Disability Definitions
T
he Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, as amended, identifies 13 specific disabilities. They range from autism to orthopeadic impairments to visual impairments. Listed here are descriptions of these disability terms developed by the Thirteenth National Conference on School Transportation, and published in the Final Recommendations of the Conference in the National School Transportation 2000 Revised Edition , pgs. 290-291. This 360 page document is considered a definitive resource about transportation principles. Information on where to obtain the Publication is provided at the bottom of this page. (Image courtesey of

(c)] Meanwhile, detailed information about the 13 disabilities can be obtained from the National Information Center for Children and Youth. Visit the Center's website find Disability Fact Sheets and Briefing Papers which cover the definition, incidence, characteristics, and educational implications about each of these conditions. Autism means: (i) A developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age 3, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. The term does not apply if a child's educational performance is adversely affected primarily because the child has an emotional disturbance, as defined in paragraph (b)(4) of this section.

Establishing ownership and commitment to change by stakeholders by building and expanding on existing successful programs and models. Providing support for connecting the various reform efforts to require all participants to build on proven/promising practices to address common goals.
More specifically, systems change will occur through:
  • Increased numbers of teachers in critical areas of special education. Change in certification and training. Distance learning options in rural areas. Different approaches to mentoring to retain special education teachers. Improved methods of teaching reading and math for diverse learners. Development of models to reduce drop-out rate for students with disabilities. Internet and teleconference use to assist teachers in working with challenging students.

Disciplining Students With Disabilities
by Kevin P. Dwyer, NCSP
Assistant Executive Director
National Association of School Psychologists reprinted with permission from
Behavioral Interventions
National Mental Health and Education Center A
There is nothing in IDEA which restricts schools from disciplining children with disabilities. In fact, some would say that by not addressing these dangerous behaviors the student with special needs is not receiving an "appropriate" education. Both of these children may need specialized ser-vices to change the disruptive and dangerous behavior to make sure whatever discipline is used works in preventing a reoccurrence of that behavior. It is hoped that these principles will increase positive behavior conducive to learning and reduce the need to use expulsion and suspension as interventions for behavior problems. Positive interventions will also increase classroom teacher and parental support for such actions taken to improve school discipline and safety. School's Responsibility to Maintain a Safe Environment Conducive to Learning School systems have the legal responsibility to maintain safe, violence free schools. Part of that responsibility includes the establishment of a code of conduct including specific consequences for violations of the code of behavioral conduct. School authorities have the right and responsibility to discipline children (including the removal of children from their present school) when those children violate school rules, by engaging in conduct which materially and substantially disrupts the rights of others to be physically safe and to be educated. When conduct endangers the student, or other students, temporary removal of that student may become imperative. Schools also have these rights and responsibilities when students with disabilities violate school rules, causing disruptions or danger to themselves or others.

Legal Files
Archives School Nursing Services for Special Children
By Phil Stinson, Esq. Parents of children with special needs are often confronted with problems relating to the delivery of nursing services while their child is at school. On rare occasions, without the provision of such services, it is impossible for a student to attend school on a regular basis. This situation can be highly disruptive to family operations, as parents struggle to juggle the impossible burden of work obligations, while, at the same time, taking the time to personally provide the services for the child. On March 3, 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed this issue in Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garrett F. The Garrett F. Court did not address how the 1997 Amendments to the IDEA impact on the issue of providing school nursing services for children with special needs (because the issue before the Court dealt with facts and law prior to the enactment of the revisions to the special education laws in 1997). In 1997, Congress amended the IDEA to clarify that public educational agencies (local school districts) are the payors of last resort whenever another public agency has a funding responsibility to an exceptional child.

How To Use This Guide
This guide can be used in many different ways. It was primarily written for students who are interested in attending postsecondary institutions. But parents, teachers and counselors can also benefit from various sections of the guide. Postsecondary personnel can utilize information in the Guide to help secondary personnel better prepare students for the transition to postsecondary education, develop networks with other campuses serving students with disabilities and better work with students who have disabilities, who are already on campus. A special thanks goes to all the two and four year institutions that took the time to complete the surveys sent to them regarding disability services on their campuses. Secondary students and parents across Missouri will appreciate your efforts!! Documentation
Section 1 tells students what kind of documentation will be needed to access services in a postsecondary environment. It stresses that documentation (evaluation) reports should be current, relevant, and contain specific information so that the student can obtain necessary academic accommodations.

SEPTEMBER
  • Begin the process of exploring and choosing postsecondary options with an assessment of your interests and ability and a comprehensive vocational assessment. Understand the differences between the academic organization and expectations of high school and postsecondary education (see section on Differences Between High School and College). Start planning for postsecondary education as soon as you can. Talk to your counselor and visit your school or public library. Look through college/university catalogs and general guides such as The College Handbook. Ask your counselor about the availability of postsecondary resources. Consider joining clubs and participating in other high school activities. Start a folder of everything you collect on postsecondary education. This should include addresses, phone numbers, contact people, etc. Talk with your high school counselor to see if you should consider taking a practice college entrance exam. Arrange for accommodations as needed.
