61. Estate Planning Guidelines For Parents Of A Family Member With A Disability-Prin These laws do not take into consideration the special needs of your family. If your family member s disability is mental retardation, the texas Persons http://www.advocacyinc.org/CS4_print.htm

ESTATE PLANNING GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS OF A FAMILY MEMBER WITH A DISABILITY May, 1995 There is no single formula for parents to use when planning for the future of a family member with disabilities. Especially difficult is the question: What will happen to our child or adult family member with disabilities when we are gone? A person's estate is what he owns or possesses, like the home, car, money in the savings or checking accounts, stocks and bonds, furniture, and all types of personal possessions. Estate planning is the process of planning how these possessions will be divided and distributed when the person dies. Parents must take care of the needs of their family by managing their income and assets, and they must also make plans for the time when each parent will die and how the needs of the family will continue to be met. Your estate plan should include at least your will and may include such other things as trusts and insurance policies. There is little information to assist lawyers in counseling parents about the unique estate planning problems when there is a family member with disabilities.

"He's like a sponge!" Mary Hernandez says of her 13-year-old son's ability to soak up knowledge. Mary's son, Raul, has epilepsy and slight cerebral palsy. Four years ago, Mary pulled Raul out of public school and began homeschooling him. She was frustrated with the school, whose teachers maintained Raul couldn't learn because of his disability and let him spend hours playing with toys. Mary brought him home, sure that her son could excel if given the chance. Raul has since learned to read and write. "He knows all the presidents from the first to the forty-third president!" says Mary proudly. "You tell him something, and he will remember it." At home, Mary holds Raul to a structured school schedule, but also involves him in household routines.

Peter, age 12, is visually impaired. His parents wanted him to attend the Texas School for the blind in Austin, Texas, but school officials at Peter's local public school wouldn't let him. They felt they knew better than Peter's mother and father what was best for him. To most people, it seems rather patronizing for public school administrators to presume to make such a decision for Peter's parents. Unfortunately, current federal policy places government-not parents-in the primary decision-making role when it comes to children with disabilities.

What does substantially limiting mean? What is a major life activity? What are academic adjustments? What constitutes a disability? A disability is defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities. Learning is an example of a major life activity. If you have a mental or physical condition, a history of such a condition, or a condition which may be considered by others as substantially limiting, you may have a legally defined disability.

Education Issues Series Special Education Inclusion Educators' Bulletin Board Classroom resources IDEAS Resource pages on educational issues ... ONLINE SERVICES This article was updated November 5, 2001 Inclusion remains a controversial concept in education because it relates to educational and social values, as well as to our sense of individual worth. Any discussion about inclusion should address several important questions: Do we value all children equally? Is anyone more or less valuable? What do we mean by "inclusion?" Are there some children for whom "inclusion" is inappropriate? There are advocates on both sides of the issue. James Kauffman of the University of Virginia views inclusion as a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved. Furthermore, he argues that trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory as trying to force all students into the mold of a special education class or residential institution. At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.
