Extractions: The University of South Alabama, the only major public institution of higher learning on the upper Gulf Coast, was created by act of the Alabama State Legislature in May, 1963. With Alabama's two older universities more than 200 miles distant, the University is strategically located in the greater Mobile area, which has a population of more than a million within a 100-mile radius. THE GULF COAST REGION Exploration in the Mobile River area began in 1519 when the Spanish Admiral Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda entered and charted the area now known as Mobile Bay. The old fort, now known as Fort Morgan, guarding Mobile Bay, was first fortified by the Spanish in 1559. Settled in 1711 by the French, the bay area has had a tradition rich in culture and vital in the affairs of the nation from its formative years to the present. Trade and shipping are vital to the economy of the area. More than forty-two million tons of shipping are handled annually through the Port of Mobile, which is rated among the top ports in the country. More than fifteen million tons of shipping are carried yearly on the Tombigbee-Black Warrior waterway system with its modern locks and dams. The intracoastal waterway, crossing the southern end of the state, is connected at Mobile Bay with both inland and ocean shipping. Railroads and airlines serve the Bay area. Diversified farming, woodland crops, and seafood and fisheries are major factors in the area's economy.

Extractions: The life-size "Kids on the Block" puppets come with personal stories that are used to teach children about disabilities. From left to right: On the table: Eddy Franklin, Joanne Spinoza, and David Franklin (autism). On the floor: Nicholas Murphy (hemophilia) and Renaldo Rodriguez (visually impaired). Data collected by the U.S. Bureau of the Census suggest that as many as 20 percent of the American population live with some level of disability and as many as 10 percent have a severe disability. These Americans rely on libraries to provide a range of materials and services to help them meet their information needs. Traditional offerings such as adaptive technology, large print books, books on tape, and books-by-mail are a staple at many libraries. Other libraries have thoughtful programs to help the disabled and the mentally handicapped overcome more basic challenges of self-esteem and integration into everyday society.

Extractions: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the 1992 Americans with Disabilities Act may seem puzzling to the non-lawyer. Myths and half-truths abound. Some consultants and lawyers advise that schools and church buildings must be made totally accessible. Many board members and administrators fear that the cost of accommodations will be so high as to force schools and parish programs out of existence. Some school personnel continue to question accepting students with special needs. Can the average Catholic school provide the program adjustments needed by these students? This question should not be answered without a clear understanding of legal requirements.

Extractions: Summer 1998 Issues in Native American Education By Bonnie S. Bostrom Bonnie is the Chief of Education for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. She is a member of the Alabama Band of Cherokee. Bonnie has her Master's Degrees in Special Education and Educational Administration. She is currently a Doctoral Candidate in Leadership and Educational Administration from the University of New Mexico. She has worked in many pueblos and reservations. Table of Contents Introduction Higher Education Introduction There are many important issues in education facing Native Americans today. This article will cover some of those issues. The issues are: special education services, parental involvement, economic issues, staff development, and political coalitions. This article does not cover all of these issues in depth. It will, however help readers understand them. Parents must understand their rights when it comes to Special Education referral, testing, and placement. The percentage of Native American students who are getting Special Education services is, in some places, much higher than the national average. You, as a Native American parent, should be aware that special education is not always the most helpful placement for your child.
