Extractions: Each year, 40,000 babies with disabilities are born, and another 80,000 children will develop a major developmental disability by the age of 10. You Will Dream New Dreams: Inspiring Personal Stories by Parents of Children with Disabilities includes pieces like "Hard Choices," on the painful decision to place a brain-damaged child in a group home, and "Getting to Know My Son," on a mother's struggle to accept and love a child with Down's syndrome. Compiled by clinical psychologist Stanley D. Klein and Kim Schive, a former editor of Exceptional Parent magazine, the book offers emotional support to disabled children's families and should help educators and health-care professionals better understand these parents' perspectives.

Extractions: News last week about less-than-adequate state test results in 30 percent of New Hampshire public schools has cast a spotlight on a problem many educators and disabilities rights advocates say has been around for years. As a group, students with educational disabilities did not score as high as their classmates on the statewide math and reading tests given last May to students in third, sixth and 10th grade. The difference in scores illustrated a significant statewide gap in performance that New Hampshire schools will have to close to comply with federal education laws. At one time, some students enrolled in special education programs were exempt from taking the annual statewide tests. But under current federal education laws, including No Child Left Behind and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, every student must participate and every student's scores must be counted. In 1997, amendments to the disabilities education law required that, by the 2000-01 school year, schools in every state would test every child with disabilities, either with an alternative assessment or the regular statewide test with special accommodations. In New Hampshire, fewer than 1 percent of students in the state (about 320 students with severe or multiple disabilities) complete a portfolio of work rather than taking the regular test.

Extractions: Today's Globe Politics Opinion Education ... N.H. By Katharine Webster, Associated Press Writer, 2/24/2004 CONCORD, N.H. Special education students are not entitled to private schooling at taxpayer expense unless they first give the public schools a chance to create and implement a special education plan, a federal appeals court said. ADVERTISEMENT The ruling by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston came Monday in the case of a Greenland girl, Katie C., whose parents moved her from public to private school before they or her teachers realized she needed special education. Jeanne Kincaid, lawyer for the Greenland School District, said she believes the ruling is the first by a federal appeals court upholding Congress's 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act. "It actually is a sweeping ruling and will have a major ripple effect," she said Tuesday. If the public schools fail to provide appropriate special education and the parents have notified them about their concerns, then they can enroll the child in private school and seek tuition reimbursement, she said. But if parents enroll their children in private school first, "You can't tap into us, the public, to pay for it," she said.
Extractions: Senior Research Associate, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research Executive Summary The report examines the effect of state funding systems and high stakes testing on special education enrollment. It specifically finds that: Nationally, special education enrollment grew from 10.6% of all students to 12.3% during the study period, from the 199192 school year to 2000-01. During this period, 33 states and the District of Columbia had bounty funding systems, which create financial incentives to place children in special education. Sixteen states had lump-sum funding systems, which do not create such incentives. New Hampshire had no state funding system until 1999. There is a statistically significant positive relationship between bounty funding systems and growth in special education enrollment. Bounty funding results in an additional enrollment increase of 1.24 percentage points over ten years.

According to Peter Ryan, analyst for London-based Datamonitor, speech technologies derived from education were 3.8 percent in 2004, a figure that is expected to grow to 9.7 percent by 2007. The main areas in which speech technology is used today are course education, grade reporting and fee payment because all of these areas are easy to automate. Datamonitor also expects those to be the biggest areas of growth in the next few years.

High on our list of post-election concerns: the Senate HELP Committee, crucial for IDEA reauthorization, is now to be chaired by Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) rather than Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA). We have our work cut out for us, and we anticipate a tempestuous spring legislative season.
