Internet for the Disabled Community: The Singapore Experience tinwee@irdu.nus.sg dpa@pacific.net.sg annequek@rainbow.sad.org.sg tmtan@keller.ssd.ac.sg ... dkiong@iscs.nus.sg Abstract Internet technologies reduce the barrier between people labeled as "disabled" and the majority of the population. On the network, being blind or deaf or unable to walk constitutes no major impediment. Using the Internet, intra-disability and cross-disability communications can also be enhanced. Beginning with the hearing impaired community in Singapore, we have set up Internet-connected computer networks for the disabled community since 1994. The Singapore School for the Deaf (SSD), a primary school and kindergarten, was first to have two computer clusters connected to the Internet ( http://www.dpa.org.sg/SSD ). Courses were held for SSD school teachers and training was given on how to build their Web pages. In addition, introductory lessons were given to the pupils. For the first time, hearing impaired children can communicate with each other directly using Internet Relay Chat, Unix talk and email. Teachers began to conduct regular enrichment sessions for these children, and supervised their surfing of the Internet. Today, learning the use of the Internet has become part of the curriculum at the school. From 1994 to 1995, the Singapore Association for the Deaf (SAD) set up two computer clusters to access the Internet, one for the administrative staff and one for hearing impaired members, particularly the young people. We conducted Internet lessons on a regular basis, with one computer cluster opened in the evenings for users to upgrade their computer and network literacy (

CEC TODAY ONLINE Your browser does not support script Vol. 11 No. 2 Oct.-Nov.-Dec. 2004 www.cec.sped.org inside Back to CEC Today Main Page Special Education at a Crossroads With the many changes engendered by No Child Left Behind, state standards, and inclusion, special educators say we need to examine current special education practices. The complex issues we face defy easy answers. For some special educators, it's an exciting time. For others, a time of uncertainty and fear. What is clear is that special education is at a crossroads, the direction we are going in is undefined, and the issues are complex. Just a few of the questions special educators are asking include: Should students with disabilities be required to meet the same standards as their non-disabled peers? Will disability categories remain or will they fade away? Is a special education teacher a content specialist or an instructional strategist? What certification/ preparation does an educator need to fulfill the role of special education teacher? Because the answers to these questions will determine the future of special education and whether we are best serving students with disabilities, many experts say this is a time when we need to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the direction we are going in. Following is a discussion of the issues the field is facing in this time of change.

Todd Tiahrt will speak this afternoon on the floor of the House of Representatives in support of H.R. 4055, which amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to authorize funding to reach the federal government's goal of providing 40 percent of the national average per pupil expenditure. This legislation calls for a $2 billion consecutive yearly increase in special education funding, ending with the full federal funding total of $25 billion in fiscal year 2010. Rep. Tiahrt has been a strong supporter of this legislation and met with the United Teachers of Wichita and special education teachers on April 24, 2000. Full federal funding of special education is the top federal education priority for USD 259 and the state of Kansas, according to Gov. Bill Graves. Below is the text of Rep. Tiahrt's speech that will be covered this afternoon on C-Span, Channel 44 in Wichita. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this legislation. I also want to praise Chairman Goodling and the members of his committee for their outstanding work on this legislation.

However, unlike ordinary Social Security recipients, SSI recipients must meet certain income and financial resources tests to qualify for the program's benefits. You are not limited on the number of applications you may make for these benefits. If benefits are denied on the first application, that does not mean that benefits will be denied on the second application. Furthermore, if benefits are denied, reduced or terminated, you have a right to request reconsideration and, if necessary, a hearing before an administrative law judge.
