It is written from the personal perspective of a parent who has shared this experience and all that goes with it. Many things can be done to help yourself through this period of trauma. That is what this paper is all about. In order to talk about some of the good things that can happen to alleviate the anxiety, let us first take a look at some of the reactions that occur.

November 9 - 12, 2005 * Milwaukee Midwest Express Center Governor Terry Branstad of Iowa - Chair Governor Branstad served four consecutive four-year terms as the chief executive of the state of Iowa. He completed his term of office in January of 1999. While in office, Governor Branstad made education a top priority of his administration. His leadership capabilities have been recognized through his chairmanship of the National Governors Association (NGA) (1989), and of the Republican Governors Association (1997), and his leadership in education is exemplified by his chairmanship of the Education Commission of the States (1998). As NGA chairman, he led the historic 1989 education summit in Charlottesville, Va. With the support of President Bush, the summit called for the development of performance-based National Education Goals. Those goals were subsequently adopted by the NGA in 1990. Governor Branstad has had careers as a farmer and an attorney and served his country with the U.S. Army from 1969-1971. He is a native of Leland, Iowa, and he and his wife, Chris, have three grown children.

October 5, 2000 Asperger's Syndrome presents challenges to an Iowa family Jessica Tarbox digital iowa staff reporter Drake University CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa Katie is not learning-disabled. She learns well, draws beautifully, and does well in science class, even though it's not her favorite subject. But Katie Roberts, an Iowa child, has often been lumped together with learning-disabled children in school, linking her, in the minds of her peers and teachers, to children who struggle in classes due to learning disabilities. This is an incorrect connection, developed by the combined efforts of two guilty parties: a lack of understanding and a neurological disorder called Asperger's Syndrome. There was a time, not really very long ago, that most neurological disorders did not have specific names: Attention Deficit Disorder was a phrase unknown to many people and children with dyslexia were categorized as simply "slow." Asperger's is slowly emerging from the psychiatry books and into the public domain, but on the everyday level, on the level of Katie's fellow eighth graders, the word means nothing and significance means even less. Asperger's Syndrome was identified in 1944 and named for Viennese physician Hans Asperger, but the disorder was not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV) until 1994 and, therefore, was not widely diagnosed until a few years ago. The disorder was until recently often hidden under diagnosis of ADD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. People with Asperger's display deficiency in social skills, difficulty with changes, obsessive behavior, preoccupation with a particular subject of interest, and difficulty reading nonverbal clues. Many also show remarkable skill in a specific area, and although some Asperger's-diagnosed people have average IQs, many possess an extraordinary intelligence.

89. Foster Parents Library - Special Needs Section special needs Books. CHILDREN WHO SHOCK AND SURPRISE (rev. ed.) The LearningDisabled Child At Home And At School by Sally L. Smith http://fostercare.org/books/special.htm

Special Needs Books CHILDREN WHO SHOCK AND SURPRISE (rev. ed.) by Elizabeth Randolph, R.N., Ph.D. Do you get confused reading complex, technical books about attachment disorder? Do you wish you could find a basic book that you could give to relatives, teachers, and doctors to help them understand the problem? Would you like to educate others on the difficulties you face when parenting your child with attachment disorder? Then CHILDREN WHO SHOCK AND SURPRISE is for you. This book is designed to provide you with a brief, but complete, description of the causes and symptoms of attachment disorder, some useful parenting tactics, and the most effective treatment techniques. Order from Tapestry Books: #1627 ... $6.95 (Paperback, 42 pages, 1997) HIGH RISK: CHILDREN WITHOUT A CONSCIENCE by Ken Magid, and Carol A. McKelvey "Fascinating" and "Frightening" are two words that could aptly describe this book, much of which is based on the work of Dr. Foster Cline with unattached children at the Cline-Fay Institute in Evergreen Colorado. According to the preface, this book is about "America's future. It is about babies, parenting, genetics, and crime, and how they are vitally connected." Many of us have been shocked and disturbed by the countless reports recently of children and adolescents committing increasingly violent crimes, including vicious murders, with no apparent remorse. This book attempts to answer the questions of why this is happening and why now. The authors contend that many factors, including the changing roles of the American family, more mothers working outside the home, the child care crisis, the epidemic of teen-age pregnancies, high divorce rates, child abuse and neglect, a broken foster care system, and too-late adoptions, all are combining to create a generation of children who are angry and unattached.

June 1999: Cover Story ERIC Express Lines Adviser Word of Mouth ... Links to Advertisers A Duty to the Disabled A Supreme Court ruling reaffirms the requirements of the IDEA By Benjamin Dowling-Sendor Severely disabled students have a right to health services that support their education, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled, and as long as those services can be provided by someone other than a physician, it is the school district's obligation to provide them. The recent decision in Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garret F. reaffirms a 15-year-old Supreme Court ruling on disabled students and clarifies the extent of medical services required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In the earlier case Irving Independent School District v. Tatro, 1984 the court ruled that the IDEA requires school districts to provide (and pay for) "supportive services" to a disabled child that may be necessary to help the child benefit from special education, including health services, as long as they can be provided by personnel other than a physician. The decision in the Cedar Rapids case reaffirms that ruling. Garret F., a student in the Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Community School District, was paralyzed from the neck down at the age of 4 when his spinal column was severed in a motorcycle accident. Fortunately, the injury did not impair his mental faculties. He can speak, use a computer with equipment that responds to head movements, and control his motorized wheelchair by blowing through a straw. Garret has performed well in regular classes.

Photograph by Steve Pope From the Editor: Mike Kilen is a staff writer at the Des Moines Register , but the following article  he wrote for the Cornell Report , the Cornell College alumni magazine. Alumni magazines like to write profiles of interesting or distinguished alumni, so it was not particularly surprising that Peggy Elliott, Second Vice President of the National Federation of the Blind, received a call from her Alma Mater, asking for an interview. Peggy was a bit leery of the idea, knowing all too well that such features all too often turn out maudlin or pretentiously inspirational. She insisted on seeing the finished product for approval before she would agree to schedule the interview or give the reporter the names of other people he could call. The resulting piece was as focused, lively, and decisive as Peggy herself. Here it is, reprinted with permission from the Cornell Report Peggy Pinder Elliott '76 has always bristled at people fawning over her because she is blind.
