Extractions: Special Learning Needs Consultant Estimates of the percentage of U.S. school-age children with learning difficulties are as high as 30 percent. [1] In its 1987 report to Congress, the Interagency Committee on Learning Disabilities summarized a review of available learning disabilities prevalence research and concluded that: In the absence of good prevalence data, the Committee believes that 5 percent to 10 percent is a reasonable estimate of the percentage of persons affected by learning disabilities. It is clear the prevalence is somewhat higher among socio-economically disadvantaged populations. [2] In studies conducted by the Presidents Committee on Employment for People with Disabilities it was found that 10 to 14 percent of adults in the workplace have learning disabilities. [3] A survey of 567 adults with learning disabilities conducted by the association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities (now Learning Disabilities Association of America) found that 210 (37 percent) were unemployed.

Education and Youth A child with special needs can be defined as one who differs developmentally from a normal child as a result either of a physical, mental, or emotional handicap, a developmental delay, or a specific learning disability. Both the Handicapped Child and Supplementary Education allowances are available to assist families with the extraordinary costs of providing special educational or related services to their children with special needs. Parents should understand the medical clearance procedures that determine eligibility for the allowances and know which will play a role in the assignment process. Learning disabilities are the most frequently encountered developmental problem among Foreign Service children. EVALUATION OF DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEMS Children with developmental problems will receive educational evaluations as part of the medical clearance process. As soon as it is suspected, parents should describe any developmental problem on the child's medical history form so that evaluation and treatment plans can be formulated early in the child's life. Experts in the field of special education stress the value of early intervention. Children with learning disabilities should not be thought of as abnormal; they simply have a different system for processing information. The key for parents and teachers is to discover what the child's processing system is and to help the child compensate with their strengths when fitting in, as far as possible, to the ordinary educational process.

Special Education Dropouts. ERIC Digest Despite the recent growth of literature concerning high school dropouts, in vermont (1985) report that 28% of a random sample of high school special http://www.ericdigests.org/pre-928/special.htm
Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Handicapped and Gifted Children Reston VA. Special Education Dropouts. ERIC Digest #451. POPULATION Recent state and local follow-up studies confirm this unexplainable attrition rate among students with handicaps. These studies also strongly suggest that the dropout rate among students receiving special education services significantly exceeds the dropout rate among the general school-age population. The St. Paul Public Schools conducted a retrospective examination of the records of 4,500 students in attendance between 1974 and 1977 who left school prior to graduation. They found that up to 80% of the youths who dropped out may have been eligible for special education services. Hippolitus (1980) cited the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped as documenting the dropout rate for special education students at five to six times the rate of youths without handicaps. IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The implications of these findings have special significance for educational policy and practice. More systematic procedures for identifying potential dropouts and better follow-through in providing comprehensive programs that retain students with handicaps must be addressed.
Using Staff Development To Create Inclusive Schools schools need to rely less on standardized tests and begin using new forms Burlington, VT University of vermont, Center for Developmental Disabilities. http://www.nsdc.org/library/publications/jsd/jsdmalar.cfm
Extractions: dqmcodebase = "/" Journal of Staff Development , Summer 1996 (Vol. 17, No. 3) To create inclusive schools, all staff members will have to change the way they view the world of education, including changing paradigms of teaching and learning, teacher support, and staff development practices. "When you see the social aspects at this level, I can't imagine going back to self-contained classes." Janet Healey, Principal School districts are changing their views about educating children with disabilities. Instead of isolated classes, schools are moving toward more inclusive classes for all children. This movement toward "inclusive" classrooms has stirred much debate and polarization in special education. Some parents think that "inclusion is the best thing that has happened for my child"; others call it "an inadequate answer" to solving problems in education. Further, some educators, although sympathetic to many of the problems that disabled students face, are not embracing inclusion as the answer. To adequately address the issues surrounding the inclusive schools movement, let's consider the meaning of inclusion, features of successful inclusive schools, and the professional development that is required to create these schools.
