Return to TRE Newsletters Tips for Choosing A Summer Camp Program for Your LD Child by Ann Cathcart Founder/Director The Learning Camp, Vail, Colorado Searching for a positive learning environment for her own child, Ann Cathcart left her position as CEO of the Better Business Bureau in Colorado and Wyoming to establish The Learning Camp. "Choosing the appropriate summer environment for your LD child can become one of the many challenges facing parents. It was such a challenge for me that I started a camp myself to create EXACTLY what I wanted for my son! (I do not recommend that others take that route!)" ... Ann Cathcart Ann's Tips for Choosing A Summer Camp When choosing a summer camp program for a child with learning disabilities, the most important question to me is, "will they understand and take good care of my child?" This can be answered by lengthy conversations with camp personnel or the director. If a camp is too busy to return your phone calls, or take the time to talk at length with you, will they be too busy for your child as well? Regardless of all that a camp may have to offer, if the director or the staff are too busy for you now, it should be a red flag! Find a camp that will give you and your child the time and attention that you both deserve.

Metro Santa Cruz MetroActive Central Archives Disabled by Law Robert Scheer Speak No Evil: Ryan Jones couldn't find a place in the Santa Cruz school system, despite a law guaranteeing his right to a public education. More than 20 years ago, Congress passed sweeping legislation to protect the civil rights of disabled children by guaranteeing them an education. California still hasn't gotten around to enforcing it. By Kelly Luker I T IS THE MIDDLE OF A SCHOOL DAY, but 9-year-old Ryan Jones is at home, showing his visitor a collection of Star Wars memorabilia. Unable to speak because of a stroke suffered at birth, the bright-eyed youngster points excitedly to miniatures of Darth Vader and R2D2 as his mother Karen smiles and looks on. The tender scene belies the controversy around this mother and her disabled son. Ryan is not playing hookyKaren Jones pulled her child out of school, disgusted with school officials' failure to give him what he needs to get an education. After two years, numerous meetings involving several attorneys and, finally, a formal civil rights complaint, it doesn't look like Ryan Jones will be back in school anytime soon. The story behind Ryan's and Karen's fight can be traced back more than a decade before Ryan was born. A federal law known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was passed in 1975, requiring that children with special needs be taught alongside other school children "whenever possible" in the "least restrictive environment." It is these two phrases that have become a sticking point between Santa Cruz County educators and parents of disabled kids. These parents, including Karen Jones, have joined together to file a complaint with the Civil Rights Office at the U.S. Department of Education.

The poll, being released Monday by the advocacy group Public Agenda, suggests parents feel that while teachers care and school personnel are qualified to deal with disabilities, school systems don't offer special help to children unless families insist. Ann Duffett, an author of the study, said parents have a different perspective from policy-makers.
