Extractions: Such incidents, now commonplace, have led the two major teachers' unions - the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association - along with several professional organizations, such as the National Association of Elementary School Principals, to demand a major overhaul of the IDEA. They believe its provisions have been responsible for allowing the situation to get completely out of hand and they are glad it is before Congress for reevaluation.

Extractions: School officials said they "believe the final outcome of this case will determine how school systems across the country will educate students with special needs. The financial impact of this decision is enormous and would have a negative impact on the school's budget not only locally, but for other school systems across the state and nation."

Extractions: National Center for Learning Disabilities Awardee By Pola Rosen, Ed.D. Education Update (EU): The Kennedy Family has been involved in helping children with special needs for many decades including the Special Olympics. How did you first become involved in special education? Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy (TK): My family became particularly committed to children with disabilities and their families because of our sister Rosemary, who had mental retardation. In many ways, she still had real potential and my parents did their best to see that she could develop as much as possible. But it was obvious to all of us that millions of others had no such opportunities. Disabled children deserve a good education and opportunities to play and compete in sports. EU: What special education organizations and causes have you been affiliated with over the years?
Extractions: by Joan Baum, Ph.D. Her goals, Dr. Cort says, make economic as well as educational sense because it is less expensive to ensure that the disabled get and keep jobs than it is to support their institutionalization (which includes prison, in many cases). Myths still abide, but the truth is that adult constituents, a category that includes those with mental health as well as physical disabilities, tend to be loyal, responsible, and steadfast employees. Much needs to be done to educate employers to deal with relapses and to use referral services, especially those in resident communities. And of course the need remains to educate the public at large and to persuade those dilatory lawmakers.# COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE Name:

Early intervention may begin at any time between birth and school age; however, there are many reasons for it to begin as early as possible. WHY INTERVENE EARLY?

Extractions: NATHHAN National Challenged Homeschoolers Associated Network Christian Families Homeschooling Special Needs Children Home Login Contact Us Resource Room We debated filling this article with helpful hints, but decided to attempt to first build the foundation that is needed to begin home schooling. It is our conviction that many families are striving to meet the standards they have seen the world set for their children. We desire nothing less than God's best for our children, which includes helping them reach their highest educational potential, but not at the expense of losing sight of God's standards for our lives. The last issue of NATHHAN NEWS was a real blessing to us. Reading about your experiences with Attachment Disorder was an encouragement. We have reached many of the same conclusions you have come to. We were beginning to question our sanity as we tightened the circle around us. It is our prayer that Christians will be willing to try to begin understanding families with special needs children.

Extractions: Article Library Family Living Especially for Women Advanced Planning Library ... Annuities and IRAs Planning for Disabled Children The right to an appropriate education at public expense is guaranteed to all children with disabilities, regardless of their family's income, assets and resources. However, careful planning is necessary to preserve eligibility for most of the other publicly funded disability related programs, during the child's minority and especially as the child reaches the age of majority (usually age 18). Basic Will Planning by Parents The use of a carefully drafted will is essential in preparing an estate plan for families in which there are children who have disabilities. One must attempt to maintain the child's eligibility for the basic government services, both to maximize the resources available to meet the child's needs and to ensure access to the public service delivery system. This must be done with a recognition that those basic government services are not going to be adequate to meet all the child's needs. In almost all cases, parents, grandparents, and other relatives should consider making arrangements to the effect that the family member who is disabled does not own or receive legal title to the parents' or relatives' money, real estate or other assets, whether transferred by will, inheritance or gift. This may be good advice even if the child is "legally competent" and only experiences physical or sensory disability. Nor should the disabled individual be designated as a direct beneficiary of any life insurance or retirement programs.

ICEVI Educator - January-June_2003 Picture of a special school with inclusive integration Presentation at theWorld Conference on special needs Education Access and Quality at Salamanca, http://www.icevi.org/publications/educator/June_03/article24.htm
Extractions: Inclusive education is an ideology and not a programme. It is a concept of effective schools where every child has a place to study and teachers become facilitators of learning rather than providers of information. Inclusion is the general goal in developing nations and the ways of facilitating inclusion are many. 1. More than 90% of disabled children are found in the rural areas in India. The special schools as well as integrated education programmes are only a few in number and cannot serve all disabled children. Therefore, inclusive education is needed to provide equal educational opportunities to all disabled children in their own locations. 2. As far as the standardised models of integration are concerned, one specialist teacher serves 8 to 10 disabled children of the same category. This approach is not practical in rural areas. In most villages of the country, disabled children of different categories are present. Therefore, the disabled child has to depend on the general school for education. As a result, inclusion is inevitable for these children from rural areas.
Bill Graves On Education More funding for special education and parental services resources to helpthose with the greatest need, particularly the disadvantaged and disabled http://www.issues2000.org/Governor/Bill_Graves_Education.htm
Extractions: Over the last six years, we have tripled funding for a program that teaches parents how to be better teachers to their children. In special education, six years ago, 67,000 students were served by 8,200 teachers at a cost of $205 million. Now, 10,000 more students are served by 2,700 additional teachers at a cost of $312 million. Thats a 15 percent increase in special education students served by a 33 percent increase in teachers at a cost of 52 percent more.

Extractions: Site Map Ten Questions on IDEA In 1975 Congress passed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA) guaranteeing the right of all handicapped children to a public school education. This act’s name changed to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1990. It has been amended numerous times since its original passage, most significantly as part of its "reauthorization" in 1997. The "reauthorization" included considerable changes relating to the discipline of special education students. This brief Q&A addresses discipline matters under the IDEA. Given regulatory changes and evolving case law, nothing in this document is intended to be the provision of legal advice. 2. What are the procedural requirements for a school system suspending a disabled student from school?
