Release #7, "The Benefits of Inclusive Education: Making It Work" Federal Disabilities Legislation Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal education program to provide federal financial assistance to State and local education agencies to guarantee special education and related services to eligible children with disabilities, aged birth through 5. Under the legislation, states have the responsibility to provide a free, appropriate public education and must develop an Individualized Education Program for each child served. Parts of this law were formerly known as the Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975, as PL 94-142 and as the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA) of 1986. Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is the state and local grant program.

Extractions: Under Secretary for Management Bureau of Human Resources Family Liaison Office Education and Youth Issues There are unique challenges inherent in raising children with special needs, and this is especially so in the internationally mobile lifestyle of the Foreign Service. There has been a significant effort to increase the number of programs for children with special needs in American-international schools around the world. However, the quality of these programs varies greatly from school to school, and even from year to year. While more children who have mild learning disabilities are adequately served in international schools, children with moderate to severe disabilities still encounter major challenges. In addition to the lack of available programs overseas, very often there is also a lack of other support or therapeutic specialists to serve the requirements of special needs children. The Family Liaison Office strongly urges families to carefully research their options before bidding on and accepting an overseas assignment. There are several offices in the Department of State that work together to assist families of children with special needs. Special Needs Resource Information from the Department of State . Additionally, the Office of Overseas Schools offers the brochure

http://www.autism.org/sibling/sibneeds.html

Extractions: Children in this age group are unable to articulate their feelings about things, so they will likely show their feelings through behaviors. They will be unable to understand the special needs of their sibling, but they will notice differences and try to teach their brother or sister. Children of this age are likely to enjoy their sibling because they have not learned to be judgmental, and their feelings toward their siblings will likely be linked to "normal" sibling interactions. 2. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGE (6 - 12) These children start venturing out into the world and become acutely aware of the differences between people. They have the ability to understand a definition and explanation of their sibling's special need as long as it is explained to them in terms they can understand. They may worry that the disability is contagious or wonder if something is wrong with them, too. They may also experience guilt for having negative thoughts or feelings about their sibling as well as, guilt for being the child who is not disabled. Some typical responses of children this age are to become OVER helpful and well-behaved or to become non-compliant in order to obtain a parent's attention. Throughout this age span, the children will have conflicting feelings about their sibling. This happens in sibling relationships that do not include a disability, too.

Working seven years ago with its national affiliate - the American Federation of Teachers - NYSUT succeeded in assuring that general ed teachers would be represented at the Committee on Special Education, the group that develops and monitors the educational program for students with disabilities under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Now, the statewide union is pressing the state and federal governments to eliminate a provision in the latest version of IDEA which could take teachers, school psychologists and other educational service providers out of the committee if parents and school districts agree their input is not needed. "The federal regulations should assure that states have the continued authority to require the full team when developing or revising a student's Individualized Education Program," said New York State United Teachers Vice President Maria Neira in recommendations to the U.S. Department of Education.
