Extractions: Past, Present, and Future St. Joseph's School for the Blind was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace in 1891. During the early years St. Joseph's provided both a traditional and an enriched extra-curricular program, usually residential, to an average and above average academic population of students who were blind. In 1960, following the integration of many of these children into public schools, St. Joseph's began to focus more on students who were not only blind or partially sighted but also had severe additional disabilities and were desperately in need of quality and comprehensive services. With a wealth of over 100 years experience in special education, St. Joseph's still remains the only school of its kind in the State of New Jersey. And where we are today...
Extractions: The untold story of special education O Upon greater scrutiny, this oft-repeated scenario does not hold up. For years, many students with the worst disabilities have attended private schools at partial or even full public expense. Far from abandoning the needs of special education students, the private sector is supplying what the public school system has failed to provide. More specifically, public school districts currently foot the bill for more than 100,000 special education students attending private schools at an estimated cost of $2 billion to taxpayers, according to U.S. Department of Education figures and industry estimates. In most of these cases, public schools have come to rely on specialized private schools to educate their toughest disability cases, when doing it themselves would be prohibitively expensive. "A voucher isn’t really the right analogy," says Mike Petrilli, program director of the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, which supports education reform efforts from a conservative perspective. "It’s really closer to contracting, like the Edison Project," the for-profit school management company that manages more than 50 public and charter schools across the nation. "But it makes a lot of sense to contract out this function to a company that can pool its resources."

NJLM - Dover's Council On Developmental Disabilities talking with similarly situated mothers and fathers throughout new jersey.Dover Mayor Paul Brush poses with special citizens (L to R) Josh Ferris, http://www.njslom.org/featart0405.html
Extractions: A s the parents of two developmentally disabled boys, we have spent years dealing with government agencies and private professionals/ service providers on issues relative to our children's health, education, and well-being. We have also spent years talking with similarly situated mothers and fathers throughout New Jersey. Dover Mayor Paul Brush poses with special citizens (L to R) Josh Ferris, Danielle Abrahamsen, Jay Chawda and Todd Wilson. As a result of these experiences, we gradually learned a simple truth: notwithstanding everyone's best intentions, governmental agencies and private service providers do not always see eye-to eye with parents. Rather, there are often huge communication gaps and mutual negative perceptions which impair the ability of both sides to work together effectively. Parents often perceive agencies and providers as insensitive, incompetent or both. Agencies and service providers sometimes unofficially label certain parents as "difficult." Consequently, those who suffer most in this dynamic are the disabled children, whose best interests are supposed to be the paramount concern of all involved. Against this backdrop, we set out two years ago to initiate and develop a pilot project in our hometown municipality, Dover Township (also known as Toms River). The goal of the project was to create an arm of our local government specifically dedicated to the needs of children and young adults with developmental disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. This arm of government would be composed of parents, family members, service providers and government agencies all working together to help develop policies and programs of significance to the developmentally disabled community. The end result was the inception of the Dover Township Mayor's Advisory Council on Developmental Disabilities (MACDD).
Extractions: 24 July 2005 - Childhood, we tell ourselves, should be that blissful state of innocence and joy, but this is often not the case for children who are disabled. I learned this first-hand on my voyage of discovery, travelling to visit organisations working with the disabled, and in particular with children. In so many places, I found that to be a disabled child is to live in a gray zone - a place of neglect, despair, and isolation. Branded as the "cursed" one, punishment for bad karma in a previous life, a disabled child is destined to carry the burden of nature's cruel dispensation the rest of his or her life. But great misery also moves some people to great service, and in the many organisations I visited, I found hope too, and a humanity reaffirmed by the dedication of those who work there. This is my recollection of my journey, but it is also their story. I began my journey in Delhi. One early morning, Avijit Dey, the development officer of Deepalaya, an institution for handicapped and disadvantaged children, drove me to the Okhla Industrial area. We stopped at the entrance to a narrow lane and walked toward an area known as Gole Kuan (round well) where one of Deepalaya's schools is located. I have been in slums before, but the combination of the children's disabilities and their surroundings - open sewers and piles of garbage on both sides of the street - depressed me. How can they learn in such dismal conditions, I wondered sadly.

Overview/Programs school district, established through an act passed by the new jersey Legislature Distinguished as the first special services school district in new http://www.bergen.org/Update/overview.html
Extractions: Visitors to our many campuses are often surprised to learn of the size and breadth of the District. We serve a diverse population which includes students in magnet high schools and vocational/technical programs; adults seeking post-secondary, professional training; and developmentally and physically disabled individuals from pre-school through over-21. The district includes three entities under one administrative umbrella: Bergen County Technical Schools, Bergen Workforce Center and Bergen County Special Services. Until 1995, BCTS and BCSS operated as two separate County schools. The merger that year brought Special Services under the direction of the existing Technical School administrative team. In addition, the district has entered into a number of inter-local agreements with area Boards of Education, to provide administrative, business office and technology services as needed. In December of 2001, Bergen County Technical Schools entered into a unique partnership with the Englewood Board of Education, to present a new magnet school program, Academies @ Englewood. Through an inter-local agreement, the District also provides administrative oversight of the Englewood Public Schools.

Extractions: Finding out that your child has a medical condition can be very difficult for a family, particularly if that child is faced with surgery or a long recovery. It may be helpful to know that there are many school programs in place to help a child through this difficult time. A child may be entitled to special education services under the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). Below is a brief outline of services that may be available for your child and the steps needed to request these services. Keep in mind that each state may have different requirements for a child to receive special education services Age Range Students from age 5 through 21 are entitled to special education services if they qualify. Some states provide services to infants and toddlers and to children ages 3 to 5. Your local school should be able to tell you if they provide services for children under age 5. Request for Referral Individualized Education Program (IEP) Section 504 Collaboration Parent Advocates Related Services Confidentiality of Information Variety of Services Available There is a wide range of possible services available. Some students stay in their general education classroom but receive small modifications to curriculum to facilitate their learning.

It is important to understand the wide variety of special education services available.
