Extractions: The Medford School District has developed a broad continuum of services tailored to the individual characteristics of our disabled student population. Our program is noted for its open and honest communication with parents of disabled children, to enlist them as genuine partners in the special education process. This necessitates a focus on the individual educational needs of the students, and not simply a process of channeling students into existing classrooms. and The Medford School District currently has an enrollment of some 12,400 students. Of this, about 1,350 (just short of 11%) are qualified as disabled. This includes the whole range of student disabilities from communication disorders through severe, multiple handicaps. Ten Site-Based classrooms are distributed across the District to provide a self-contained classroom experience for those students who require it. Two of these classrooms are Transition Kindergarten classrooms that give an assist to moderately disabled students for two years as they enter the school system. Two elementary Site-Based classrooms are dedicated to work primarily with serious behavioral issues. There are two Site-Based classrooms and a Behavior Disability classroom at the middle school level, and a Modified Diploma program at the high school level. The Modified Diploma program concentrates not only on the academic skills that lead to a diploma, but on vocational and independent living skills that address crucial needs for these students and their families.

People with disabilities are victims of violent crime more often than people in the general population. However, their cases are prosecuted 14 times less often. Crime-victim specialists believe the new program helped in 22 cases that would not have been prosecuted otherwise. Each case led to a conviction. (San Jose Mercury News, 3/18/03). Maryland Identifying and educating gifted students with learning disabilities Massachusetts Governor proposes closing six residential centers for people with MR In the midst of a state budget crisis, Governor Romney has proposed closing Massachusetts six residential campuses that house about 1,200 people with mental retardation. For the most part, current residents of the centers would be transferred to community-based settings. Some advocates support the proposal, citing the increased mobility and independence community living can bring. However, others are staunchly against the governors proposal, arguing some people with MR have needs that cannot be accommodated in a group home setting. Moreover, some people are concerned the government has not invested enough money into developing group homes to accommodate the large influx of newcomers. (The Boston Globe, 3/20/03).
