CAST: Universal Design for Learning skip navigation site map Search Home About CAST Professional Development Publications ... NCAC Publications Limited English Proficient Students and Special Education Some school districts have at times confused the educational needs of limited English proficient (LEP) students with the special education services required by students with disabilities. This confusion and the consequent inappropriate referral of LEP students to special education raises the question of whether LEP students identified as requiring special education are receiving a free and appropriate public education as required by federal law . Inappropriate referral to special education can be stigmatizing and costly, inhibiting LEP students from achieving their full academic potential and diverting special education resources from students with actual disabilities and needs. Specialists assume that approximately the same proportion of students with disabilities will be found in any population. Based upon this assumption, statistically, about 12% of the language minority population in the United States should require special education. But generally, language minorities are over-represented in programs for the learning disabled.

Brief Synopsis Elizabeth Ellis has built her professional life helping families to prepare for the day when parents are no longer able to care for their disabled children; now she anticipates taking on responsibility for her own 37 year-old brother Danny, who has a developmental disabilities. Danny works as a laborer and presently lives at home with his parents. Ellis seeks balance as she takes on an increasing role in Danny's life. Her affection for her brother is apparent, as is her pride in his accomplishments (such as graduating from high school and competing in the Special Olympics). At the same time, she feels the weight of responsibility: "One of the biggest things I am concerned about is what is going to happen to him when my parents are no longer able to care for him, and ultimately that burden will fall on me." Questions arise in regard to respecting her parents' wishes for Danny, working with her two other brothers, meshing her own family life with Danny's care. There are also the more practical issues of everyday life: Where should he live? How much guidance is enough? How much independence is the right amount? Should I become his guardian? How do we pay for his needs?

Disability statement (Under review) The School of Advanced Study promotes equal opportunities in all its activities irrespective of disability, ethnic origin, gender, marital status, nationality, politics or sexual orientation. Applicants are accepted on the basis of merit alone. Wherever possible, specialist provision is made to ensure that students with special needs receive the same educational and other benefits as are enjoyed by their fellow students. Past experience and implementation of future provision The School has experience of providing for students and library users with visual or hearing impairments, and with mobility problems. It is currently working to extend the range of its provision of specialist facilities to more areas of the School. To that effect, the School's Academic Policy and Standards Committee appointed a Working Party on Students with Disabilities in February 2000, which surveyed existing provision and made recommendations with regard to the provision of information and facilities, and administrative and teaching procedures. These recommendations are currently being implemented. Coordination Provision for students with disabilities is overseen by the School's Health and Safety Coordinator, reporting to the Directorate, in coordination with the University Staff Development Officer and other University officers as appropriate.

The Duties of Governing Bodies Introduction Since September 1994, whenever schools and LEAs decide what they should do for children with special educational needs, and whenever health services and social services help schools and LEAs take action on behalf of such children, those bodies must consider what the Code says.

March/April 1999 Co-Teaching: Are Two Heads Better Than One in an Inclusion Classroom? By Millicent Lawton When Ronni Swan's principal at Starms Discovery Learning Center in Milwaukee asked her to co-teach this school year with a special educator, Swan balked. A general education teacher, Swan had already had a bad experience trying to co-teach, and the memory made her leery. But the push on co-teaching was part of the multiage elementary school's mission to weave disabled students into all regular classes. So, Swan agreed reluctantly-and then worried. As it happens, her pairing with teacher Paige Richards has worked so well it's made her a believer in co-teaching. "I would never go back to just teaching regular ed [by myself]," Swan says firmly. "It's no fun. It's lonely." Swan also believes the students benefit academically from having two teachers present, each with different strengths. Swan's strong suit is language arts, while Richards' is science. Richards, the special educator, also raves about co-teaching and being able to mix special ed and regular ed children together. "I feel like the benefits of inclusion far outweigh anything in a self-contained [special education] classroom," she says. She cites in particular the progress of one 10-year-old mentally retarded boy she has taught for three years in an inclusion class at the school. When he started in the multiage class, the boy had poor social skills and couldn't stay on task. Now the boy can "tell you what he did over the weekend. He can tell you two or three things in a row, on a topic, and then switch to something else. That's a goal we had for his IEP (Individualized Education Plan)."

DDLeadership Forum Home Journal Archives Search the Forum Feedback Volume , Issue Date: Spring 2004 Topic: Youth with Developmental Disabilities and the Juvenile Justice System School Resource Officers: Powerful Allies A Conversation with: Patrolman Michael Caico, Sandwich Public Schools by LEND Fellow Bob Gilmore Officer Caico, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. You spend much of your day within various school buildings in the Town of Sandwich. Do you ever encounter students with developmental disabilities? I will try to provide you with my perspective as a School Resource Officer for the Sandwich Public Schools. The issues that you are interested in are becoming more commonplace in the school setting. With the cost of sending these students out of district rising, the schools have been trying to satisfy the needs in-house. Which in turn, brings along with it, all the challenges that are associated with teaching these students. Most school staff receive some special training in the area of special education and developmental disabilities to assist them in their day to day encounters with these students. Do police officers receive similar training? The training of a Police officer in the area of Developmental Disabilities is very basic. During the twenty-one week police academy there is only a four hour block dedicated to this topic. Also, there is ongoing training offered, but not all departments can afford to send an officer. Every officer goes for a week of training once a year. This is called In-Service training. During these training sessions, the officers are brought up to date on any new laws that come into play along with any new cases that have changed the way we have approach our job. It is very uncommon that any of the training deals with the Developmentally Disabled.
