Extractions: FAPE NEWSLINE April 2000 The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) wants to hear from you. You can participate in their comprehensive planning process by completing the on-line Special Education Consumer Survey. The purpose of the comprehensive planning process is to develop a five-year national program plan that will support these activities. This is your opportunity to help shape national activities that link best practices to states, school systems, and families to improve results for infants, toddlers, and children with disabilities. The Special Education Consumer Survey is part of the nationwide effort to engage the broad education community in this planning process. OSEP wants to hear from everyone who is interested in education at the planning stage, including individuals with disabilities, parents of children with disabilities, professionals in the field of special and general education, members of national organizations, and representatives of various levels of government. You are even encouraged to complete the survey twice, if you would like to address the needs of individuals from different disability groups, or different age categories.

Extractions: Several years ago the Lewiston School District looked at compliance with "least restrictive environment" legislation which stemmed from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This was done in a effort to ensure that the district was serving kids in the environment best suited to meet their individual needs. Teachers were asked to examine their practices of serving students through pull-out programs. They were then asked to begin eliminating the use of such programs and to instead serve all students as much as possible in regular classrooms. From this evolved the districts policy of inclusion. At McGhee, all students, regardless of their mental or physical ability, spend their days in a mainstream classroom. They are removed only if they are in need of services that dont lend them- selves to a regular classroom setting, such as physical therapy, speech therapy, diapering, or tube feeding. Since the implementation of this policy, evidence of inclusion is everywhere. With a glimpse into any of McGhees 15 classrooms, a visitor may see a child with a severe disability, such as cerebral palsy, bound to a wheel chair yet participating to the fullest in all classroom events. The person would also see other students interacting naturally with the disabled student. What the person might not see is the way students feel about their disabled peersto them disabilities arent really an issue. In most of their minds, a disabled kid is just another kid, who maybe has to tackle learning a little differently than most.

Main Page The Resource Room is a specially designed learning environment for student's who have mild forms of a disability. While this program typically serves mostly students with Specific Learning Disabilities, any disabled student who has deficits in reading, written language or mathematics may be placed in the program. The Extended Resource Room (ERR) is designed to meet the needs of students requiring a more restrictive placement. The core curriculum for these classrooms focuses on the adaptive needs of the students, as well asacademic development in a community-based curriculum. These are generic programs, and as such, placement is based upon the degree of deficit, rather than the identified disability. The Serious Emotionally Disturbed Units (SED) are designed for students demonstrating emotional disturbances to such a significant degree that a specially designed program, focusing on the behavioral, social, emotional, andacademic needs of the individual student is necessary. The program offered in District #93 is unique, in that the SED students are fully included in a regular class, with specially trained teachers and teaching assistants. Enrollment in this program is limited in order to maintain a smaller teacher/pupil ratio, allowing staff to focus on the emotional needs of each SED student.

"When so many complaints come to the surface, you realize something is wrong with the system," said Genevieve Cousminer, an attorney and coordinator of advocacy services for the Coalition for Independent Living Options, a West Palm Beach group for the disabled that is one of the complaining parties.
