The leading Web site on learning disabilities for parents, teachers, and other professionals Home Page FAQs About LD IDEA 2004 Update What's New ... LD OnLine Store ADHDNew Legal Responsibilities for Schools Appalachia Educational Laboratory State Policy Program, 1994 (opens in a new window) The class clown, the space cadet, the rude or disrespectful teenager, the "children described as immature, unmotivated, lazy, inconsistent, irresponsible"1. . . . For years, teachers, principals, and parents have tried and failed to motivate and discipline these children. Ultimately, they blame the children themselves for their school failure, saying they just don't try hard enough or care enough to study and behave. Recent medical research suggests that many of these children may not be unmotivated, lazy, or irresponsible at all. Instead, they may suffer from a neurobiological disorder called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and they can be helped to succeed in school. In fact, the school system is legally obligated to locate and evaluate children who have this disorder, and if the children are found to be eligible, to provide special education and/or related services to meet their needs.2 Unfortunately, many teachers, administrators, and other school based professionals have had little opportunity to learn about the disorder, how to identify and treat it, or their legal responsibilities to do so. Their lack of knowledge may put children with ADHD at risk of school failure and may expose schools to lawsuits.

Home Empowering Families Introduction to Homeschooling Getting Started ... Join - Volunteer - Support Special Needs Children By Linda J. Conrad Jansen, Esq. Many homeschoolers are reluctantly drawn to homeschooling because the schools failed their children. This trend is expanding to include children in special needs programs, resulting in an increasing number of questions from parents choosing to homeschool their children who are interested in continuing or obtaining special needs help from the schools. In many instances a special needs child shows tremendous gains just by being removed from the public school situation and educated at home by loving and caring parents who are able to provide the stimulation and enrichment each child needs and deserves. If services are offered the family is not required to accept them. Many families do just fine without government help, but if you need it, special needs services are available to homeschoolers.
