Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Privacy Issues and Disabled Persons by Joanne R. Pompano Contents of Curriculum Unit 00.03.06: Narrative Purpose of the Curriculum Section I: Sources of Privacy Protection Landmark Cases ... To Guide Entry In recent years, disabled persons have fought for their right to equal access to facilities, experiences, and opportunities in American society. Much progress has been made in the effort to ensure that disabled citizens have equal and appropriate opportunities in schools, communities and workplaces. Often this progress was made possible by the rulings of the Supreme Court and by State and Federal legislation. However, disabled people may have lost some of their privacy in the process. Are there issues of privacy that are unique to the disabled? What protection is provided to disabled persons? Have some of the laws that were developed to assist them also created privacy issues for them? This unit addresses the privacy issues faced by the handicapped populations in our country. It will provide students with the opportunity to discuss and understand these issues and the protection or lack of protection provided by the laws of the United States. Although, the unit was developed to explore issues of privacy as they pertain to the disabled, it should also be of value to the non-handicapped student wishing to understand the problems and concerns of disabled peers. In addition, classroom teachers will also gain insight into the problems that are of concern to their disabled students.

The Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is the educational environment providing the greatest exposure to and interaction with general education students and persons without disabilities and LRE enables a student with a disability to receive an appropriate education. It is grounded in the idea that the general education environment is appropriate for educating all students. It is also expected the entitled individual may need special assistance in the general education setting. The LRE decision is based on: The specific needs of the individual; Whether the entitled individual may need individualized assistance in the general education setting; and A review of the continuum of services. The general education environment includes the general education curriculum, instruction, academic opportunities and settings that nondisabled students experience, as well as the nonacademic and extracurricular activities in which nondisabled students participate. Examples of the general education environment for school age students include: Classroom settings in elementary and secondary schools;

74. Nebraska Department Of Education: IEP: Developing The IEP: Special Education And The school district and parent must consider the following questions to determine the special education and related services need to be documented. http://www.nde.state.ne.us/SPED/iepproj/develop/spe.html

The IEP shall include: (iii) A statement of the special education and related services and supplementary aids and services to be provided to the child, or on behalf of the child and a statement of the program modifications or supports for school personnel that will be provided for the child. (iv) An explanation of the extent, if any, to which the child will not participate with nondisabled children in the regular class and in activities described in paragraph (clause iii); (vi) The projected date for the beginning of the services and modifications described in paragraph clause (iii) and the anticipated frequency, location, and duration of those services and modifications. Each IEP Team makes decisions about the special education instruction and related services, as well as supplementary aids required to meet the needs of an eligible individual. In addition, the IEP Team addresses the extent, if any, to which the student will not participate with nondisabled students in general education and nonacademic activities. All services outlined on the IEP indicate the projected date for the beginning of the services and the modifications for each. The frequency, location, and duration of the services are also specified by the IEP Team.

79. Gsa208 MCOs to provide IDEA related services to disabled children on school premises special Education Services. The HEALTH PLAN may not deny the provision http://www.gwumc.edu/sphhs/healthpolicy/nnhs4/GSA/Subheads/gsa208.html

Special education DE DC MABH MN ... VA DE "6.5.3 School-Based Services Schools and MCOs will be required to communicate with one another regarding any further needs the child might have within and beyond the Basic Benefit Package as well as coordinate the care the child receives from the Department of Education. MCOs will be required to work with local School Districts, the Division of Public Health, and other appropriate providers to create and implement procedures for linking and coordinating services for children who attend school and receive medical services under the auspices of Individualized Education Plans (IEP) or through similar school-based treatment plans, or who use medical services provided through School Based Health Centers. MCOs should coordinate plan benefits with these providers to prevent duplication of coverage, to assure medical necessity, and to provide for service delivery in a cost-effective manner. It is the desire of DHSS to move all provision of health care services into a managed care setting. In addition to supporting this goal, the present Administration supports maximizing the in flow of federal Medicaid resources to the State and school districts. School-based therapy services (e.g. occupational, physical and speech therapy) have therefore been excluded from the Diamond State Health Plan in order to further this second goal. Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (`IDEA'), 20 U. S. C. 1400 et Seq., requires schools to ensure that special education `related services' (defined in section 1400 (22)) are provided in accordance with each disabled child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). To the maximum extent possible these children must be educated with their non-disabled peers. This least restrictive environment (LRE) requirement has been interpreted to mean that therapy services should be delivered on school premises. The June, 1997 amendments to the IDEA also require Medicaid's financial responsibility to precede that of the schools. 20 U.S. C. section 1412. Medicaid must either 'provide or pay for' these services in the first instance.
