From the PA DOE Homeschooling FAQ
What responsibilities does the school district have for students with special needs? If you believe your child is disabled and in need of special education services, but has not been evaluated, the school district in which you reside is required to evaluate the child, without charge, when you make such a request in writing. The district must hold a multi-disciplinary evaluation meeting with you to explain the results of the evaluation. If you desire special education services, you may enroll your child in the public school to receive a free, appropriate public education, or you may ask the school district to provide service(s). If you ask for services, then you and the school district may come to an agreement as to what services will be provided and where. The school district is not obligated to provide special education services if you do not enroll your child, however. Any services which are agreed to may be provided in a public school or private school which is licensed to provide such programs and services; these services will not be provided in your home.

Parents of special-needs kids may turn to schools to pick up tab
Sunday, July 10, 2005 By Joe Fahy, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
When Alec Greacen, 8, went to camp this summer, he was accompanied by an adult aide. Likewise, during the school year, he has an aide who helps him at home and at Marzolf Elementary School in Shaler. Alec, who has autism, has an impaired ability to feel pain. He could easily be injured without close supervision, said his mother, Mary Ellen Greacen, of Glenshaw. He also receives speech therapy and other specialized therapy. His brother Ian, 6, also has autism and receives similar services. The services, paid for by the state's Medicaid program, have been vital to her sons, Greacen said, but they will soon come at a price. In October, the state plans to require many parents with moderate and higher incomes to help pay for the support services their disabled children receive through Medicaid, the state-federal health program for certain groups of poor and disabled people. The cost-sharing strategy for the parents of so-called "loophole" children is part of an effort by Gov. Ed Rendell and state lawmakers to scale back the cost of the state's Medicaid program. A variety of Medicaid cuts totaling about $240 million were part of the state budget approved by lawmakers and the governor last week.

fter three decades of legislation and litigation, America's public schools are opening their doors to children with disabilities. Inclusive schools are becoming the norm, and equal educational opportunity is now the right of every child. Successfully preparing children who are disabled in company with their nondisabled classmates for full participation in American society first requires that we make our schools accessible. Appreciation of both the context and the complexity of accessibility should inform the efforts of all engaged in the development and operation of our schools. Accessibility's goal is larger than building barrier-free structures, and its achievement is far more challenging than simply adhering to standards and codes. The following discussion, focusing on accessibility as it applies to school facilities, is intended to provide a systematic overview of issues bearing on what is recognized by many as a formidable endeavor. Historically, the educational experience of children with disabilities was characterized by neglect, inequity, and mistreatment. "Prior to the 1970s, most physically and mentally disabled students were, in fact, excluded from public schools or were not identified as disabled" (Otto 1998, p. 9). Where programs and facilities did exist to serve disabled children, they tended to be centralized and segregated. While the educational advantages of neighborhood schools were touted on behalf of able-bodied students, those with disabilities were often bussed en masse to special schools.
