Extractions: CHECK Home Getting started (Please note: the following discussion does not constitute the giving of legal advice and is not intended to be a substitute for competent legal counsel.) Overview Homeschooling is perfectly legal in the state of Kansas. Unfortunately, Kansass statutes do not mention homeschooling specifically, and thus some confusion exists on this issue, especially among public school officials and occasionally among local legal authorities. However, among the state's legal authorities, which includes the Kansas Attorney General, the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS), the legal staff of the Kansas State Board of Education, and numerous district courts, the legality of homeschooling in Kansas is fairly well settled. Kansas Statutes The 1996 Kansas Legislature amended K.S.A. 72-1111, the statute pertaining to compulsory school attendance in Kansas, to read as follows: Additionally, K.S.A. 72-53,101 imposes a one-time registration requirement at the establishment of a private school in Kansas: "72-53,101.Each official custodian of a private elementary or secondary school shall register the name and address of the private elementary or secondary school with the state board of education."
Extractions: Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy results from the pioneering teamwork over seventeen years of Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins. Dr. Paul Nordoff was a graduate of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music and the Juilliard Graduate School. He was Professor of Music at Bard College from 1949 to 1958. He received many honors for his work as a composer, among them the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship and the Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship for music. In 1958, after witnessing the musical responses of disabled children, he became so convinced of the power of music as therapy that he gave up his academic career. Creatively and empirically, and with encouragement from colleagues in research and psychology, he began his innovative explorations with disabled children in Great Britain and Europe. From the onset he found a teammate in Dr. Clive Robbins, a special educator deeply interested in the possibilities of music as a versatile medium of therapy. Following a lecture-demonstration tour and a survey of facilities and music offerings for special needs children in Britain and Europe, Nordoff and Robbins began their American work in 1961 with pilot projects at the Day Care Unit for Autistic Children, Department of Child Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, and the Devereux Foundation. They worked with autistic, emotionally disturbed, developmentally disabled, and multiply handicapped children. Their approach to music therapy developed further with physically disabled and communicatively handicapped children at the Institute of Logopedics, Wichita, Kansas.

Asian and Middle Eastern publications in English on "special needs" are slowly building up, mainly by people who have studied in Europe or North America. Such works usually take euro-american norms as the gold standard with a passing nod to the 'native' heritage. This is some improvement on earlier practice in which converts to 'modern beliefs' (i.e. recent euro-american hypotheses in the disability field) would heartily denounce the 'backwardness and superstition' of their own country. The two books under review both provide a good deal of information about current special needs service and thinking in India and Egypt, along with some political spin. Differences in cognitive capacities and aptitude for education were noted in the Rig Veda nearly 4000 years ago, and students unable to chant the sacred texts with correct understanding were directed toward physical rather than mental tasks. [1] After some centuries, sporadic notes in the early South Asian Buddhist literature suggest a more nuanced educational approach to slow learners and children with sensory impairments. The benefits of motivating the young child by starting with play, and of activity methods and a practical curriculum, were understood, along with some formal knowledge of childhood developmental stages, elementary audiological assessment, and the need for active learning of parenting skills. [2] Yet the present South Asian population remains unaware of the greater part of this heritage.

Extractions: HOME CRL Intranet Our Story Publications ... Press Room Search Posted: October 2003 About the author: Carl Skordahl is director of special education for Osseo Area Schools, Minnesota This article originally appeared in the January 1997 issue of Strategram, a newsletter for SIM teachers. Minnesota school districts, like many districts in other states, are facing serious fiscal limitations. The district I represent not only faces reduced state-level support but also is located in an area that does not have a strong tax base for generating local funds. This fiscal dilemma is occurring in the face of inflation and increased learner needs for those with and without disabilities. Consequently, staff and leadership must address this problem and take steps for its resolution. This article is an attempt to share with you one possible solution for meeting the needs of students and staff despite fiscal limitations. The solution will be presented in the context of the district I represent. The Osseo Area School District is located in a west suburban area of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. Osseo Area Schools serve 21,000 students in 20 elementary schools (grades K-6), four junior high schools (grades 7-9), and three senior high schools (grades 10-12). About 11% of the population receives special education services, and 85% to 90% of those students are labeled mildly disabled.
