U.S. Senator Judd Gregg Of New Hampshire Press Release Provides new options for students in private schools by expanding child find to ensure all children with special needs receive a free appropriate public http://gregg.senate.gov/press/2004/press120804c.htm
Extractions: IMPROVING FEDERAL SPECIAL EDUCATION LAWS WASHINGTONHouse and Senate negotiators today will put the finishing touches on a bipartisan agreement to improve federal special education laws, said Judd Gregg, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Gregg predicted final congressional passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act prior to adjournment. The agreement we will pass today reflects two years of hard work and bipartisan cooperation by all involved, Gregg said. With significant input from parents, educators and disability groups, as well as the recommendations of the Presidents Commission on Excellence in Special Education, our bill attempts to better unite parents, teachers and school administrators around the shared goal of a quality, results-based education for children with disabilities. Gregg, who is stepping down as Chairman of the HELP Committee at the end of the 108th Congress, said, I can think of no finer way to bring my tenure as Chairman of this committee to a close than by completing action on this legislation. In particular, I would like to thank Senator Kennedy, Congressman Boehner, Congressman Miller and all of our dedicated staff for their contributions and their cooperative spirit in working toward this day.

Extractions: Links to Additional Information New England is also highly susceptible to the potential loss of life and damage from hurricanes. first recorded hurricane in New England was the Great Coastal Hurricane that struck in August of 1635. Since that time, more than 60 damaging hurricanes have impacted New England. The Hurricane of 1938 struck on September 21, 1938, with wind gusts up to 138 mph. Seven hundred people were killed and 2,000 injured. More than $400 million in damages (1938 Dollars) resulted from this and affected every New England state. More recent hurricanes affecting New England were Carol in 1954, Diane in 1955, Donna in 1960, Gloria in 1985 and Bob in 1991. New England's history of severe weather includes a legacy of severe winter storms and blizzards. Probably the most severe winter storm ever to strike New England was the Blizzard of 1888. This storm occurred on March 11-14, 1888 and dumped 30 to 50 inches of snow in the region. In Boston, where the snow mixed with rain, the city was covered with 9 inches of heavy wet slush. In 1978 another great blizzard hit New England. The Blizzard of '78 dumped 24 to 38 inches of the white stuff immobilizing the infrastructure and blocking major interstate highways. Thousands of motorists abandoned their automobiles on the highways and in some areas upwards of 2 weeks were required to clear the snow. More recent blizzards and snowstorms occurred in March of 1993 and February of 1996. These events killed scores of people, caused millions of dollars in damage and left thousands of people without power for days.

Student Diversity And Learning Needs. ERIC Digest. As was expected, both special needs students and their nondisabled peers became an interdisciplinary program at Souhegan High School in new hampshire. http://www.ericdigests.org/1998-1/needs.htm
Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading English and Communication Bloomington IN. Student Diversity and Learning Needs. ERIC Digest. To successfully reach out to a diversity of learners requires substantial support. Although budget-minded critics will argue that such support is costly, they need to be reminded that an investment in prevention today will eliminate or lessen the expense of remediation tomorrow. Not surprisingly, educators who receive substantial help are more effective when carrying out worthwhile innovations that increase all students' potential for success. This notion of support is vitally important because students' "at-riskness" will not disappear and because the government and educational community continue to believe in the efficacy of raising academic standards. This Digest will discuss some sources of support intended as a complement to and a scaffold for teachers and administrators who experiment with different ways of meeting a diversity of learning needs. CURRICULAR CONGRUENCE At-risk learners benefit from instructional activities that are carefully planned and mutually supported by classroom teachers and learning center staff (Nelson, 1994). Unfortunately, many schools provide separate instruction in both settings. For example, in the English classroom, students may explore the theme of good and evil by reading and discussing William Golding's "Lord of the Flies," whereas in the learning center, at-risk students may complete workbook exercises and other fragmented activities unrelated to the instructional theme. Clearly, at-risk learners are more likely to be successful when classroom and learning center teachers provide them with congruent goals, resources, strategies, and skills.

An Affirmation Of Community 7 of the new hampshire legislative task force to study family support needs, Families of atrisk youngsters and those with special needs choose and http://www.self-determination.com/publications/community7.html
Extractions: Creating a Community to Support All People Including Those With Disabilities Thomas Nerney, Richard F. Crowley,with Bruce Kappel A consistent theme throughout these strategies is that choice, decision-making and financial resources are in the hands of people with disabilities. One result of this approach is that there will be fewer intermediaries standing as barriers between people with disabilities and other members of their community. Today, a massive service system and bureaucracy stands as a barrier. Our future will be built together professionals, ordinary citizens, friends, colleagues, co-workers and family members. Professionals will assist people to turn their plans into reality. Community members will continue to work together to build a community and nation in which individuals live quality lives and contribute to the common good. "The process asks much of us. The initial focus is on us, not on changing the other person. However, as we begin to change and draw more closely to the marginalized people, our task is to bring others along to form circles of friends and change reality."

Extractions: Policies and Procedures What is Section 504? Section 504 (C.F.R. 104) of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is federal civil rights law. It states that no qualified individual with a disability, shall on the basis of that disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity which receives or benefits from federal financial assistance (e.g., public schools). A person qualified as disabled under Section 504 is an individual who has a physical or mental impairment, and/or is regarded as having such impairment, which thereby substantially limits one or more major life activities. Major life activities include caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, talking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, working, and learning. Section 504 protection also covers all students found eligible for specialized instruction under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
