Extractions: THE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT / THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK / ALBANY, NY 12234 TO: The Honorable the Members of the Board of Regents FROM: Lawrence C. Gloeckler COMMITTEE: Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities TITLE OF ITEM: Special Education in New York City DATE OF SUBMISSION: April 9, 2003 PROPOSED HANDLING: Discussion RATIONALE FOR ITEM: Policy Discussion Prior to Action STRATEGIC GOAL: AUTHORIZATION(S): SUMMARY: Despite positive trends in several areas, the poor performance of non-disabled students in New York City is predictive of the even poorer performance of students with disabilities. In addition, the performance of students with disabilities in New York City lags behind that of their peers in districts across New York State that have greater fiscal resources. The New York City Department of Education is now instituting a revised organizational structure that will reduce the number of administrative units and will allow educational administrators to focus on high-quality instruction for all students while non-pedagogical personnel handle such tasks as administrative, budget and personnel operations that have consumed so much time in the past. These reforms include an emphasis on research-based instructional strategies and school-level accountability for improved outcomes for students with disabilities. This challenging plan is designed to avoid unnecessary referrals to special education, to serve more students with disabilities in general education environments and to shift supports and resources to the classroom.

Go to the Introduction for main links of this site. There are several million exceptional children in the United States today. These children need 'special' educational and related services in order to gain their full potential. The term 'Special' is used as a general description for educational services appropriate for the individual needs of exceptional students. These children have: physical, mental, or emotional impairments, or they are gifted with abilities beyond the level of their peers which do not allow them to easily fit into the "normal" school environment. They have needs that require a little extra help or distinctive accommodations to succeed. Today, Special Education is a service offered by all states to meet the individual needs of exceptional students that is mandated and protected by federal law. It is important for parents of exceptional children to learn the principles of special education and understand those laws, which ensure the quality of education appropriate to their child's needs.

Extractions: Email: dperkerson@tkmartin.msstate.edu Too many students with disabilities spend the vast majority, if not all of their school day, in self-contained classrooms, affording them no opportunity for interaction with their typically developing peers. While it is understandable that the academic needs of some of these students are best served in such a setting, it should not be assumed that these students are incapable of participating with their peers in extracurricular activities. While there are various opportunities for recreation available to children with disabilities, they often do not offer opportunities for inclusion with typically developing peers. And while there are numerous extracurricular activities offered by schools, very few of these activities are enjoyed by students with disabilities. While there is definitely a place for programs specific to students with disabilities, such as Challenger Baseball and the YAI Players Theater of Dreams, it is also possible for students with disabilities to be involved with the school baseball team and drama club. With the benefits afforded through assistive technology, the possibilities for inclusion of students with disabilities in any extracurricular activity are endless.
