Previous page Table of Contents Next page Issues in Providing Learning Support for Disabled Students Undertaking Fieldwork and Related Activities Examples of Good Practice in Higher Education Institutions Offering Field Classes Preparatory meetings, discussion, explanation and materials This will be a good time to review the general guidance provided by departments on the expected conduct and responsibilities of students and staff on field classes, and mutual expectations about behaviour. Sufficient time should be allowed to do this, and to assess any medical needs. The standard health and safety guidance should be explored, and any specific points about activities reviewed. The same general approach is applicable to the provision of documentation as to other areas of the curriculum, namely that it should be as accessible as possible, and made available in different formats if necessary. Excellent practical guidance on this is contained in HEFCE's ' Guidelines for Accessible Courseware ' (February 1999), which explains both the barriers to accessibility, and gives extensive practical advice on overcoming them, particularly through the use of technology. Bold typefaces, large print, or audio-based instructions are examples. Specific issues relating to different impairments are also contained in the other guides in this series . Detailed planning will then be underpinned by appropriate understanding. A general discussion of the extent to which it is reasonable to expect the student to make arrangements, and those matters which will be covered by the department or tutor's plans, will reduce any later misunderstandings. This should include the breakdown of costs between the two parties, general principles of which are covered by the provisions of the Disability Discrimination Act (1995).

Previous page Table of Contents Next page Issues in Providing Learning Support for Disabled Students Undertaking Fieldwork and Related Activities Examples of Good Practice in Higher Education Institutions Offering Field Classes Planning field experience, travel, sites, activities Having established the overall context within which a department operates its fieldwork requirements, specific arrangements will need to underpin the selection of field class destinations and sites, associated travel and activities. Students may need to be reminded to complete declarations of their particular needs. This will alert tutors to specific needs which will require accommodating somewhere, and the data from which will increasingly inform the general practice in considering the advantages and disadvantages of particular destinations, travel arrangements and sites. The general characteristics of the activities which will be undertaken on arrival will also need careful consideration. There are many examples of good practice in this area, and authoritative guides on meeting particular needs (Boxes 24 and 25). Box 24: The Open University approach to advising students on the availability of fieldwork options The Open University is one of the largest providers of courses in geography, earth and environmental sciences in the UK and routinely runs sets of field classes involving hundreds of distance-learning students. Since the majority of these are mature entrants who chose to participate in a degree course, the number of disabled students tends to be disproportionately high. As a consequence the University is experienced and has a positive and supportive approach to disability, and clear policies on inclusion. It has developed an extensive range of guidance notes for course tutors, and excellent documentation which goes out to students considering their attendance at a residential school. The University will also provide (and pay for) personal helpers, who may be family members if this is most appropriate (see

Home Tasks General situation Paradigm change ... References Models of Special Needs Education in Austria In the years after World War II special needs education more and more specialised and turned into something detached from mainstream teaching. In many ways special needs education was reduced to special needs schools with all the given social implications. However, discontent with this situation was growing, and it was especially parents associations in the late seventies and early eighties that effected a sharp change in thinking. New legislation was considered and later introduced, research was initiated, and experimenting with various models was encouraged (and paid for) by the government. Gruber and Petri (1989) give an account of the most successful models that were being tested throughout the country. 1. The Integrative Classroom 2. The Co-operative Classroom 3. Supportive Class ("Förderklasse") 4. Support Teacher The Integrative Classroom The central idea is very simple: children with disabilities are educated together with the other children in the same classroom. This model would avoid segregating children who do not meet the requirements of a general school and try to meet their special needs at the same time. The children will go to a school close to their homes, beside cognitive learning there will be emphasis on social learning, and the new class situation will be a challenge and, hopefully, encourage teachers to experiment with new forms of teaching and learning. It seems appropriate to have two class teachers and a reduced number of pupils (around 20).

It means that disabled students must be placed in regular schools or classrooms unless they would be unable to progress academically, even with extra supports. Special education students are entitled by law to receive support that matches their needs. In a regular classroom, for instance, students who have difficulty understanding spoken instructions may need to see diagrams. Likewise, students with reading disabilities may need help taking notes or extra time to take a test. Q. So where did the school boards go wrong? A. Q. What do schools need to do now? Q.

These schools are overwhelmed and often unable to provide students with the services they need. Conversely, selective high schools are admitting relatively few special needs children despite mandates from the district and federal court to do so. In fact, such schools are attracting top performing students away from neighborhood schools, which are then left with a concentration of special education students.

For and About Members Help for Parents Press Center News Releases ... Hot Topics April 14, 2002 On the Side of the Angels A disabled child, like every child, deserves the very best education Bob Chase President, NEA F or public school employees and their unions, the education of children with disabilities has long been a matter of principle. We strongly supported the historic 1975 federal law that directed public schools to provide a free, appropriate education to any child with special needs. And we did so with that happy sense of purpose people get when standing up for a principle. But like the parents of disabled children, public educators have learned a hard lesson in the years since then: it requires more than a big heart to implement a big-hearted law. It requires incredible vigilance, a jeweler's attention to details, and the persistence of a badger. The kids aren't the problem. Every person I've ever known who has taught disabled children has been energized by them. No, it's the adult stuff that will wear you down: mountains of paperwork, oversized classes, exhausting workloads-and above all else, the failure of Congress to fulfill its more than 20-year-old promise to fund 40 percent of the cost of educating children with special needs. Currently, the federal government covers only about 17 percent of the total cost of special education-creating a funding shortfall this year for local public schools of $10.5 billion.

Its curriculum utilises the basic Primary School curriculum, adapted for the special needs of individual children. Older students are also taught sewing and other household skills.

Special educators are aware of disability issues and are well-trained in accommodations, including assistive technologies. Special educators are invited to be active, joint participants in curriculum development and assessment. Student and educator collaboration with key community members and colleagues is common and encouraged. Acquiring Technology Federal law mandates that schools accept responsibility for providing equal educational opportunities, known as free appropriate public education If schools consider accessibility issues from the outset, they will significantly enhance the ability of special needs students to participate equally in a knowledge-based society.

For years, most of us had to develop our own materials since there wasn't much specific to homeschoolers. Many of us gleaned ideas from general special needs resources and just ignored the frequent references to school. Fortunately, more resources are now available for homeschoolers and educating your own special needs child is no longer such a "where-do-I-start?" and "what-do-I-do?" proposition. Although, keep in mind that because a specific resource works for one ADHD or AS child doesn't necessarily mean that it will work for your ADHD or AS child.
