Extractions: Second, the legislation includes language that builds on existing guarantees of equitable treatment of charter schools. The language requires districts to provide equitable services to disabled students in charters and requires states and districts to distribute special education funds to charter schools on the same basis and at the same time as they distribute funds to traditional district schools. The reauthorization of IDEA will allow parents and schools to change a student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) with fewer procedural requirements than in the past. It also provides greater opportunities for families and districts to avoid litigation and seeks to reduce paperwork and filing requirements for teachers and schools. The legislation also reforms disciplinary procedures, enabling schools to apply the same student sanctions for the same infractions, unless the discipline problem is the direct result of a child's disability. The reauthorization also increases special education funding and creates a schedule that will have the federal government paying 40% of special education costs in six years.

The following offers information and resources for different topics about transportation. Purchasing and modifying a car or van is an involved process. Since vehicle modifications can be expensive, generally ranging from $20,000 to $80,000, it is well worth your time to be prepared and to research all your options. The following are some suggestions. Evaluate your needs: You will want to have your needs evaluated by a professional, such as your child's doctor or therapists. Most children's hospitals offer clinics that are specific to addressing transportation needs. These clinics are normally attended by a physical medicine or rehabilitation specialist, occupational and physical therapists, and representatives from local durable medical supply companies. They will recommend types of child safety/restraint systems that you should use and the type of vehicle that may best suit your child's needs. They may take care of ordering the safety/restraint systems, but it is up to you to do the research for the type of vehicle that you will need. Conduct research:

Extractions: Special Needs Children and their Entitlement to Transportation Most children in this country are required to attend school, and generally, how they get there is a matter of school district policy. There is no requirement that schools provide all children with transportation, and many schools, especially those in urban areas, do not provide transportation to their students. However, children with disabilities often have unique concerns that do not allow them to get to school as safely or as easily as their peers. And as schools continue to tighten their budgets, transportation often becomes a target for cut-backs. Who is entitled to transportation? There are four main instances in which a school district is required to provide transportation to disabled students. They are: A district is also required to provide transportation to some private school students. If a district is providing special education services to the child, and transportation is required for the child to receive benefit from the services, then the district must provide transportation to those services. A typical example is where the local school district is providing speech or occupational therapy to a disabled child who is otherwise being educated at a private school. Courts have held that the district must provide the transportation necessary for the child to benefit from his or her special education services.

Extractions: Barbara J. Wurzel Multi-handicapped is a term that tries to define children who have two or more sensory disabilities (blind-deaf) or who are severely disabled and whose educational needs make it impossible to serve them in any program except one for children with multiple handicaps. This category includes children who exhibit two or more of the following: hearing impairment or deafness; deafness and blindness; visual impairment or blindness; developmental disorders; physical disabilities; other health problems; severe behavior disorders; speech disorders and moderate, severe or profound deficits in communication and adaptive behavior; or a moderate to profound developmental handicap with moderate to profound deficits in socialization, communication or adaptive behavior. Children and youth with severe or multiple handicaps may exhibit a wide range of characteristics, depending upon the combination of handicaps, the child's age, and the severity of the disabilities. There are, however, some traits that these children may share including: limited speech or communication; difficulty in basic physical mobility; inability to care for themselves; failure to relate or attend to others; the tendency toward self injury or abuse; and long-term medical needs. Many different medical problems may accompany severe handicaps. A few examples include: seizures; hydrocephalus (skull enlargement due to pressure from excess fluid within the cavities of the brain); and scoliosis (curvature of the spine). These conditions need to be taken into consideration when establishing the child's Individual Educational Plan (IEP). Professional support is necessary in areas where the child demonstrates problems.
