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.

Gifted with Learning Disabilities (updated April 2000)
My child has been content in a gifted program for several years. This year he appears to be struggling, and his grades have fallen. It was suggested that he might have a learning disability that hasn't been a problem until this year. Is this possible, and how can I get more information? According to a 1992 Dept. of Education Office for Civil Rights survey, there were 24,241 people in the United States who were identified as being both learning disabled and gifted. This number was probably an underestimate. Although services for children with learning disabilities are covered under PL 94-142 and IDEA, those laws do not address giftedness. There is no comparable federal legislation that addresses the rights and responsibilities of children who are both gifted and disabled. Most school systems identify and provide services to students with learning disabilities whose achievement level is significantly lower than their ability level. Gifted students with disabilities rarely meet the criteria, except for those whose disability is so severe that their giftedness does not compensate for the disability. In such cases, a state might be unwilling to "double label" gifted children with disabilities and may not provide services under both codes. An article by Linda Brody and Carol Mills provides a comprehensive explanation of these issues (http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/gt_ld/nrcgt.html).

New School, New Problems: Foster Children Struggle in U.S. Schools
Published: January 23, 2000
by: Susan Kellam
This article first appeared in January 2000. First a foster child lands in a strange family; then gets shuffled into a classroom filled with more strangers. Math assignments are different. Books carry titles the child has never seen before. Even the location of the toilet stalls creates a puzzle. Yet this is school for thousands of school-age children who become wards of the state.

Scouts With Disabilities and Special Needs
Background
Since its founding in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has had fully participating members with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. Dr. James E. West, the first Chief Scout Executive, was himself disabled. Although most of the BSA's efforts have been directed at keeping such boys in the mainstream of Scouting, it has also recognized the special needs of those with severe disabilities. The Boy Scout Handbook Today, approximately 100,000 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers with disabilities are registered with the Boy Scouts of America in more than 4,000 units chartered to community organizations.
Recognition of Needs
Many of the approximately 315 BSA local councils have established their own advisory committees for Scouts with disabilities. These committees develop and coordinate an effective Scouting program for youth with disabilities, using all available community resources. Local councils also are encouraged to provide accessibility in their camps by removing physical barriers so that Scouts with disabilities can participate in summer and resident camp experiences. Some local councils also have professional staff members responsible for the program for members with disabilities. Advancement Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers with disabilities participate in the same program as do their peers.

Cameron, New York
By moving the meal service sites to a nearby trailer park, the Addison Central School District was able to overcome the transportation barrier that prevents so many rural children from participating in SFSP. The trailer park was an ideal location because the majority of families qualified for free and reduced price school meals. The school district enlisted parents as volunteers and included them in nutrition education and other enrichment activities.

Mt. Lake Park, Maryland
Kudos to the Garrett County Health Department for believing it could! Until 1999, the children of this rural, impoverished community did not have access to Summer meals. In the past, public and private groups had discussed the need for the program, but no agency felt capable of sponsoring it. Believing that healthy behaviors are caught not taught, the Department’s nutritionists, health educators, and outreach staff identified the need to work with both children and their families to teach health education. To achieve this, it combined the funding sources from other grant programs. It also sponsored "Serious Fun Day Camps" for three weeks, in three targeted regions, to maximize limited staff resources. Most of the children were able to walk to the camps which were located in town parks. Children were taught nutrition and healthy behaviors while enjoying Summer meals. They often applied what they learned to real life by preparing their own lunches and snacks!

As a parent, you are the pro on determining your child s needs, the school Parents How To Get the special Education Your Child with Disabilities needs.
http://pixelscapes.com/ddhelp/school.html
Schools Today's DD children attend regular schools and regular preschools. In the past, children with mobility issues were placed in schools for the disabled, but this is not true today. While a DD child might be placed under the auspices of a school's Special Education Department, often in a category called "orthopedic only" or "orthopedically impaired", they are not special ed students per se, but rather use the Special Ed staff to get any environmental adaptations in place. Acquaint yourself with the schools in your area a child can be bused out of his/her home school area to a barrier-free school, and this is preferable to a school with stairs. School principals have a lot of clout in determining the tone of their individual schools. If necessary, shop for a school and a sympathetic school principal with the help of your school superintendent's office. In this day and age when schools often teach about the differences in all of us, usually DD children are teased less often at school than their peers are most parents report that these children end up being almost too popular. Be aware, however, that an occasional school official will use "abuse" as a scare tactic either out of ignorance or to make his/her job easier.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS! The RRN staff, Children and Family Advocacy Program special education and parent advocates at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) in Berkeley and Washington wish you and your families a safe, warm, and cheerful holiday season and a peaceful and just new year.
    DREDF will continue to bring you analyses of issues, proposals, and bills and alerts for taking necessary action as the IDEA goes through the reauthorization process in Congress.
    CHANGED CLIMATE: Midterm elections occurred since the last RRN briefing, and their outcome changes a great deal in Washington. High on our list of post-election concerns: the Senate HELP Committee, crucial for IDEA reauthorization, is now to be chaired by Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) rather than Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA). We have our work cut out for us, and we anticipate a tempestuous spring legislative season.
    We haven't sent out a briefing in recent weeks because election campaigns and homeland security issues took over in Washington, bumping IDEA reauthorization to the back burner. That will change in January, when bills begin to drop in both the Senate and the House.
