Extractions: What are my child's rights to assistive technology? Federal and state laws support providing assistive technology to individuals with disabilities. Only a few are mentioned here. You can read more about your childs rights to assistive technology by getting copies of these and other laws and regulations from your state or national legislators. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the ADA, proposes to eliminate . . . discrimination against individuals with disabilities . . . to address the major areas of discrimination faced day-to-day by people with disabilities. The ADAs definition of auxiliary aids and services, its mandates for acquisition or modification of equipment and devices and reasonable accommodations support the provision of assistive technology devices and services to individuals with disabilities. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was enacted so that states will assist individuals with disabilities to prepare for and engage in gainful employment. Because of this law, Vocational Rehabilitation is able to pay for some assistive devices and services for eligible people. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance comply with non-discrimination. Section 504 Regulations require that public schools provide students who have disabilities an educational opportunity equal to the educational opportunity provided to students without disabilities.

Extractions: February 5, 2003 Maine Homeschoolers Fight Against Repressive Regulations Maine Legislative Document 160 would create a new homeschool option free of the needless restrictions the Department of Education has imposed through its rules. The bill would allow home schoolers to breathe freely after 20 years of stifling micromanagement. This new legislation would be an amazing improvement for Maine's homeschooling families. Under these new requirements, parents would only be required to provide a notice to the Commissioner of Education 14 days before the beginning of the home instruction program. The notice must contain the parent's name, signature address, the child's name and age, the date home instruction will begin, assurance that 175 days of instruction will be provided in the required subjects (same as currently required). Parents must send a letter to the Commissioner before September 1 every year thereafter, stating whether they intend to continue home education for the child.

Maine Meeting Place Likewise, maine s revised Special education regulations were made available in electronic form on the network, resulting in reduced distribution and http://www.benton.org/publibrary/state/meeting-place.html
Extractions: The Maine Meeting Place (MMP) is a statewide electronic bulletin board system created in February 1992 for people with disabilities, their families, and the people who serve them. MMP users can obtain or share information, meet others with similar problems and concerns, and contribute to disability awareness. The network is accessible over regular telephone lines through a toll-free number using low-cost terminal equipment or personal computers. The network was started by a parent who had two young children with special needs. The parent had a hard time obtaining timely information about disabilities issues and networking with other people with disabilities and their families to achieve common goals. Due to Maine's rural character, many families with children with special needs rarely communicate with one another, and their primary contacts with people knowledgeable about disabilities are with state agencies or other service providers. When the project began, staff identified a large number of $25 Sceptre terminal devices that were eventually purchased and distributed free of charge by the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council. Essentially a small keyboard with a modem, users can plug the device into a phone line and a television to connect to the network. The television screen serves as the monitor. Thus even families without a home computer can use this basic technology to participate in the network from home. Although the Sceptre terminals are no longer available, MMP continues to receive donations of second-hand computer equipment that founder Lou McIntosh says is "so out of date in today's business world that they aren't worth the money to cart them away." As of this writing, MMP had just received a donation of 100 computers with 286 processors that will be distributed to consumers after being fitted with modems.
