Life is Good in Ames Help Students "Learn About Life" Community Resources in the DRL Quotation Life is Good in Ames Picture a clean, fresh-smelling apartment with brand-new furniture. Throw in two young people who are proud to live in their new home. This adds up to a recipe for success, and describes two of Ames’ newest residents—beneficiaries of the 2004 Community Living Transition Grant. “I like my apartment,” said one of its new tenants as she shook my hand enthusiastically. It’s easy to see why. The young women each have a private room, allowing the space they need for a comfortable transition to life in the community. The new furniture is stylish and comfortable. A deck in back provides an opportunity to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Both young women take great pride in keeping the apartment clean. “I get to see her more, as before she was so much further away,” remarked one tenant’s brother. Weekly family visits, and occasional home visits, have become a normal routine for this individual. Both young women have begun to learn about their community through shopping trips and attending softball games. One young woman will attend classes at Ames High School this fall, while the other looks forward to community employment.

Updated 10-26-02 GLOSSARY OF SPECIAL EDUCATION TERMS Accommodations - Changes in curriculum or instruction that do not substantially modify the requirements of the class or alter the content standards or benchmarks. Accommodations are determined by the IEP team and are documented in the student IEP. Adapted Physical Education (APE) ­ A diversified program of developmental activities, games, sports, and rhythms suited to the interests, capabilities and needs of children with disabilities who may not successfully engage in a regular physical education program. Age of Majority/Transfer of Rights ­ When a student with a disability reaches the age of 18, all rights accorded to a parent transfer to the student. The parent and student must be informed of the transfer of rights at least one year prior to the student’s 18th birthday. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ­ Federal law requiring accommodations for people with disabilities in the community and workplace. Asperger’s Syndrome - Was first described by German doctor, Hans Asperger, in 1944. Children with Asperger’s have a qualitative impairment in social interactions with marked delays in nonverbal behaviors (i.e., gesturing, facial expression, body posture); impairments in establishing peer relationships; absence of “spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests or achievements with others”; and delays in social reciprocity. Other characteristics that may be present include preoccupation with one restricted area of interest; inflexibility or rigidity, sticking to a set, sometimes nonfunctional routine; stereotypical and repetitive motor movements; sensory problems; movements clumsy and awkward; or preoccupation with parts or objects.

Iowa Education Leader A policy and advocacy update from the Iowa Department of Education * Ted Stilwill, Director * April 30, 2004 NCLB Status Report and Tentative, Recommended Changes to the Law At the beginning of April, the Iowa Department of Education submitted amendments to our state accountability plan under NCLB. These amendments were necessary for Iowa to take advantage of recent flexibility that may be provided by the U.S. Department of Education. While changes have been announced regarding participation rates, testing for Special Education and ELL students, teacher quality, and other areas, each state is required to submit their amendments to gain approval for how they will respond to this flexibility. We requested flexibility in a number of areas and we anticipate some period of dialogue with the USDE before we receive approval. As soon as we can obtain confirmation on what has been approved, we will communicate the results. I want to be very clear: This is not about abandoning the law or diminishing our expectations for students. This is about making the changes that will allow the law to operate effectively. There are those who would prefer to wait to discuss changes for political reasons. As schools and districts are placed on a list for improvement despite the teachers and parents believing and knowing it is an effective school, many educators believe the law will lose credibility. Others feel that discussing changes implies an admission that they don’t believe all children can learn.

18. Educator Info special health care needs are much less likely than their nondisabled peers Young people in iowa who are served by iowa s special Education system http://www.medicine.uiowa.edu/hrtw/educator.htm

Educational Issues For S tudents With Physicals Disabilities Presenting Problem: People with disabilities frequently do not receive the same education as their non-disabled peers, are more likely to drop out of high school and are less than half as likely to pursue post-secondary education. Background: People with disabilities have a lower level of educational attainment than people without disabilities. For example, 34% of people with disabilities have less than a high school education compared with 14% of non-disabled people. Less than one-third of high school graduates with disabilities go on to secondary education. The law requires that students with disabilities be educated in general education settings but only 40% are in regular classrooms. One possible reason is that the Federal Government pays up to 40% of the cost of educating students in special placements. Many students with disabilities must fight to be a part of regular education classrooms and the general education curriculum. However, placing students in these situations without the proper training for teachers or adequate paraprofessional staff to assist in making accommodations is inappropriate.

Inclusion: theory and practice Inclusive Education in the Indian Context By Indumathi Rao, Regional Coordinator, CBR NETWORK (South Asia) Paper prepared for the presentation in the meeting on inclusive education organised by NCERT, 16-17 September 2003, New Delhi. India is a signatory to or participated in the United Nations Rights of the Child, United Nations Standard Rules on the Equalisation of Opportunities, the Jomtien Declaration on Education for All and the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action. "... Schools should accommodate all children regardless of their physical, intellectual, emotional, social, linguistic or other conditions." (Article 3, Salamanca Framework for Action) "Regular schools with this inclusive orientation are the most effective means of combating discriminatory attitudes, creating welcoming communities, building an inclusive society and achieving education for all; moreover, they provide an effective education to the majority of children and improve the efficiency and ultimately the cost-effectiveness of the entire education system." (Article 2, Salamanca Statement) This framework stems from the messages of the Jomtien World Declaration on Education for All (1990) and was reaffirmed in the Dakar Framework for Action (2000): Rule 6 of the UN Standard Rules for Persons with Disabilities states: Why inclusive is different from integrated education?
