Washington County Public Schools: Special Ed Identifying disabled Children. The washington County Public School System provides who, by reason thereof, needs special education and related services. http://www.wcs.k12.va.us/departments/specialed/identifying_disabled_children
Extractions: The Washington County Public School System provides a free and appropriate public education for all identified eligible disabled students, ages birth to 21, residing within Washington County. Disabled children are those children who manifest one or more of the following impairments and who, because of those impairments, need special education. The State of Virginia uses the following definitions: Autism means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age 3, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. Deaf blindness means concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational problems that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for deaf or blind children.

Extractions: If you are a parent of a child with special needs and considering homeschooling, you undoubtedly have many questions and concerns. Youre not alone, but you probably know more about homeschooling than you realize. For example, youve spent the first five years of your childs life as his most important "teacher." In addition, if your child has been in public school, youve probably spent many evenings and weekends helping your child do homework. Guess what? Youve been homeschooling. Has homeschooling been hard? Sometimes. Interesting? Who said living with children with special needs is boring? Can it be done? Yes! Homeschooling isnt a cure, and it is easier for some families than for others. However, homeschooling has rapidly become a respected alternative, especially for those children with special needs who are being pushed out of public schools. It's not my place to diagnose, label, or tell you how to homeschool your child with special needs. And the issues of medication and counseling belong within the scope of each familys decision-making process. However, with the one-on-one learning that parents provide in a homeschool environment, children with special needs can soar.

Extractions: Helping Children Overcome Reading Difficulties Books on Learning Disabilities The Survival Guide for Kids With LD : Learning Differences Negotiating the Special Education Maze : A Guide for Parents and Teachers The Difficult Child Advertisement Over 50 years of research on children with many types of disabilities receiving a range of specialized services in many different settings has produced evidence that early intervention can: (1) ameliorate, and in some cases, prevent developmental problems; (2) result in fewer children being retained in later grades; (3) reduce educational costs to school programs; and (4) improve the quality of parent, child, and family relationships. Much of what we know about early intervention effectiveness is drawn from this diverse historical base of information. More recently, researchers have begun asking a more rigorous and differentiated question: For whom and under what conditions is early childhood intervention most effective? This more sophisticated question focuses on the effects of various interventions for specific groups of children relative to the type of program they received. Data from well-controlled research studies indicate that young children with disabilities (e.g., Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, sensory impairments), and those who evidence biological (e.g., low birth weight, premature) and environmental risk factors make significant gains on both qualitative and quantitative measures of development when provided appropriate services. The involvement of their parents in reinforcing critical skills in natural contexts is an important factor associated with the magnitude of the child's progress (Guralnick, 1989).
Computing Services For Physically Disabled Students To begin the process of addressing the computing needs of disabled students it is recommended that schools list the computing services that they provide to http://staff.washington.edu/sherylb/discomp.92.html
Extractions: Introduction At one time computer use in higher education was limited to scientific and technical fields of study. The introduction of the microcomputer along with inexpensive, versatile, and easy-to-use applications software has made computer technology increasingly available and useful to students and faculty. Many courses of study now require computer use. Adaptive equipment that allows students with physical disabilities to access computer applications used in post-secondary education is commercially available. This technology has the potential to neutralize handicapping conditions, making it possible for many more people with disabilities to independently and successfully pursue academic studies and careers. Purpose and Goals of the Study A survey was conducted in the state of Washington to determine what computing services are being provided to disabled students on other campuses, what units are involved in selecting, purchasing and managing these services, what locations are used to provide access to computers adapted for disabled students, and what success physically disabled students have experienced in using computers. This study addressed the following questions: What computing services have institutions of higher education provided to physically disabled students? What types of computer adaptive equipment are available? Who is involved in selecting, funding, and managing computing services for disabled students?

ELLs With Special Needs - CAL Resource Guide Online Identification of English language learners with special needs should include ESL Instruction for Learning disabled Adults. ERIC Digest. washington http://www.cal.org/resources/faqs/rgos/special.html
Extractions: ERIC Documents Several factors influence the identification of English language learners with special needs. Limited prior schooling, lack of proficiency in English, native language background, cultural expectations, and personal or family concerns can all influence a learnerçs academic progress. It can be difficult to distinguish between a learning disability and learning problems caused by a variety of other factors. English language learners whose difficulties in school stem from these factors may be misidentified as having a learning disability. In other cases, English language learners who have a learning disability may not be properly identified on the assumption that their learning problems stem from linguistic and cultural differences. To further complicate matters, special needs may not have been identified in the learner's native language but may become evident as the student is learning English. Traditional identification instruments designed for English speakers may not be valid with English language learners. Identification of English language learners with special needs should include consideration of the following factors:
Reforms Crucial To Special Education Teachers of special needs children cited excessive paperwork and too many a positive role in opening the doors of public schools to disabled children, http://www.cato.org/current/school-choice/pubs/gryphon-020614.html
Extractions: Archives Hurricane Katrina Archives by Marie Gryphon June 14, 2002 Marie Gryphon is a policy analyst with the Cato Institute's Center for Educational Freedom. The Washington Education Association recently released a survey revealing that two-thirds of the state's special education teachers plan to quit over the next five years. Teachers of special needs children cited excessive paperwork and too many meetings as leading reasons for their decision to hit the road, exacerbating a serious existing shortage of qualified personnel. Predictably, the WEA used these results to call for two favorite union remedies, higher pay and smaller class sizes. Union President Charles Hasse said the survey confirms "a compensation and workload crisis among special ed staff." In fact, Washington's teachers and students would benefit most from a rarer prescription - fundamental reform. Washington is held hostage to a federal statute that governs nearly every aspect of special education. Passed in 1975, the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) mandates a complex series of meetings, paperwork, notice requirements and legalistic due process procedures for developing each disabled child's educational plan.
