Kansas Guidelines for Implementation of Early Childhood Special Education Services SERVICES FOR CHILDREN BIRTH THROUGH FIVE YEARS OF AGE Mission Statement Introduction Family Involvement Child Find ... References MISSION STATEMENT Early intervention provides the necessary services to enable young children who experience or are at risk for developmental delays to progress toward the maximum of their abilities. When these services are provided in a timely and appropriate manner, and in the context of the family, the need for further intervention can often be eliminated or reduced. The family should be the primary focus in assessment and intervention activities. Collaboration with the family is essential to meet the developmental needs of young children. Recognizing the variable nature of young children's performance and the potential for rapid change in their developmental status, assessment and diagnosis should be undertaken with caution. Assessment should focus on children's developmental needs and be linked directly to intervention. Consequently, administrative structures and funding mechanisms for services to young children should not require assigning specific diagnostic labels. No single agency is capable of meeting all of the needs of young children with or at risk for developmental delays. The utilization of interagency collaboration is essential and will produce the most comprehensive and uninterrupted service. These services should be multi-disciplinary, and to the maximum extent appropriate, delivered in settings which are typical for young children and which include a predominance of normally developing children.

This task force has been assembled in an effort to better understand the implications of federal regulations and other legislation aimed at helping students with disabilities learn to their potential, namely the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) and No Child Left Behind (NCLB). “Educators in every state in our nation want to improve the learning outcomes for student with disabilities,” said Terry Bergeson, Washington State’s Superintendent of Public Instruction and chair of the CCSSO Task Force. “We must take advantage of this opportunity to move away from our heavy emphasis on compliance to a stronger focus on higher learning and achievement levels for all students with special needs.”

67. State Board Of Education Passes Changes To Licensing Regulations : Wednesday, Ju State Board of education passes changes to licensing regulations It s a new way of thinking for kansas, Wissman said. It emphasizes performance rather http://www.kstatecollegian.com/issues/v104/su/n162/news/cam.education.foster.htm

Wednesday, June 28, 2000 State Board of Education passes changes to licensing regulations Nancy Foster Kansas State Collegian Speech pathology majors will be seeing some changes due to new licensing regulations recently passed by the State Board of Education. Prior to the new regulations, speech pathology majors wanting to work in school systems received two kinds of credentials: a certificate through the College of Education and a license through their profession or business. With the new licensure program, educators no longer receive certificates. They receive licenses, and with that comes different standards and requirements. Under the new regulations, speech pathology majors will no longer receive certificates, now called licenses, through the College of Education. They only need their license through their employer. Julie Schraeder-Neidenthal, director of clinical service, said while many think having only one license is a good thing, she does not. In order to be certified through the State Board of Education, speech pathology majors had to complete two externships, one working in an adult medical site and one in a child education site. Completing both was required in order to be certified through the board. Now that the only license comes through their profession, both externships might not be required by K-State. Schraeder-Neidenthal said she's afraid not having this requirement will have a negative effect.

Kansas Sexuality Education Law The Kansas Education Regulations require each board of education to provide schools with a "comprehensive program in human sexuality, including information about sexually transmitted disease, especially acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)." This instruction does not have to include information about contraceptive methods. The program must be taught at both the elementary and secondary levels by teachers who are certified in sexuality education. The Education Regulations also require local school boards to develop procedures by which parents or guardians can remove their children from any or all of these classes. This is referred to as an "opt-out" policy. See Kansas Administrative Regulation 91-31-20(b). Recent Legislation SIECUS is not aware of any recent legislation in Kansas regarding sexuality education.
