21. Bjup.com -- Balance -- Understanding Mildly Disabled Students In Christian Schoo In fact, recent studies show that special education in Christian schools is that our schools must do more in providing for the needs of mildly disabled http://www.bjup.com/resources/articles/balance/1203.html

Home Textbooks Books Music ... Teaching Understanding Mildly Disabled Students in Christian Schools Joe P. Sutton, Ph.D. Educating mildly disabled students has not been a high priority item on the educational agendas of many private Christian schools. In fact, recent studies show that special education in Christian schools is almost nonexistent, where only between 8 and 16 percent of Christian schools nationwide operate formal programs (Carver, 1989; Sutton, in press). With the emphasis placed on disabled persons in the Scripture (Sutton, 1990) however, most Christian educators would probably agree that our schools must do more in providing for the needs of mildly disabled students through formal special education programs. It is clear, then, that Christian educators must recognize two things with regard to mildly disabled students. One is that these students are not limited to just special education classrooms anymore, and will in all likelihood be present in regular classrooms to some extent. Two is that as mildly disabled students are identified and mainstreamed into regular classrooms, the regular classroom teacher will be the primary educational caregiver for these children, not the special education teacher. Regular classroom teachers in Christian schools, therefore, must be more cognizant of the basic characteristics and educational needs of mildly disabled students. Moreover, given the current novelty of special education in Christian schools, it would profit all Christian educators to know more about this unique group of students. This article seeks to provide answers to three basic questions: (a) who are mildly disabled students? (b) what criteria are used to identify them? and (c) what are some of their general characteristics?

He is presiding over the most sweeping, comprehensive and long-term programme affecting children with special educational needs (SEN) in his lifetime. Nearly one in six children has SEN. For parents, the struggle to access appropriate education for their children is often overwhelming and becomes the only thing that matters. For the young people, an inappropriate educational placement can be disastrous. Politicians and local education authority officers, professionals and parents of children without SEN have all been guilty of speaking as if SEN provision is some kind of a cosy add-on. It is not. Recently I heard of an attempted suicide by a schoolboy with Asperger's syndrome and of the loss of two lives (parent and young disabled child) - all casualties of the struggle for appropriate education for children with SEN.

Coalition Alerts P.I.E.R. sent four questions to school board candidates in the cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton, and Suffolk. The turn-around time for responses was very short. Below are the responses we have received. P.I.E.R. Voter Guide Questions Some classrooms in Virginia do not have textbooks, SOL materials, social studies or science curriculum or research based reading curriculums. If that were the case for any classroom in your city, what steps would you take to rectify that situation? Improving education results for students with disabilities is an essential element of our national policy of ensuring equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. What do you understand your responsibility to be as a school board member to achieve this policy goal? State regulations require the formation of a local special education advisory committee, composed of parents of students with disabilities and community members, as well as people with disabilities. Some of their responsibilities is to advise the local school division of unmet needs in the education of children with disabilities, assist the local school division in the formulation and development of plans for improving performance of children with disabilities, and participate in the development of priorities and strategies for meeting the identified needs of children with disabilities. How will you ensure that your school board follows up appropriately on the suggestions you receive from your city's local special education advisory committee?

34. Special Educational Needs And The Foreign Service Child Services in School for Children with special needs What Parents Need to Know virginia Department of Education s Parent s Guide to special Education http://www.state.gov/m/dghr/flo/9856.htm

Under Secretary for Management Bureau of Human Resources Family Liaison Office Education and Youth Issues Special Educational Needs and the Foreign Service Child There are unique challenges inherent in raising children with special needs, and this is especially so in the internationally mobile lifestyle of the Foreign Service. There has been a significant effort to increase the number of programs for children with special needs in American-international schools around the world. However, the quality of these programs varies greatly from school to school, and even from year to year. While more children who have mild learning disabilities are adequately served in international schools, children with moderate to severe disabilities still encounter major challenges. In addition to the lack of available programs overseas, very often there is also a lack of other support or therapeutic specialists to serve the requirements of special needs children. The Family Liaison Office strongly urges families to carefully research their options before bidding on and accepting an overseas assignment. There are several offices in the Department of State that work together to assist families of children with special needs. Special Needs Resource Information from the Department of State . Additionally, the Office of Overseas Schools offers the brochure
