Premium Blog Ad Blog Ads TalkLeft Classifieds Stats var site="s11talkleft" Distinct visitors The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles Main Saturday :: April 23, 2005 Bush Administration Fines Texas by TChris Apparently secure in the belief that Texas will forever be a red state, the Bush administration slapped the state for defying the mandates of the administration's signature piece of legislation: No Child Left Behind. For the last two years, the Texas Education Agency has exceeded the federal cap on how many students with learning disabilities can be exempted from regular state testing, mandated by the act, in favor of an easier exam. To quash the defiance, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings fined Texas $444,282 yesterday, a relatively small chunk of the state's $1.1 billion allotment of federal education funds, "and a sliver of the state's $33 billion annual public education budget." That letter imposing the fine was released yesterday evening, the administration's favored time for disclosing unpleasant news. Texas isn't standing alone in its rebellion.

A regional cooperative is established to provide data collection, staff development, and support services to the member districts. It also assists in developing and implementing effective, results-oriented process models. The Cooperative operates on the premise that mildly handicapped learners are better prepared for the working world when vocational and special educators systematically coordinate and consolidate their expertise. The Cooperative has demonstrated success in enhancing the rate and quality of employment and enrollment in postsecondary education for the targeted population. Awareness materials are available at minimal or no cost. Contact: James Hokstaff, Director

Team Sports for Children with Special Needs Every child wants to belong to a group. And most kids want to play team sports. Not only is it just fun, but they also love to fit in: to wear a uniform, to have a position, to simply fit it. And this goes for kids with handicaps, disabilities, and delays. The world of team sports for children and adults with disabilities is growing, but it can still be hard to find. This page is dedicated to helping those kids find teams to join. This is a collection of links, sites, and information assembled by me, Pete Gaughan . This sprang from trying to find opportunities for my daughter. It isn't a professional or full-time effort; it's just one guy trying to keep track of it all. Always start by checking your local parks and recreation department or your state or local bureau for the disabled. But here, I want to gather all the non-government info I can. It's clear that there's something going on all over the U.S., from soccer in Houston to softball in Fargo . I will be grateful for all corrections and additions! Ground Rules I have short sections on each national program; then, at the bottom of this page, I'm building a list of soccer programs by specific locale. I'd be happy to build similar lists for other sports, but I don't have the time to search for those; if you send me the info, I'll add it.

He had good insurance which paid for a four months'stay at the famous Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver, Colorado. A doctor in Amarillo had bluntly said he would never walk again, but the Craig doctor did not shut the door given the advances of modern medicine and conditions being right. In the meantime, Eddie wheels his chair eight blocks to work everyday, and about the only thing which stops him is snow. But, as Eddie says, "If it's snowing hard outside, no one's going anywhere in Keyes anyway." In the process of wheeling around Keyes, Eddie has visited the mayor. Eddie points out that sidewalks in Keyes are buckled and curb cuts are non-existent. Eddie shares with business owners that he cannot get into their place of business to buy the things he wants. One business in town (besides his own) has a bathroom he can get into. One of these days, we're all going to suffer a disability, and then we'll understand what Eddie Brown has been trying to tell us.
