With so many typical students signed up, each special education student has about five buddies that they rotate between. Ms. Kundrat handles all the buddy scheduling, as well as training and preparing the typical students for their new friendship with their disabled peers.
Educational Advocacy For Youth With Disabilities times the percentage of the public school population identified as disabled.56 IDEA mandates that the special education needs of all youth be met, http://ojjdp.ncjrs.org/pubs/walls/sect-03.html
Extractions: With Disabilities The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that States provide a free and appropriate public education for all students with disabilities if the State receives Federal support for educating students with disabilities. IDEA gives enforcement authority not only to the Federal and State Departments of Education, but also to individuals. Therefore, if a parent, youth advocate, or department of education worker finds that a detained or confined youth is not receiving adequate educational services, IDEA can be used to secure appropriate education for this youth. Previous studies emanating from litigation and professional literature in this area document the inadequate educational services received by youth in custody. IDEA serves as an ideal tool to access educational services for youth with disabilities because it requires public schools and State-operated programs, such as juvenile correctional facilities, to provide each eligible child with adequate special education and related services. The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act Although nearly all States have compulsory education laws and provide educational services through local school districts, Congress recognized the special needs of students with disabilities when it passed IDEA in 1975. IDEA mandates that all eligible students receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive setting possible.

Extractions: Special Education Procedures Manual: Chapter 8.1 - Extended School Year Services Extended School Year (ESY) is an individualized program, based upon the previous years IEP goals and objectives, offered to special education children beyond the normal school year at no cost to parents. ESY typically is provided for children who lose important self-sufficiency skills due to regular breaks in instruction and who require an excessive amount of time to regain those skills. The IEP team will consider every disabled childs need for ESY services at each annual IEP review meeting, and the team will determine eligibility on an individual basis. Related services can be provided when required to maintain identified skills. The least restrictive environment is considered for each ESY program, but may not necessarily include all of the options available during the regular school year. ESY can be provided in a variety of environments such as the home with the parent teaching and staff consulting, at school, and in the community. ESY is not compulsory; parents may choose to decline ESY services. No single criterion can be used to determine eligibility.

Homeschoolers, like all educators, often fall into the easy trap of spouting educational jargon until it becomes almost meaningless, especially to newcomers. We forget, perhaps, that everyone was once a newcomer. The term "unit studies" is an especially slippery fish of a term, because it can mean so many things. It may refer to a relaxed, interest led frolic through a subject, initiated by a child's interest in, for instance, cars. The child reads about cars, draws cars, examines the insides of cars, takes cars apart, measures cars, studies the math and science of cars, bakes and eats car shaped cakes, and builds a model car.
