82. ASDC: ENDEAVOR had been prior to the inclusion of the deaf students with special needs.Successful inclusion of students with special needs requires a paradigm shift http://www.deafchildren.org/home/html/endart_ende05.html

Inclusion Strategies For Deaf Students With Special Needs Thomas W. Jones, Ph.D. Department of Education Patricia A. Ross, M.A. Kendall Demonstration Elementary School Gallaudet University Deaf students with special needs typically have been excluded from schools and programs for deaf students, or educated in separate classes and programs in those settings. Such exclusionary or segregated arrangements deprive the students of full access to the communication, linguistic, and social benefits which are the strengths of deafness-focused programs. Not only are the deaf students with special needs barred from reaching their potential in such settings, but the other deaf students are deprived of opportunities to understand the wide range of human abilities and potential. Successful inclusion of students with special needs requires a paradigm shift in which diversity of students in many dimensions is not only tolerated, but also understood and valued. Classes with included students with special needs are viewed as collections of heterogeneous individuals with no outliers, rather than as a homogeneous unit with one or two students with special needs added in. Rather than focusing on the students with special needs, successful inclusion programs focus on the unique individuality of all students. The success of classes and programs in which students with a variety of characteristics and needs are educated together requires changes in administration, faculty, and student attitudes (changes which usually result from experience); modifications of traditional school and classroom structures and procedures; and the implementation of specific teacher behaviors.

T/TAC-Full Graphics Web Site Adapting Physical Space for Students with Special Needs by Carolyn Ito Imagine that it is August and you have just walked into your classroom. You are about to begin a new school year. Probably the walls are empty, the furniture is pushed to one side of the room, and all the materials that make this barren room your special place are stored away. Soon you will make important decisions about the use of your physical space. How will you arrange your room? As you walk across the room to begin unpacking a box, the principal, Ms. Hernandez, appears. It seems that a recently registered student, Savannah, will be in your class this year. Savannah has limited mobility and uses a motorized wheelchair. Your principal also mentions Juan, a student with an attention deficit disorder, who will be in the class. Upon leaving, Ms. Hernandez asks about the plans with the learning specialist for the inclusion of four students with learning disabilities. In light of this new information, you again ponder your room arrangement. A number of factors must be considered in arranging your space. They include the needs of all the members of your learning community, the layout of the space itself including fixed furnishings and equipment, your instructional materials, and your classroom's location within your school.

Teacher's Lounge Curriculum Article C U R R I C U L U M A R T I C L E Inclusion: Has It Gone Too Far? Inclusion of all children with disabilities in regular classrooms seems to be the law of the land. But is it the right thing for all kids? And how are teachers handling it? Inclusion the idea that all children, including those with disabilities, should and can learn in a regular classroom has taken firm root in many school systems, although it is not specifically required by law. To oppose inclusion would seem to advocate exclusion. Yet, some observers maintain that full inclusion isn't always the best way to meet student needs. Critics of full inclusion ask whether even students with the most severe disabilities benefit from placement in regular classrooms. Further, some outgrowths of inclusion involve rethinking the structure of the regular classroom. Inclusive classes may require more than one teacher. And teachers and students may need specific technology to help students with disabilities perform better.

The review, conducted by the school of education at the University of Manchester, is likely to be welcomed by the government, which is keen to follow a more inclusive agenda. However, researchers were quick to point out that all but a few of the studies they reviewed focused on children with physical, sensory or communication difficulties, and not those with emotional and behavioural difficulties, an area of most concern to teachers. Most studies related to primary school children, and none were conducted in the UK.

CSIE Centre for Studies on Inclusive Education 1 Redland Close Elm Lane Redland Bristol BS6 6UE United Kingdom Telephone Fax UNESCO Survey on Special Needs Education Law 1996 CSIE summary Introduction The Report Summary of the Integration Aspects of UNESCO's Report Introduction In 1996 UNESCO published the results of a world-wide survey of the laws relating to special educational needs in 52 countries. The report, Legislation Pertaining to Special Needs Education , is a useful indicator of how a range of countries have approached this area of education. This free CSIE Summary focuses on the integration aspects of the report. The full list of countries is given below and shows a mixture of developed and developing nations. UNESCO said such a study was timely because of the number of important landmark developments in this field of education in recent years. These include: the International Year of Disabled Persons in 1981; the Decade of Disabled Persons 1983-92; the World Programme of Action in Favour of Disabled Persons in 1983; the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989;

The Inclusion Charter Charter signers Back to home page This CSIE explanatory paper on the six points in the Inclusion Charter, first written in 1989, was revised in 2002 to take account of latest developments and understandings of inclusion and segregation. Clicking on any of these points will take you to a detailed further explanation. We fully support an end to all segregated education on the grounds of disability or learning difficulty, as a policy commitment and goal for this country. We see the ending of segregation in education as a human rights issue which belongs within equal opportunities policies. We believe that all students* share equal value and status. We therefore believe that the exclusion of students from the mainstream because of disability or learning difficulty is a devaluation and is discriminating. We envisage the gradual transfer of resources, expertise, staff and students from segregated special schools to an appropriately supported, diverse and inclusive mainstream. ... For these reasons we call on Central and Local Governments to do all in their power to work as quickly as possible towards the goal of a desegregated education system. * The Charter uses the term 'students' to cover all pupils, children and young people. Back to top Segregation in education is exclusion from the mainstream in separate settings without a time limit or a plan for inclusion. It is also education under separate management from the mainstream.

Helpful Internet Links Cómo ayudar a su hijo/a Family Support Network What is Inclusion? By definition, inclusion means that “all children are included in the educational and social life of their neighborhood schools and classrooms, not merely placed in the mainstream.” (Stainback, 1992) Edison Pre-K is a Blended Inclusion classroom, where a certificated PreK teacher and a special education teacher together teach a mixture of general and special education students. There are a maximum of five special education students enrolled in our morning class, and five in the afternoon class. We have found that this grouping provides a "win-win" experience for everyone. The special education students benefit by having general education students to learn from and model. The general education students benefit by helping the special education students, as an older child would help a younger sibling. However, all our students are special and unique, and often hard to tell apart. It's fun to see substitutes and visitors try to guess who are the identified special needs students, because all the children are in many ways so similar and yet so different. All our children are special.

Posted on Sunday, January 25 @ 22:27:51 GMT by sylvia By Nancy Salvato I am certified to teach public school students up to the 12th grade. In order to teach kids in grades 6-12, I must have a major or a minor in a particular subject. If I don't have the qualifications I won't be eligible to teach at that grade level. It's as simple as that. As a matter of fact, even though I am already a teacher of middle school students and have a M Ed in Education, I will be considered unqualified to teach middle school according to the more stringent standards of NCLB if I do not take two courses in middle school to understand the nature of the kids with whom I am charged.

What is known about how ICTs can be used to reach marginalized groups (economic, linguistic, cultural, gender) to benefit education, and how ICT use may have differential impact on such groups? Current knowledgebase:  What we know, what we believe and what we don’t General Equity issues are critical and acute It is clear that there are critical equity issues related to the uses of ICTs in education. There is a real danger that uses of ICTs can further marginalize groups already excluded or marginalized from existing educational practices and environments. That said, ICT use also holds very real promise for facilitating greater inclusion of such groups into existing educational practices and environments as well. Special Needs and Disabilities Solid documentation from OECD countries There is a richly documented history of what works – and what – related to the uses of ICTs to assist in the education of students with a variety of disabilities, both cognitive and physical, based on OECD experience. Certain applications of ICTs have been shown to have positive and important effects on the educational development of students exhibiting a great variety of special needs (including blind, deaf, and learning disabled students).

Equity is a central consideration in all the work on education, with important issues including access and selection, fairness in funding, availability of data or the circumstances of particularly vulnerable social groups (with special educational needs, migrants and minorities). Safety in schools is another important consideration. The definition of a student with special needs varies from country to country, so do policies for such students, particularly in the balance of provision between separate schools and inclusion in regular schools with additional assistance. Work includes (i) improving statistics and indicators on students with special needs; (ii) identifying effective programmes to assist the transition from school to work for students with special needs; and (iii) identification of best practices in the design of school facilities for students with special needs. Ethnic and cultural diversity present challenges to countries and educational systems. Problems faced by indigenous population groups are often different from those of new immigrants, which further complicates the matter. Issues arise of language and multicultural education, of combating prejudice in the majority population, and facilitating integration. Current work involves bringing together public, private and independent sectors to work together on improving communities for at-risk students and (ii) a study of the educational attainment of children of migrant origin.

Which students need assistive technology? What kind of technology is needed? Who is involved in making these decisions? What sort of data should be gathered to aid in the decision-making process? Much discussion has been generated about each of these questions. Though there are few quick and easy answers to any of these questions, the first three are generally addressed in some way by a combination of federal law and best practices in fields related to assistive technology. The answer to the fourth question is evolving and is the subject of this discussion. Which Students Need Assistive Technology?

Presented at ISEC 2000 An Evaluation of the Research Base about Inclusion of Special Needs Students in Turkey Suleyman Eripek - Anadolu University, Turkey Abstract Thirteen research studies have been identified regarding inclusion of special needs students in regular education environments in Turkey. Six of these studies are theses whereas the rest of them are journal articles or conference papers. When these studies are grouped according to subject areas, there are six studies analysing the attitudes and opinions of teachers about inclusion, five studies comparing included students in terms of social skills, one study examining reading and writing instruction to included students, and one study comparing the educational involvement of parents of included and excluded students. Most of these studies are about students with mental retardation. When the methodology of the studies are considered, ten of them were conducted descriptively, two of them were conducted experimentally, and one of them was conducted qualitatively. In the proposed presentation, results of the above studies will be compared and contrasted. In the light of these evaluations, (a) contributions of these studies to inclusive special education practices in Turkey will be discussed; and (b) future research needs in the area of inclusion in Turkey will be identified.

Annotated Bibliography Building a full service school. A step-by-step guide. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass, Inc. Characteristic: Climate for Inclusion Indicator: Comprehensive programs are inclusive of all students, regardless of their emotional, intellectual, social, or physical needs. Sample Policies and Programs Stage 1 The school refers students with special needs to participate in the after-school program. The program coordinator requests information about students with special needs that are attending the program and, as a consequence, the program coordinator purchases some simple assistive technology devices (e.g., switches, pencil grips, special computer software, etc.) for students with special needs. The local fire department builds a sidewalk in a park nearby to make sure that a student in a wheelchair can participate in all the program activities. Stage 2 The program staff sets up a three-day planning session with other after-school programs and the special area classroom teachers to adapt the curriculum and environment for children with special needs. University undergraduate and graduate students majoring in foreign languages plan international events, including food and costumes. University students earn class credit for their contributions to the program.
