Vol. 21, No. 3, August 1998 Special Issue Severe Behavior Disorders of Children and Youth (Volume 21) Robert B. Rutherford Jr. Sarup R. Mathur Arizona State University This volume of Education and Treatment of Children contains a collection of the 12 peer-reviewed articles that were originally presented at the 21st Annual Teacher Educators for Children with Behavior Disorders national conference held in Scottsdale, Arizona in November 1997. These articles were selected from among over 150 papers presented which dealt with the education and treatment of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). In addition, this publication represents Volume 21 of the Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders ongoing monograph serios on Severe Behavior Disorders of Children and Youth. The keynote article by Don MacMillan, this year's recipient of the Council for Exceptional Children's outstanding Special Education Researcher award, discusses the fact that while disability categories as independent variables in special education research is unwarranted because assignment to categories by the schools does not appear to have high decision reliability and categorical membership of children obscures individual differences among children within categories. He calls for the "unpackaging" of these categorical variables in order to explain more variance in research and to link treatment to child needs more efficiently The next article by Yell and Shriner provides a thorough analysis of the new discipline provisions for students with disabilities in the 1997 Amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. They point out that these amendments represent some of the most significant changes in the law since original passage in 1975.

Credits Objectives 6 - Disability and Secondary Conditions Objectives References Background According to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, a person is considered as having a "disability" if he or she meets at least one of the following criteria: (1) He or she has a physical or cognitive impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) he or she has a record of such an impairment, and/or (3) he or she is regarded as having such an impairment. The U.S. Census of 1990 reports that 35% of West Virginians are identified as having a disability. Of those, 19% are rated as severe. Approximately 3% of this population have difficulty with self-care, a major quality of life area. Survey research conducted by Keith and Stewart in 1992 found that approximately one-third of West Virginia households included a person with an identified disability. Of the adults who responded to this survey, one in five reported requiring professional care for their disability. Primary disabilities with concomitant chronic health problems and physical limitations occur within the aging population of West Virginia. Additionally, poverty, low educational levels, lack of prenatal care, and teenage pregnancies may contribute to high incidences of disability among infants born in the state.

PERSPECTIVES ON INCLUSION BY DESIGN: SCIENCE CURRICULUM REFORM AND SPECIAL EDUCATION West Virginia University ejpyle@wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu How teachers construct and interpret curricula at the classroom level is determined by years of experience as students and as teachers. The lenses through which teaching experiences are viewed have been s haped by educators' recollections from childhood, as well as a certain amount of nostalgia for the past. The underpinning of these recollections of experience include assumptions and beliefs about how students learn and about how schooling practices "should be" i n order to facilitate student learning. Assumptions must be examined in order to facilitate change in how curricula is developed an d enacted, as well as to create opportunities for meaningful learning by all students. The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel approach to the preparation of science and special education teachers in the constr uction of curricula for science classrooms that include Grade 4 - 8 students with disabilities. Our basic mission is to include stu dents with disabilities by design and collaboration, rather than by modification of existing curricula or lessons. Specific objectives include: (a) describing the activities of the project, (b) describing current research trajectories with respec t to the effectiveness of the project, and (c) discussing implications of the research trajectories for science and special educators as they relate the dual processes of science curriculum reform and inclusive special education service delivery.

Epilepsy Month 2004 Children Often Not Given Diastat in School; Denied Participation in School Activities By Regina Reid EpilepsyUSA Staff Posted: August 27, 2003 With the 1975 passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, millions of parents took comfort in knowing their special needs children had been assured the right to a free and appropriate public education. For children with epilepsy, the administration of medication is a necessary related service that ensures the quality of their education. While the majority of school nurses dutifully dispense medications orally, children who need Diastat often find themselves unable to count on the school nurse to administer it. Diastat, or rectally-administered diazepam, is FDA-approved for the treatment of prolonged and clustered seizures. Unfortunately, some children who require this treatment have been excluded from school programs, daycare and camps.

Nancie Payne, M.S. Special  Learning  Needs  Consultant Estimates of the percentage of U.S. school-age children with learning difficulties are as high as 30 percent. [1]  In its 1987 report to Congress, the Interagency Committee on Learning Disabilities summarized a review of available learning disabilities prevalence research and concluded that: In the absence of good prevalence data, the Committee believes that 5 percent to 10 percent is a reasonable estimate of the percentage of persons affected by learning disabilities.  It is clear the prevalence is somewhat higher among socio-economically disadvantaged populations. [2] In studies conducted by the President’s Committee on Employment for People with Disabilities it was found that 10 to 14 percent of adults in the workplace have learning disabilities. [3] A survey of 567 adults with learning disabilities conducted by the association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities (now Learning Disabilities Association of America) found that 210 (37 percent) were unemployed.

When that didn’t work, they called the police. Herein is a saga of special education in Pocahontas County and WVA’s involvement: Mallory (not the child’s real name), who has autism, was enrolled in Pocahontas County Middle School last year. She was supposed to receive special education services as legally mandated in her duly adopted Individual Education Plan (IEP). In January 2003 Mallory was suspended from school for 10 days for alleged disruptive behavior. Her parents called West Virginia Advocates. Susan Given , Assistant Program Director, advised them that the school had the right to suspend a special education student for 10 days without providing services. However, after that time the school was obligated to provide services specified in the IEP. She told the parents to call back if their child was suspended again so that WVA could ensure the correct process was followed. In March Mallory was again suspended. The school administration wanted to send her to an alternative school that was lodged in the high school. The plan was to set up a classroom for Mallory under a stairwell. Mallory’s parents believed that the placement would be detrimental to both their child’s education and well being.
