At the end of a busy school year and into their summer vacations, many vision professionals took the extra time to respond to the survey. For this, APH and the field of visual impairment will be forever grateful. Summary The educator's single most important goal with children and adults who have severe disabilities is to encourage and develop the capacity and motivation to communicate and relate to the world around them, (Korsten, Dunn, Vernon, and Francke, 1989). Jan Van Dijk wrote that the lack of language influences very deeply the behavior of the child. Although Van Dijk's approach has been identified almost exclusively with programs for the deaf-blind, its focus on the cognitive and social precursors to language suggests applicability to broader populations of children who have severe disabilities (Battle and Stillman, 1984).

Extractions: Lauren Bridge is the Oregon Project Coordinator for the Measuring Outcomes Project, a Maternal and Child Health Bureau grant at Providence Child Center in Portland Oregon. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the usefulness of an instrument for assessing functional development in children with special health care needs and evaluate their experience of care within a managed care system. Her professional interest is to continue educating and informing communities and the political process of the issues important to people with disabilities. Her professional activities include being the Oregon Chapter Coordinator of Family Voices, a member of the Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education Advisory Council and the County Self-Directed Support Commission, among other activities. Lauren co-authored a guide entitled, "Passport: A Managed Care Guide for Children with Special Health Care Needs." Sunny is the proud parent of a child with a developmental disability. Her child was the first in her district to be fully included in a "regular elementary school", while receiving related services in her home school district. Because of the success of her daughter's inclusion, the district now promotes full inclusion as an option to any disabled child. Sunny is a successful businesswoman, mother of four daughters and a happily married wife, managing two companies and a nonprofit organization called Asian Advocates for Special People (AASP). She founded this organization in Los Angeles, California in 1994 due to difficulties of dealing with daily tasks of her daughter's school, medical services and family support issues, which arose from not knowing how to cope with her daughter's disability. "I had no where to go to obtain resources or support from my relatives, or the Korean community, because disabled people are shunned upon as a virus or disease to be avoided."

Behind The Growing Number Of Special Needs Children We know that record numbers of children with special needs are entering the child Children with chronic conditions often run into difficulty at school. http://sswnt7.sowo.unc.edu/fcrp/Cspn/vol2_no3/behind_the_growing_number.htm
Extractions: June 1997 Behind the Growing Number of Special Needs Children We call them "special needs" children. Some are HIV positive, others have full-blown AIDS. Some are born prematurely, some are born addicted to drugs. Others have physical handicaps or are developmentally delayed. All of them have one or more medical conditions that seriously affect their bodies, their behavior, and the lives of those who care for them. In recent years, departments of social services have seen a dramatic rise in the number of children with special needs. Many social workers, even those with years of experience, may be daunted by the tasks of learning about these children, assessing their safety, and arranging for foster and adoptive placements that meet their complex needs. In this article we will address the following questions: Why have the numbers of these challenging children increased so sharply? What should social workers know about the risks faced by special needs children? Most importantly, what can social workers do to support these children and the families who care for them? Increasing Numbers Across the country, more and more children are coming into foster care with serious medical problems. In 1986, estimates indicated that between 29 and 41 percent of the young children coming into care in the United States had serious medical problems. That percentage shot up to 62 percent in 1991, and this figure is thought to be a conservative one (MacLafferty, 1994). North Carolina is just beginning to collect data on special needs children involved with social services (Fulton, 1997).
Extractions: The main goal of transition planning is the same for all students, regardless of their abilities or goals: preparation for the world of work. For most students, high school graduation marks a jumping-off point: some go straight to work, some to apprenticeships, some to community college, and some to college. But there's nothing magical about the number 18. When your child reaches the age of legal majority, he may still need your assistance. How much help he'll need will depend entirely on the severity of his symptoms, and on how well you have been able to plan for the future. In this chapter, we'll look at transition planning: the process of smoothing your teenager's transition into the adult world through careful educational, vocational, financial, and medical preparation. There are two kinds of transition planning: a formal process that will be part of your child's IEP and that will concentrate on school and employment issues, and a family process that covers legal, financial, and personal concerns.
