Extractions: An Analysis of The Modified Census Based Special Education Program EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In May 1997, MAP recommended to the State of Wyoming a "Cost-Based Block Grant" for school finance. That recommendation has subsequently been adopted. As part of its proposal, MAP recommended that the State of Wyoming eventually move towards the adoption of a modified "census-based" funding mechanism for special education. This report attempts to initiate a discussion about how such a mechanism might be implemented. The May 1997 report noted that a specific design of a modified census-based funding mechanism for special education could not be developed until the State "implement[s] procedures that allow tracking special education specific costs to each handicapping condition. When these data are available, MAP recommends adoption of a modified, census based formula." These procedures are not yet in place, and data are not yet available by which specific historical special education costs in Wyoming can be determined. When these data are available, the Wyoming Department of Education will develop detailed proposals to implement the modified census-based recommendation. In the absence of these data, the present report makes a number of estimates and assumptions in order to illustrate what these detailed proposals might look like. The eventual proposals of the Department of Education, however, may look very different from the illustrations in this report, as they will be based on actual data.

Healthy Pet | Human/Animal Bond: Special Pets, Extraordinary Lives special needs can live very well with the help of their owners and some changes to their environments. As people learn how to care for their disabled mountains in wyoming. http://www.healthypet.com/Library/animal_bond-18.html
Extractions: As veterinary medicine advances, veterinarians are able to help an increasing number of animals with serious problems, and these animals are living longer than ever before. The number of animals with disabilities, chronic diseases, and other conditions that require special care is constantly rising, and these animals are beginning to find a special place in pet owners' hearts. "Animals are amazing in their ability to recover and adapt to life with a disability," says Dr. Robin Downing, a veterinarian in Windsor, Colorado. "Often it's much harder for us as people to get over our prejudices about special needs pets than it is for the animals to get over their disabilities." Less obvious needs Many animals with mental retardation or cognitive function problems can do quite well with a little extra attention from owners, though results can vary widely depending on the pet's condition. Dr. Downing's cat Kramer was born with cerebellar hypoplasiapart of his brain did not fully develop. He can think and reason as well as any other cat, but he has problems coordinating the movement of his legs, and he often stumbles and falls. When he does, he simply picks himself up again. "He was born this way," explains Dr. Downing, "and he's never known any other kind of life. He doesn't know he's different from any other cat." Kramer mostly lives his life as a normal cat, but he does require some protection from staircases and other precarious places where his falls could be dangerous.

Testimony -- Louise Green They never even dreamed of addressing the special needs of a attorney for Protectionand Advocacy in wyoming studied the of the school is for a disabled child. http://www.wata.org/dyk/meeting/testimony/green.htm
Extractions: Written Testimony for Education Louise Green Three years ago I became the advocate for Shawna, a young woman with severe disabilities. Shawna is 19 and has fetal drug and alcohol syndrome. She is developmentally delayed . Has a severe speech problem, visually impaired, and has limited mobility. Shawna has reached her learning capacity and is now basically learning life skills. She is in the 11th grade and doing quite well , but could be doing better with the use of technology. She has never been evaluated for technical assistance with the school district. Shawna would benefit a great deal from a speech enhancement device to improve her communication skills. I have also done advocacy for another young woman and followed her from high school to her work place. Dianne is now in her mid 20's. Dianne had cerebral palsy at birth and has severe disability. She is motion impaired, partially deaf and has a severe speech impediment. Dianne has very high IQ and a lot of people skills, qualities that make her employable. In her transition from high school she was not evaluated for technology that could improve her skills either. She was transitioned directly into a sheltered workshop for the developmentally disabled and she had been there for 4 years. Dianne has above average skills on the computer, but she has learned this on her own . Unlike Shawna , Dianne could have been a candidate for college. With the use of technology for hearing and speech she could be employed in a lot of fields instead of wasting away in a workshop making wooden boxes for $1.50 per hour.
