Print this Factsheet Building regulations, particularly for pupils with special needs This factsheet has chosen a few of the relevant regulations and guidance from the Building Regulations and is by no means comprehensive. It is intended to provide some basic information and pointers for further investigation. They set out the requirements for all building projects. These requirements are shown in schedule 1 and are grouped under thirteen parts. The parts deal with different aspects of building design as follows: A Structure B Fire Safety C Site preparation and resistance to moisture D Toxic substances E Resistance to the passage of sound F Ventilation G Hygiene H Drainage and waste disposal J Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems K Protection from falling, collision and impact L Conservation of fuel and power M Access and facilities for disabled people N All parts relate to school toilets, but Parts F, G, H and M are particularly relevant. Part F looks at the different kinds of ventilation that can be used but specifies that in a non-domestic building all sanitary accommodation and/or washing facilities must have 3 air changes per hour. This is amended in the 2000 Building Regulations to say that 6 air changes per hour in sanitary accommodation are desirable. It refers to the following publication: Building Bulletin 87, Guidelines for Environmental Design in Schools, published by The Stationery Office for the Department for Education and Employment ISBN 0-11-271013-1. Part G looks at hygiene. The number, type and siting of appliances is listed in the relevant documents for the type of building and in the Food Hygiene (general) regulations 1970.

Disabled Kids, Child Advocate and Parent Coaching ADHD News and Information Home ADHD Articles 2001 "Hey, Mr. President, Don't leave the disabled kids behind!" by Philip Matthew Stinson, Sr. Esq. www.specialedlaw.net The proposal is comprised of a variety of key components, many of which would be implemented during the re-authorization of the ESEA. First, the President proposes to close the achievement gap by accountability for high standards as measured by annual academic assessments in Reading and math, as well as consequences for schools that fail to education disadvantaged schools. Second, the President proposes to improve literacy for creating a new emphasis on Reading in early grades and Early Childhood Reading instruction. Third, the President proposes to expand program flexibility and reduce government bureaucracy by allowing commingling of Title I funds with other federal and state funds, increasing funding for technology grants, reducing duplicative efforts by consolidation of grant programs, and creating a charter option to limit requirements of grants for those state and local educational agencies willing to be subjected to rigorous standards of accountability. Fourth, the President proposes to reward success and sanctioning failure by developing a system of accountability rewards through annual assessment of students in grades 3-8, "No Child Left Behind" rewards for schools that have made the greatest progress in improving the achievement of disadvantaged students, and reduction of federal funds at the discretion of the Secretary of Education for states that fail to meet their performance objectives and demonstrate results in academic achievement.

TRANSITIONS FOR SUCCESS: HELPING K-12 STUDENTS MOVE THROUGH THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM by Carmela Cunningham carmelac@aol.com EASI Change is Scary. It usually means new people, a new environment, new equipment, new procedures, and new expectations. But change is also a part of progress. And the way to make sure that life changes are more beneficial than painful, is to understand what is expected and required in a new environment and to carefully plan how to fulfill those new expectations and requirements. Students with disabilities can have a particularly hard time making the usual transitions that take place in the educational process. When a student moves from one educational setting to another, it is a time of anxiety. If that student has a disability, the anxiety is multiplied. The new environment may have to be physically adapted. New classmates will have questions, and new teachers will need information on how to best help the disabled student progress and become an interdependent part of the new classroom or school. MAINSTREAMING One of the main issues facing parents of children with disabilities is whether or not to allow their children to be mainstreamed - put into regular school classrooms. Many people see it as an equality issue. Others see it practically - some children aren't able to learn what they need to learn in regular classes.

Home Business Council Environment ... Disabled Children Special Needs Link For Disabled Young People and The Parents or Carers Of Disabled Children What is The Link? The Link is a list of the names, addresses and other useful information about children and young people with special needs, aged – 19 years, who live in Bath and North East Somerset. The range of needs can be very wide – many children have a condition or difficulty in early life which would not be considered a disability but requires some help to catch up with other children of the same age. The Link is held by Bath and North East Somerset Council on a computer database which can be accessed only by authorised staff. What will the Link be used for? The Link has three main purposes: To send information straight to disabled young people and the parents and carers of disabled children and so keep them up to date with new or developing services. To consult disabled young people and the parents and carers of disabled children about the services they receive and about plans for new services or changes to existing services. To help disabled young people and the parents and carers of disabled children to get in touch with others who have similar experiences or needs, in order to exchange views and information and to form mutual support groups if they wish.

Member States should undertake the necessary measures to eliminate any discriminatory practices with respect to disability. In drafting national human rights legislation, and with respect to national committees or similar coordinating national bodies dealing with the problems of disability, particular attention should be given to conditions which may adversely affect the ability of disabled persons to exercise the rights and freedoms guaranteed to their fellow citizens. Member States should give attention to specific rights, such as the rights to education, work, social security and protection from inhuman or degrading treatment, and should examine these rights from the perspective of disabled persons.

It is often an excellent way of promoting a better participation of disabled people in mainstream society and creating an awareness of the need to focus on the abilities of individuals. Disabled people have been participating in sports for many years. It was at the beginning of the 19th century that members of the medical profession discovered the important contribution that sporting activities could make to promoting the integration of disabled people within society and within the scope of rehabilitation. After the Second World War, when the number of military and civil casualties was extremely high, sport for those with physical disabilities came to play an increasingly important role. The Stoke Mandeville Games, the first competition for wheelchair athletes, was founded on the first day of the Olympic Games in London on 28 July 1948. There are now two major world sporting events for disabled athletes. The first is the Paralympics, which are always held after the Olympic Games and are open to anyone with a physical disability. The second major international competition for disabled athletes is the Special Olympics World Games.

"There's no place near where we live that will take care of someone like him," said Darlene Cassels, a supervisor of his group home in Elk County. So the group home staff drives him three hours to the dental school in Oakland for his dental checkups. But Simon is one of the lucky ones. Dental care is so scarce for state residents with disabilities who receive Medicaid, advocates contend, that they have filed a class action lawsuit against the state. Lawyers recently submitted final written arguments in the case, which is being heard in U.S. District Court for the state's Middle District. Attorneys for the state deny a widespread problem exists, although state officials acknowledge they are working to improve the availability of treatment.

Glossary Special education Special education is a set of services including specially designed instruction, related services, supplemental aids and supports, and transition services that children with disabilities have a right to receive to meet their individualized needs. The delivery of special education services is governed by the federal law called IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). If your child has a disability, she may have many rights under the IDEA. He may also be entitled to accommodations or services under another disability law known as Section 504 In New York City, the system to get those services can be complicated and frustrating. Below is a brief overview of special education, including the process to get services and a basic understanding of your child's rights. There are also some practical tips for parents to help them navigate the special education system. For additional information, you can download Advocates for Children's 38-page guide to special education in New York City.
