Luz incialmente não queria de forma alguma sair dos computadores de demonstração do lado de fora da sala de aula, e com paciência e muita imaginação fomos integrando-o na sala com os demais amigos, Luz é portador da síndrome de down, e hoje após quase 3 anos frequentando aulas, ele iniciou um trabalho com especialistas em diversas áreas, foi matriculado em uma escola normal e está indo muito bem obrigada. Este é um depoimento que mostra que um trabalho em equipe , e com confiança, embasado em orientações seguras favorece o desenvolvimento dos alunos com necessidades especiais. Liliane Liliane's text in English: As an educator, I had, in the computer lab of a school that I guided, a student that we will call Luz. Luz, in the beginning, didn't want to leave from the demonstration computers that were outside of the classroom, and with patience and a lot of imagination we were integrating him in the classroom with the other friends. Luz is carrier of the down syndrome and today, after almost 3 years frequenting classes, he began a work with specialists in several areas, he was enrolled in a normal school and he is going very well, thank you. This story shows that working in team, and with trust, based on safe orientations favors the students with special needs' development.

Extractions: Testing Students with Disabilities Back to Spotlight Issues Back to CTEST Home Introduction to the issue Official Documents regarding special needs students Special needs testing in the News Weblinks for further information Introduction to the Issues As increasing numbers of students with disabilities apply for admission to institutions of higher education, many are seeking modifications during admissions testing to accommodate for their disabilities. Many of these accommodations are granted. The most common modification is extended time for test administration, although large print versions of tests, readers for tests, and other types of accommodations are also provided. When these accommodations are granted, many of those taking the tests with modifications are unaware that the score reports for such testing usually are sent to colleges or universities with a "flag" or other designation indicating that the test was given under nonstandard conditions. This nation currently embraces important social policy goals of allowing persons with disabilities to participate as fully as possible in society without having to face negative bias or stereotypes. For too long, many individuals with disabilities have had to confront unfair presumptions about their abilities to succeed in education and employment. There are now laws in many states and two federal laws designed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

Extractions: from my experience and perspective (dw) In the 50's, when I started school, all students were in regualr classes. The special needs students were often made to sit in the front right next to the teacher's desk or ignored and left in the back. These were the ones who were said to have "cooties" and were made fun of by the other students. School life was miserable. By the time they reached junior high and high school age, they dissappeared, because they quit school and got a job or just stayed home. Then, new classes started showing up in school boiler rooms. An effort was made to meet educational needs by separation from the general population. Movies, filmstrips, games and a watered down curriculum were used trying to make education more interesting and concrete. Manditory attendance laws forced schools to deal with the special ed. students. Words like mainstreaming started creeping into schools. Regular teachers, now used to the separation, were convinced they could not handle special students in their classrooms. But they started showing up in shop, home ec., and p.e. classes anyway. They also worked in the lunch room and helped the janitor shovel snow and sweep floors.

Field Trips LIBRARY The welcome mat is out during school hours for all Angier students, faculty, parents, and visitors. The Barbara Feldstein Library is a large room with spacious divisions designed to accommodate several groups pursuing different activities. Each class visits the library on a regular basis for an introduction to new books and reference tools presented by the professional librarian who is at Angier full-time. Aside from regularly scheduled classes, students may use the library to work on research projects, continue small group work, or just browse for a good book. A library assistant and parent volunteers staff the library each day to help the children, to work on the basic day-to-day necessities of checking books out and reshelving retuned items, and to help with other related library activities. Serving as a library volunteer is an excellent way for parents to acquaint themselves with Angier, the staff, and the student body.
Students With Special Needs - Policy school Buildings Integration of students with special education needs into mainstream schools, necessitates analysis of school buildings. http://www.tui.ie/Policy Documents/Sp-Needs.html
Extractions: Latest TUI News The recommendations emanate from concerns of the Union for students with special education needs and for their teachers. They come from a commitment to extending and enhancing the education experience of all students in schools which make provision for students with special education needs. As a result, the Union accepts that it has a responsibility to make recommendations on integration policies; on the provision of support services and of resources; on curricula and on school facilities. The assessment of students should be multi-professional so that physical, psychological, social, economic, medical and educational needs are specified and provided for. Multi-professional assessments should take place at agreed intervals so that changes can be met and adjustments made in schools' staffing and facilities. All teachers and professional staff who have contact with students with special education needs, should have appropriate access to assessments.
The Federation For Children With Special Needs Even though school administrators claim they checked it out with the state students who need accommodations in order to demonstrate their knowledge are http://www.fcsn.org/aboutus/ed/ed8.html
Extractions: Kids Pay Price for MCAS Confusion Fourteen students received the news. Their MCAS test responses had been scored as zeros because the accommodations they used were not allowable under state rules. Even though school administrators claim they checked it out with the state Department of Education's MCAS Support Services helpline, they apparently misunderstood or were given bad advice. In any case, eleven 8th-grade and three 4th-grade students received only the basic 200 on their exams. They participated in good faith, using the accommodations approved by their IEP Teams and school administrators. Yet, these fourteen paid the price with a defeating failure! The federal special education law IDEA-97 includes new rules intended to make sure that students with disabilities benefit from education reform improvements. For example, it calls for every student with a disability to have access to the general curriculum and high standards. It also calls for all students to be included in the state's mandated testing system, MCAS. This requirement reinforces the message to schools that they are accountable for the learning achievements of all students with disabilities. At the same time, it promises students with disabilities that they will have fair and equal opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge on mandated tests. This promise is so important because, in the past, students with disabilities have been excluded from these tests.
The Federation For Children With Special Needs MCAS is back! This spring, for the second year, Massachusetts students will parents asking why students with special needs should take the MCAS at all. http://www.fcsn.org/aboutus/ed/ed5.html
Extractions: MCAS is Back! IDEA-97 now specifically requires that all students with disabilities have access to the general education curriculum. It also requires their participation in the assessments so they can show their knowledge of the curriculum. Participation in the MCAS not only holds students accountable, but more importantly, holds schools accountable for ensuring that all students receive a high quality education. Furthermore, beginning with the class of 2003 (current 8th graders), only students who pass the 10th grade test will be allowed to graduate. Therefore it is essential that all students, including students with disabilities, be taught the necessary material. Kids thrive when they are rewarded for their real achievements. They must be given opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge. While my instinctive reaction is to be protective, I have learned from my children that the high expectations they have for themselves more than justify the risks. My job is to help ensure that the proper supports and services are in place. Please accept my best wishes for improved results for all the students to be assessed this spring.
