Legal Files Archives School Nursing Services for Special Children By Phil Stinson, Esq. Parents of children with special needs are often confronted with problems relating to the delivery of nursing services while their child is at school. On rare occasions, without the provision of such services, it is impossible for a student to attend school on a regular basis. This situation can be highly disruptive to family operations, as parents struggle to juggle the impossible burden of work obligations, while, at the same time, taking the time to personally provide the services for the child. On March 3, 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed this issue in Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garrett F. The Garrett F. Court did not address how the 1997 Amendments to the IDEA impact on the issue of providing school nursing services for children with special needs (because the issue before the Court dealt with facts and law prior to the enactment of the revisions to the special education laws in 1997). In 1997, Congress amended the IDEA to clarify that public educational agencies (local school districts) are the payors of last resort whenever another public agency has a funding responsibility to an exceptional child.

Position Statement Advocacy for Appropriate Educational Services for All Children The Education of All Handicapped Children Act (P.L. 94-142) achieved major goals in serving children with disabilities, many who previously had been excluded from appropriate education programs. Since its enactment in 1975, all children with disabilities have been guaranteed a free and appropriate public education, the right to due process, and individualization of instruction according to need. The National Association of School Psychologists strongly supports the continuation of legislation such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which has mandated these guarantees. NASP recognizes that serious problems have been encountered as school districts strive to meet these mandates while assuring a quality education for all students. Some of these problems reflect difficulties within special education; others have their origins in the general education system. Other problems with the current classification system include: Labels that are often irrelevant to instruction needs.

Pre-natally through the sixth year there are several distinct stages. They include: intra-uterine, intrapartum (the birth itself), postpartum (birth to 1 month), early infancy (the first six months), late infancy (6-12months), toddler (1 to 3 years), and the pre-school child (3-6 years of age). Children have different needs, depending on where they are within these stages.

However, regular schools cannot meet other special needs, as a rule. Special needs, created due to disabilities, functional or social limitations, handicaps or other peculiarities of pupils, require special methods and equipment in order to acquire general education - without compensation of the kind, education could remain out of reach for challenged learners. Tiger Leap Foundation supports access of pupils with special needs to general education by making information and communication technologies (ICT) available for that purpose. The project is called "ICT in the Education of Pupils with Special Needs". It provides backing to support centres, counselling children with special needs, their parents, teachers, officials in education and all interested parties. The educational special needs support centre for children with learning difficulties operates on the basis of Tartu Kroonuaia School and disseminates training in ICT use throughout Estonia.

TRANSITIONS FOR SUCCESS: HELPING K-12 STUDENTS MOVE THROUGH THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM by Carmela Cunningham carmelac@aol.com EASI Change is Scary. It usually means new people, a new environment, new equipment, new procedures, and new expectations. But change is also a part of progress. And the way to make sure that life changes are more beneficial than painful, is to understand what is expected and required in a new environment and to carefully plan how to fulfill those new expectations and requirements. Students with disabilities can have a particularly hard time making the usual transitions that take place in the educational process. When a student moves from one educational setting to another, it is a time of anxiety. If that student has a disability, the anxiety is multiplied. The new environment may have to be physically adapted. New classmates will have questions, and new teachers will need information on how to best help the disabled student progress and become an interdependent part of the new classroom or school. MAINSTREAMING One of the main issues facing parents of children with disabilities is whether or not to allow their children to be mainstreamed - put into regular school classrooms. Many people see it as an equality issue. Others see it practically - some children aren't able to learn what they need to learn in regular classes.
