabled, speech-language impaired, traumatic brain injured, and visually impaired.
