Read the full article, Reaching Goals The Special Education program is designed to provide individualized support to students with disabilities, so that they are successful in attaining the outcomes of the general curriculum. For students with intensive needs, alternative plans are developed to help them achieve more functional goals that are defined through the IEP process. Special Education services for students with disabilities are based on students' Individual Education Programs (IEPs) and are designed to complement the general education curriculum. The alignment of IEP goals and benchmarks with the general education content standards supports the students' participation in the Maryland State Assessment program. The IEP guides the implementation of modifications and accommodations utilized to enable the students to access the general education curriculum. The IEPs for students with more intensive needs support participation in the Alternative Maryland State Assessment program.

Teacher-Pupil Ratio In Special Education Descriptors *Class Size; *Disabilities; *Inclusive schools; *Knowledge Base This federally funded study investigated virginia special education program http://ericec.org/faq/classize.html
Extractions: What regulations determine the class size of special education classrooms? What is the ratio of special education students to teachers? The teacher-pupil ratio in special education is determined by each state. Some states have statewide policies on class size; some states have no policy; and a few states let the local education agency (LEA) determine class size. Staffing ratios are usually based on the disability category and educational placement of the student, with classes for children with severe disabilities usually having fewer students. Some states are reexamining their policies to better support students in inclusive settings. As they revise their policies on the teacher-student ratio, they are looking at the intensity of services needed and the amount of time required for the specially designed instruction.

Extractions: By: AGNES DIGGS - Staff Writer Increasing numbers of students with disabilities are joining the ranks of those planning the transition from high school to colleges, universities, career and vocational schools. Their road to college is the same as everyone else's, with one difference: how they make the trip. Laws on the books prohibit schools from discriminating against students with disabilities, but it's important that they and their families realize the rules for higher learning are a whole different ball game compared with elementary and high school. "The difference between high school and college is that they (students) need to take more responsibility," said Loretta Bohl, coordinator of Disabled Student Services at MiraCosta Community College. "We help them, but we need them to take that first step and walk through our door, make contact with us. Some parents want to do it without having the student involved, but we can't do it (that way). If the student is not engaged in the whole process, it doesn't work." Bohl said being part of the planning is an important step toward independence. "We want to teach them advocacy skills, because they're going to have to learn how to advocate for themselves anyway," she said. "So we take baby steps."

We have not been dormant these past few years, only in a rebuilding stage. "Thank You" for your continued support of our organization.. We endeavor to provide informational services to survivors, their families and the professionals who serve them by offering education, support groups, advocacy and prevention services in order to deter the numbers of victims of this awful tragedy and provide a life bridge to our community. So many things have happened in the past few months that give us all a sense of hope and renewal. We have received financial support from several sources including the private sector, public grants, private donations and many individuals who have stepped up to the plate to volunteer. I want to thank all those who have helped us with these endeavors. I especially would like to thank the law firm of Hill, Peterson, Carper, Bee and Deitzler, The Center for Community Independence and Neurological Case Management Associates for their ongoing support for BIAWV. Without their help, we would not be able to provide even minimal support to survivors and families.
