Special education means specially designed instruction, services or programs, provided at no cost to the parent, to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. Special education services and programs may be provided individually to a student or in a group with other students with similar educational needs. Each school district's Committee on Special Education makes recommendations about appropriate special education services and programs, which are described in detail in a written plan for each child, known as the Indivdualized Education Program (IEP). Special education may include specially designed instruction or supplementary instruction and services provided in the general education class, help from a consultant teacher, resource room programs, special classes, home and/or hospital instruction or programs and services provided in other public or private schools.

AudioVideo Tuesday, 13 March, 2001, 11:04 GMT Disabled pupils 'challenge barriers' Report says integrating disabled children has benefits Children develop a more positive attitude to disability when learning alongside disabled pupils, research suggests. In a survey of 27 schools covered by the government's schools access initiative (SAI), researchers found pupils displayed a greater level of tolerance and more sensitive behaviour, such as refraining from running in corridors. Integration has seen barriers broken down, the report says None of the schools reported cases of bullying and two specifically said there had been none. The government is giving details of how £50m for improving access to schools for disabled children will be allocated - the first instalment of £220m to be spent in England over the next three years. The Pricewaterhouse Coopers report, Within Reach, was commissioned by the national disability charity Scope and the National Union of Teachers and was published as the Centre for Policy Studies was hosting a debate on the future of special educational needs schooling. The study applauded the government's investment in the SAI of £220m over three years and recommended it continue to support the scheme, which seeks to integrate disabled pupils into mainstream education.

Links Evaluation report GAM 2000/800: Disabled Children in Mainstream Schools Executive summary Background The survey on disabled children in the mainstream schools was introduced to assess the problems and constraints that beset both the disabled students and teachers in the learning and physical environments of the schools. This volume of the 1998 National Disability Survey gives information on the type of disability among children in mainstream schools, their coping strategies and issues of normalisation. Purpose / Objective The main objective of this section of the National Disability Survey, 1998, was to examine the utilisation of mainstream primary schools by parents for the education of their disabled children. As such, issues of capacity and limitation of the primary schools in meeting the needs and demands for the disabled children are assessed. Capacity issues examined dealt with the integration and normalisation efforts within the primary school cycle. Efficiency of the schools in terms of registration, retention, acquisition of basic life and learning skills for disabled children and dropouts have also been examined for the ultimate development of an integrated education scheme. Methodology The country was divided into two parts: the Western part, which has nearly 50% of the population and 34% of all the schools, and the rest of the country. 17 schools were selcted from the Western part wtih 15,685 pupils or 12.6% of the overall enrolment; 42 schools were selected from the rest of the country with 10,909 pupils or 8.7% of overall enrolment. The survey covered 717 children with disabilities from age 5 to 19 years.
