Extractions: Do Private Schools Serve Difficult-to-Educate Students? Janet R. Beales and Thomas F. Bertonneau, October 1997, Mackinac Center for Public Policy, 70 pps. $5.00, paper. This booklet is an in-depth research report on the institutions, programs and resources that are available to educate at-risk, disabled, and incarcerated youth. Public school districts often rely on private sector providers when they are unable to serve special-needs students. They refer these students to private schools that educate them under contract with government agencies. Who are these special-needs children? They are the abused, the homeless, the disabled, the substance abusers. Often, they require teaching that also involves behavior modification, independent living skills, or skills to help them deal with a particular disability. The providers featured in Private Schools are divided into three categories: nonpublic schools (which serve children at public expense), private-tuition schools (at parent expense), and homeschools. Boys Town USA is an example of a private institution serving children in the catchall category of "at risk." Nonpublic schools serving children in that category are available in at least 17 states, with at least seven states having formal, legislated programs enabling public schools to contract with non-public schools.

Extractions: By Barbara Nordby/and JoAnne Young/Lincoln Journal Star Nebraska special education advocates hope changes to federal law will bring more money, better-prepared teachers and more appropriate learning expectations for students with disabilities. Members of Congress agreed Wednesday on changes to the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, which guarantees those students a free and appropriate education. The education law was first enacted in 1975. If the new bill is passed, the U.S. Department of Education would write regulations, and then the Nebraska Department of Education would rewrite its statutes according to them. More than 40,000 Nebraska students receive special education services, about one in seven students. Services range from speech and hearing therapy for young children to separate classrooms and programs for severely handicapped high school students.

Extractions: Books Magazines Music Maps Out of Print Books British Books British Magazines British Music Keywords: Whenever the issue of "school choice" comes up for discussion, somebody in-evitably will claim that the private sector can't be trusted to serve the kids who are, for one reason or another, difficult to educate. Government schools are depicted as democratic, egalitarian institutions that take on all comers, including the toughest cases. Private alternatives are alleged to be inherently elitist organizations that "skim the cream" and leave the challenging kids to their courageous and altruistic public counterparts. This perspec-tive is pure myth. The fact is that children who are troubled, neglected, learning or emotionally disabled, or otherwise have special needs are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. They need help from non-governmental sources, from people who know that you don't have to be a civil servant to be either civil or a servant. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home-schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-toeducate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private-sector body to do the job. The Directory for Exceptional Children lists roughly 3,000 special-education schools and facilities in the private sector nationwide. Their costs of educating a student vary widely, depending in large part on the nature of the disability category served, and may also include the cost of medical care and transportation.

Extractions: for Students with Disabilities? Paraeducators and teachers who work in special education programs are often confronted with questions regarding the types of programs, special procedures and the expenses involved in meeting the needs of students with disabilities. This lesson provides information on two legal and philosophical principles which are basic to special services and programs. Special education rules and procedures have been developed to help insure that programs are fair and appropriate. One of the first important principles is that educational programs are for all children. Secondly, students with disabilities must have the same opportunities to participate in educational programs as children who are not labeled as disabled. Familiarity with these two principles helps paraeducators be more effective advocates for students with disabilities. Access to an education is an important right which can provide a lifetime of opportunities. Conversely, a lack of access to an education may seriously limit the quality of life and potential success of an individual. A number of judicial decisions have highlighted the importance of this right for students with disabilities (Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Citizens, MILLS vs Board of Education). Congress has incorporated this concept in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) . The law refers to this right to an education using the terminology
Introducation Special Education Programs: Lesson 3 Incorrectly identifying students as disabled and failing to identify students If the school determines that a child has a disability and needs special http://para.unl.edu/para/SpedProg/lesson3.html
Extractions: Identification and Placement Procedures One of the most critical and difficult aspects of special education programs is the identification of eligible students. A number of problems arise in deciding which children should receive services. Criteria for verification of a disability may be subjective or subject to change. Instruments used to judge ability, achievement or personality are often less than adequate and may be inaccurate. The decision is critical because the identification of a student as eligible for special education can have a serious long term impact on a student. It is the responsibility of the school to find and identify all students who have disabilities. As part of this responsibility, the school conducts screening activities to find students who might, after further evaluation be verified as having a disability. Hearing screening, vision screening, and group achievement testing are all examples of screening activities. Screening activities include preschool as well as school age children.

Indicates a Christian perspective. Homeschooling The Challenging Child: A Practical Guide There are countless resources available for the homeschooling parent of special needs children. For years, most of us had to develop our own materials since there wasn't much specific to homeschoolers. Many of us gleaned ideas from general special needs resources and just ignored the frequent references to school. Fortunately, more resources are now available for homeschoolers and educating your own special needs child is no longer such a "where-do-I-start?" and "what-do-I-do?" proposition. Although, keep in mind that because a specific resource works for one ADHD or AS child doesn't necessarily mean that it will work for your ADHD or AS child.

I was saddened to see that Case School for Children with Learning Disabilities in Omaha has closed its doors because it was too costly for most families. Any school with the intention of meeting the needs of struggling children is an asset to the community. The unfortunate truth is that the label "learning-disabled that is put upon children who don't learn to read in a regular education classroom is, most of the time, wrong. Most of these children don't fail to learn to read because they are learning-disabled. The real culprits are poor classroom curriculum and instructional methods, commonly called "whole language". My oldest son was nearly labeled as one of the 16,000 learning-disabled youngsters in Nebraska. When he attended first grade in Omaha, he did not learn to read. His teachers recommended testing him to see what his learning disabilities were. My husband and I said "no thanks" to their suggestion of special education services and instead enrolled him in the Phoenix Academy of Learning in Rockbrook Village.

Extractions: Schools of Choice Transportation Case* By Peggy Burns, Esq. S chool districts in Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and the Dakotas can breathe a sigh of relief now that the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued its ruling in Timothy H. v. Cedar Rapids Community School District . The case concerned Kratisha, a special education student whose parents wanted to have her "choiced in" to a school in the district which was not her neighborhood school. Kratisha, who has cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia, multiple orthopedic problems, and severe communication disabilities, attended Thomas Jefferson High School, where it is not contested that she was receiving a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Her IEP required special transportation services - a lift bus and establishment of a special route - which were provided when she attended her neighborhood school. Her parents wanted her to attend John F. Kennedy High School under the district's intra-district transfer policy. That policy provided in part: "Parents shall be responsible for the transportation of students not attending their resident area school." When the district refused, the parents filed a claim under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ("§504").
