Discrimination in Special Education Background The IDEA: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees all students "free and appropriate" public education (FAPE). IDEA protects the rights of children with disabilities, including: mental retardation; speech or language impairments; serious emotional disturbance; autism; specific learning disabilities and other health impairments. National Trends Overrepresentation and Segregation: What Does the Law Say? Complaints About Racial and National Origin Discrimination in Special Education: Filing OCR Complaints: A complaint of discrimination can be filed by anyone, or any organization, believing that an education institution that receives federal financial assistance has discriminated against someone on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex , disability, or age. OCR has jurisdiction for Title VI, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. OCR complaints must be in writing, cannot be anonymous, and must request intervention. Generally, complaints must be filed within 180 days of the last act of alleged discrimination, although a waiver may be granted. OCR does not have jurisdiction for IDEA complaints.

In our Schools Five Port Washington Public School teachers were asked "What can parents do to help their children get ready for Kindergarten?" Here are their top recommendations: Read to your child every day. Provide as many library and book experiences as you can. Handwriting.. Teach your child to write his/her name with the first letter capitalized and the rest lower case. Stress good posture and proper pencil grip. An improper grip is a hard habit to break. Emergency Information. Make sure your child knows his/her telephone number and address. Self-Care. Nose blowing, zippering, dressing, packing and unpacking a backpack are among those tasks that your child should be able to do. Discipline. Be consistent with discipline. Follow through with what you say and do. Children should not view limits as negative. Boundaries are firmly set in the Kindergarten classroom and are necessary for people to work and play together.

Text-Only Version STOMP Information Resources Using this Site E-mail: rfullerton@washingtonpave.com Welcome Download STOMP brochure Download STOMP brochure in Spanish With a population of 1.5 million active duty military members, each day around the globe, there are an estimated 540,000 active duty sponsors each caring for a family member with special medical or educational needs. STOMP is the only National Parent Training and Information Center for military families providing support and advice to military parents without regard of the type of medical condition their child has. Parents of children with special needs face many challenges: Feelings of isolation and anxiety. Difficulty navigating disjointed services. Severe financial worries. Inadequate information. These challenges are compounded when the family concerned is military. While all military families face certain challenges such as frequent PCS moves/military member being placed in harm's way/deployments, our families with special needs family members face additional difficulties, for example: Continuity in provision of IEP services from state to state or from state to DODDS/DDESS (no legal obligation to implement current IEP from another state) Availability of military member during IEP meetings/ medical treatments/procedures Finding specialists/physicians who will take TRICARE (military health entitlement program) Re-establishing relationships with key medical and educational personnel Re-establishing eligibility for community resources to assist child and facing waiting lists for services needed
