1997 Ammendments To IDEA of a child's assistive technology needs in the The 1997 amendments state that childrenwith disabilities who schools are entitled to special education services http://www.wata.org/dyk/idea-97-ammendments.htm
Extractions: By Frances Pennell, J.D. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (Public Law 105-17), signed into law on June 4, 1997, include several changes that could significantly impact the provision of assistive technology to special education students in Washington State. Here are the highlights: Private School Students: The 1997 Amendments resolve an issue on which there have been conflicting court opinions the extent to which public schools must provide services to students with disabilities who attend private schools. The 1997 amendments state that children with disabilities who are placed by their parents in private schools are entitled to special education services but at a cost which is limited to a proportionate share of federal IDEA dollars. According to OSPI, if 10 of 100 district special education students attend private school, 10 percent of the district's federal funding should be directed to the private school students. This is likely to be a very small amount. Districts must still pay for general and special education services for children placed by the districts in private schools. Districts may also be obligated to pay "full freight" if a court or hearing officer finds that the District failed to make available a free and appropriate public education. Courts can reduce the amount of such reimbursement if they find that the parents failed to properly notify the district of their intent to transfer the child to a private school setting, failed to cooperate with the district's proposed evaluation of a child and/or for other reasons.

Extractions: In 2001-02, nearly 78,000 Oregon children and youth (birth-21) with disabilities received special education or other services. Of the 70,909 who were school-aged (5-21), 96 percent attended a regular public school where they participated in the general curriculum and received specially designed instruction and related services. Other students with disabilities received their education and special education services in a state-operated or state-supported program. The goal for these students is similar to that for all students: to receive an education that prepares them for living and working in an integrated community setting of their choice.

Extractions: The Division for Special Health Needs plans, implements and evaluates public health programs for individuals with disabilities or special needs throughout the life span. This role goes back to Title V of the Social Security Act, which established a system for states to provide care for children with special health care needs starting in 1935. In recent years, the division has relied on a combination of state funds and grants, as well as federal funds, to support its work. While children, especially younger children, have been the main focus of division programs in the past, the needs of young adults and adults with disabilities receive increasing attention in division activities today. The Mass Initiative for Youth with Disabilities and the Office on Health and Disability are the division's programs which focus on the health needs of teens, young adults and adults with disabilities. Programs run directly by the division generally develop or enhance services which are specifically targeted for individuals with disabilities or special needs. But it is also the division's role, as part of the Department's Bureau of Family and Community Health, to assure that all Department of Public Health primary care and preventive health programs are sensitive and responsive to the concerns of children and youth with special health care needs, their families, and adults with disabilities.

Legal Rights And Safeguards your child that addresses his or her unique needs. Under IDEA, special educationand related services are must meet the standards of the state Education Agency http://www.ncld.org/info/legal_rights.cfm
Extractions: What is IDEA? The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal law that provides for special education and related services for school-age children with disabilities. IDEA, which is based on the 1975 law, the Education of All Handicapped Children Act, was reauthorized in 1997. Final regulations were published in the Federal Register on March 12, 1999 . The IDEA ensures that a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) that addresses the individual needs of students with disabilities is available. The law also guarantees the rights of children and youth with disabilities and their parents. What is FAPE? You are entitled to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) for your child that addresses his or her unique needs. Under IDEA, special education and related services are provided at public expense and must meet the standards of the State Education Agency (SEA) and follow his or her IEP. What is LRE?

Extractions: March 19, 2001 letter (from Governor Hodges and Governor Taft) to Senator Hagel and Representatives... Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) The Issue The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was enacted in 1990 as amendments to the Education for All Handicapped Children Act. This law provides states with funding as well as mandates to provide a free and appropriate education and procedural safeguards for all children with disabilities without regard to costs incurred by states and localities. States have enacted their own statutes and regulations to comply with the federal laws and, in many cases, have gone beyond what is mandated by the federal government in providing services. State and federal laws and regulations, combined with the extensive and increasingly complex case law that has developed around this act, have made the practice of delivering services to students with disabilities complex and costly for states and communities. In addition, the federal government committed to provide funding for 40 percent of Part B services under IDEA. However, currently the federal government's contribution amounts to only 17 percent, and states are funding the balance to assist school districts in providing specials education and related services. State are currently reallocating existing state funds from other programs or committing new funds to ensure that students with disabilities are provided a "free and appropriate public education."

LII: Law About...Education Act of 1974 provides that no state shall deny a process for evaluating a child's specialneeds and for Act, parents and families of special education children http://www.law.cornell.edu/topics/education.html
Extractions: One government function is education, which is administered through the public school system by the department of education. The states, therefore, have primary responsibility for the maintenance and operation of public schools. The Federal Government also has an interest in education. The National Institute of Education was created to improve education in the United States. Each state is required by its state constitution to provide a school system whereby children may receive an education. State legislatures exercise power over schools in any manner consistent with the state's constitution. Many state legislatures delegate power over the school system to a state board of education. There is a strong concern with equality in education. Within states this leads to efforts to assure that each child no matter where he or she is situated receives an adequate education. The Equal Education Opportunities Act of 1974 provides that no state shall deny equal educational opportunity to an individual on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin.

In addition, the Governors have expressed their strong commitment to improving the academic performance of all students, including students with disabilities.
