Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences.

Extractions: National Mental Health and Education Center A There is nothing in IDEA which restricts schools from disciplining children with disabilities. In fact, some would say that by not addressing these dangerous behaviors the student with special needs is not receiving an "appropriate" education. Both of these children may need specialized ser-vices to change the disruptive and dangerous behavior to make sure whatever discipline is used works in preventing a reoccurrence of that behavior. It is hoped that these principles will increase positive behavior conducive to learning and reduce the need to use expulsion and suspension as interventions for behavior problems. Positive interventions will also increase classroom teacher and parental support for such actions taken to improve school discipline and safety. School's Responsibility to Maintain a Safe Environment Conducive to Learning School systems have the legal responsibility to maintain safe, violence free schools. Part of that responsibility includes the establishment of a code of conduct including specific consequences for violations of the code of behavioral conduct. School authorities have the right and responsibility to discipline children (including the removal of children from their present school) when those children violate school rules, by engaging in conduct which materially and substantially disrupts the rights of others to be physically safe and to be educated. When conduct endangers the student, or other students, temporary removal of that student may become imperative. Schools also have these rights and responsibilities when students with disabilities violate school rules, causing disruptions or danger to themselves or others.

Special Child: Legal Files Archives Parents seeking atschool nursing services for a child with special The needfor at-school nursing services should be documented by a medical doctor. http://www.specialchild.com/archives/lf-011.html
Extractions: By Phil Stinson, Esq. Parents of children with special needs are often confronted with problems relating to the delivery of nursing services while their child is at school. On rare occasions, without the provision of such services, it is impossible for a student to attend school on a regular basis. This situation can be highly disruptive to family operations, as parents struggle to juggle the impossible burden of work obligations, while, at the same time, taking the time to personally provide the services for the child. On March 3, 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed this issue in Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garrett F. The Garrett F. Court did not address how the 1997 Amendments to the IDEA impact on the issue of providing school nursing services for children with special needs (because the issue before the Court dealt with facts and law prior to the enactment of the revisions to the special education laws in 1997). In 1997, Congress amended the IDEA to clarify that public educational agencies (local school districts) are the payors of last resort whenever another public agency has a funding responsibility to an exceptional child.

Consider joining clubs and participating in other high school activities. Start a folder of everything you collect on postsecondary education.
