Wednesday, February 11, 2004 Special lives, special needs: Part I - meet the parents By Bridin Reynolds Hughes Note: This is the first story in a series discussing the special needs of developmentally disabled citizens as they leave the school system and their parents search for options to give their children the continued opportunity of full lives. Entitlements guaranteed by the school system do not extend into adult life. Additionally, supervised residential housing is at a premium, particularly in Sussex County. This week, meet some of the exceptional parents of extraordinary children. For the parent of a special needs child, the certain and common fears of child rearing are not to be outgrown. Fears of their own health failure, economic crisis or premature death are felt intensely and permanently by these parents as they struggle with the reality that their child will always need a caregiver, no matter the date on their birth certificate. Whether incidence is truly on the rise or medical professionals are just counting better, the number of developmentally disabled children is up. The map of milestones for developmentally disabled children is different, in some cases indescribably so. The ultimate milestone - reaching the independence of adulthood - is in many cases unattainable.
Extractions: Cleveland, Ohio Mr. Chairman, distinguished members of the Commission, good morning. My name is Phil Stinson, I am a member of the American Bar Association, and its' General Practice, Solo, and Small Law Firm Section. and I am a principal in the Philadelphia-based law firm of Stinson Law Associates, P.C. I welcome the opportunity to share my perspective with you today, because in my review of the testimony, reports, and scholarly debate considered to date by the Commission, I note one common theme: throughout the bulk of your deliberation, most of the debate has centered on the relationship between the accountancy profession and the legal profession. Upon reflection, I am sure that you will realize that such a debate is not truly of a multidisciplinary nature, but, rather, at times, it has degenerated into the perception of simply two professions jockeying for a position of power in a fast changing consumer-driven marketplace. I offer today the experiences of my law firm, because I think that our view of a multidisciplinary practice might well reflect the view of many members of this Section gathered in Ohio today, which, I submit, includes multidisciplinary professional relationships of a different type than that of our distinguished colleagues who have previously addressed the Commission.
MetroKids Special Camps delaware Valley children with special needs have an abundance of summer campchoices. “There are so many camps that disabled children can, and should, http://www.metrokids.com/june04/specialcamps0604.html
Extractions: Summer camp is something we all dream about as children, but for children with special needs, it can seem more like a fantasy. Thanks to the work of individuals and organizations that believe the summer camp experience is important for all children, that fantasy comes true every year for children with special needs, sometimes even for free. Delaware Valley residents can choose from an abundance of opportunities for outdoor recreation for their children with special needs, whether those needs are physical, mental, emotional, or a combination. At Oakhurst, for example, the camper-to-counselor ratio is no more than 3 to 1 and there is 24-hour nursing coverage on site. Camp Lee Mar in Lackawaxen, PA, has a full menu of amenities and four nurses on duty around the clock. Camps that Specialize Chronically ill children might benefit from a camp that offers them a suitable support system, such as the Ronald McDonald Camp outside Philadelphia, which offers overnight camps for children with life-threatening illnesses. Camp Victory in Millville, PA, a fully accessible residential camp designed for chronically ill and physically disabled children, has events of its own, and is regularly used by groups that want to provide specialized camps.
EVS-Accountability than ever on helping minority, limitedEnglish, and special-needs students . It also wasn t an issue in delaware. Taylor says nine schools didn t http://www.asbj.com/evs/04/accountability.html
Extractions: No doubt about it, No Child Left Behind brought tremendous changes to America's schools in the 2002-03 school year. States scrambled to add standardized tests. Schools beefed up programs aimed at struggling students. And, supporters say, the landmark legislation made schools focus more than ever on helping minority, limited-English, and special-needs students. But one thing No Child Left Behind didn't do was provide a true national system for grading schools. All schools in all states must meet test score goals called Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP. But exactly what that means varies widely from state to state. Each state has its own expectations and its own means of testing, making it tough to get an accurate picture of how the nation as a whole is performing. Take the following examples from the 2002-03 school year: Of course, Title I schools that don't meet AYP for two or more consecutive years face an increasing array of sanctions, ranging from having to offer student transfers to bringing in a completely new staff. So it isn't surprising that many educators look at the AYP disparity between states and wonder if it is fair. After all, why should nearly nine in 10 Kansas schools meet the federal guidelines in year one while nearly nine in 10 Florida schools fall short? WHY THE DIFFERENCES?

KASA - Kids As Self Advocates Some people still dont understand about kids with special needs but many are catching of delaware has been a fighter for disabled people for many years. http://www.fvkasa.org/reports/living.html
Extractions: powered by groups.yahoo.com My sister who has followed in my moms footsteps goes to conferences and meetings involving issues about disabled people. Many years ago, disabled children did not have equal rights like everyone else. Anyone disabled in general could not have the same job as everyone else, either due to racism among coworkers and there chairman above them or because there were no access ramps or elevators and no handicap parking. Children had to go to special schools and did not have equal opportunities as other children did. But in this day and age, disabled people are heading major corporations and receiving scholarships to Harvard. Children go to regular elementaries and graduate with the needed skills. Disabled men and women of the world must be recognized by everyone and treated equally. With your help one day everyone will be realized as an equal race. Joe is in the 9th grade. In his spare time, he likes to ride his bike and learn and talk about hot rods. He also likes rock bands like Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and the Rolling Stones. He hopes to get an electric guitar soon cause he thinks they are cool.

Click on Judicial Branch and then Indiana Court of Appeals. 2.) ******** OHIO REVAMPS STATE TESTS: ALIGNS WITH STANDARDS (Goal Three: Student Achievement and Citizenship) A new Ohio state law overhauls the state's proficiency tests by aligning them with academic standards (Rubin, EDUCATION DAILY, 6/15). The law also limits the tests' use in determining whether students will be promoted to the next grade or earn a high school diploma. The new law is based on recommendations developed by Governor Bob Taft's Commission for Student Success. Last year, the Commission reported that the Ohio tests were "rushed into place before the academic standards they were meant to measure had taken hold," reports the paper.
