Extractions: Introduction Determining the Least Restrictive Environment for Your Child What Is Supported Inclusive Education? How Does Inclusion Differ From Mainstreaming? ... BACK CHAPTER FOUR Introduction When developing an IEP for your child, it is important to remember that your child is entitled to a free appropriate program implemented in the Least Restrictive Environment. This chapter discusses issues for your consideration when determining placement for your child. According to law, first consideration should always be given to placement in a general education classroom with the use of appropriate supplementary aids and services, often referred to as "supported inclusive education." Inclusion Is A Value We view inclusion as a value, a set of humanistic beliefs that have been encoded in federal law. These laws clearly reflect that individuals with disabilities are valued members of society. Inclusion is a process through which we discover our similarities, rather than our differences, and we focus on our strengths, not our weaknesses.
TalkLeft: Bush Administration Fines Texas Jen, why are you so certain that special needs children are sure to fail those Why is Texas being fined for having too many learning disabled kids? http://talkleft.com/new_archives/010455.html
Extractions: Main Saturday :: April 23, 2005 Bush Administration Fines Texas by TChris Apparently secure in the belief that Texas will forever be a red state, the Bush administration slapped the state for defying the mandates of the administration's signature piece of legislation: No Child Left Behind. For the last two years, the Texas Education Agency has exceeded the federal cap on how many students with learning disabilities can be exempted from regular state testing, mandated by the act, in favor of an easier exam. To quash the defiance, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings fined Texas $444,282 yesterday, a relatively small chunk of the state's $1.1 billion allotment of federal education funds, "and a sliver of the state's $33 billion annual public education budget." That letter imposing the fine was released yesterday evening, the administration's favored time for disclosing unpleasant news. Texas isn't standing alone in its rebellion.

It illustrates ways in which social scientists can be involved in shaping educational practices and policies, focusing on the types of skills that are useful and ways of thinking about the types of collaboration that are needed. Skills discussed are methodological as well as substantive. For collaboration, the model described is that of action research. Approaches are illustrated with personal examples drawn from collaborations with urban state schools.
NACD :: The Journal/articles :: The Journal and the passing of legislation providing for children with special needs, In one school district the child may be labeled as learning disabled, http://www.nacd.org/journal/journal/article15.html
Extractions: Robert J. Doman Jr. Twenty-five years ago, special education was in its infancy. It was virtually impossible for the parents of children with severe problems to obtain any services from their school systems. With the recent development of special education and the passing of legislation providing for children with special needs, funds are now available through state and federal governments to supplement the education of these children. An effort is being made to evaluate and place more and more children, and as a result, the numbers of "special" programs have increased, and many children are being inappropriately labeled and placed in special classes. Special Education Placement and Classification Children are being labeled as learning disabled, hyperactive, neurologically impaired, etc., and are being assigned special class placement, while proper programs are still not available for children with severe problems. Each year, new classifications arise for those individuals who do not "fit" into the regular, "normal" classroom. In some areas, as many as 40 percent of the school population is currently pigeon-holed to fit into one of these categories. Fortunately for most of us, we were attending school during a period when these classifications did not exist. If they had, a large percentage of us would have been placed in special classrooms, attached with special labels.

Extractions: School attendance has a direct impact on a student's level of academic achievement. In order to make the most of one's educational opportunity a student must have consistent, punctual, daily attendance. It is primarily the responsibility of the student to achieve daily, punctual attendance as directed by the Utah Compulsory Education Act, U.C.A. 53A-11-101 et. seq. Parents or guardians and school officials share a responsibility to make earnest and persistent efforts to resolve attendance problems. A parent or guardian is always welcome and is encouraged to call or visit the school for current attendance information regarding his/her student. Parents/guardians are also encouraged to monitor student attendance by accessing the District web site on the Internet (www.Nebo.edu). Attendance Requirement

Extractions: Just a few of the questions special educators are asking include: Should students with disabilities be required to meet the same standards as their non-disabled peers? Will disability categories remain or will they fade away? Is a special education teacher a content specialist or an instructional strategist? What certification/ preparation does an educator need to fulfill the role of special education teacher? Because the answers to these questions will determine the future of special education and whether we are best serving students with disabilities, many experts say this is a time when we need to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the direction we are going in. Following is a discussion of the issues the field is facing in this time of change.
