Europe is all for giving its "different" children a place in regular schools, but the debate over integration is far from sealed Enrolling a child at the local public school is a painless exercise for most European parentsunless of course, their child happens to be "different." In that case, where they live is still likely to determine whether the child is welcomed into a regular classroom or guided towards a special school.

We need teachers skilled in using computers as a powerful teaching tool, and many more teachers well-versed in teaching English as a second language. Our teachers need to teach to a higher level of achievement, and be prepared to teach all of America's children-the gifted and talented, our many new immigrants, the college-bound achiever, and the disabled child who is learning so much more because he or she is now included."

SESA News Fall '96: Something's Happening People want to reduce the resources special needs programs require in order The alaska Association of School Administrators (AASA) has appointed me to http://www.sesa.org/newsltr/fall96/ryan.html
Extractions: When children go to school they leave the comfort and protection of a home situation and enter an entirely new world. Most teachers are well trained, know what to expect of children, and try to help them succeed as individuals. However, sometimes a child doesnÕt seem to be learning as well as expected or behaves in such a way that the teacher needs help from specialists with advanced training. This is when the special education teacher is asked for advice and the parent(s) is asked to join the team in order to study how to help the child succeed. I have worked as a rural teacher in a small school and an administrator in rural Alaska since 1974 and I am often reminded of that refrain from an old Bob Dylan song whenever a teacher asks for help with a student. In my experience, most teachers resent labeling kids, want to avoid the hassle of a special education referral, assessment, child-study team meetings, parental permission to test, IEP meetings and the resentment, guilt, and anger generated by this system. It is not an easy process. I have worked in schools (districts) that purposely minimized referral and assessment out of an unspoken (certainly unwritten) conviction that special education identification does more harm than good. Or that the system doesnÕt and cannot really provide the resources for substantially improved services for rural kidsÑat least none that outweigh the stigmatization.

Extractions: Shanda, Age 5 Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Syndrome (FASD), often referred to as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), and other Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBDs) are a series of birth disabilities related to alcohol. FASD is a pattern of mental and physical problems that may occur in some children whose mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy. While the baby is developing in the mother, alcohol the mother drinks is passed to the developing child. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is now regarded as one of the leading causes of mental retardation in the US. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is entirely preventable. If a woman of childbearing age does not drink when she could become pregnant or is pregnant, her child will not have FASD. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that reported rates of FASD vary widely. Currently, it is estimated that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (the most severe form) is seen in 0.2 to 1.5 per 1,000 live births in the U.S. Children diagnosed as suffering from FASD have lifelong behavioral, intellectual and physical difficulties. Not all babies and children are affected the same way and the severity of symptoms is characterized along a spectrum of mild to severe problems. Some children may show no effects, while others may have severe mental retardation and physical abnormalities. Children will not outgrow FASD, but the types of problems will change as the child grows older and faces new developmental challenges.
