Assistive Technology Coordinators: Wisdom Shared Goal: To help school personnel start conversations about planning and integrating assistive technology into systemic school change. The assistive technology tools and devices mentioned in the video clips below are intended to serve only as examples of assistive technology. The tools and devices are by no means endorsed by Learning Point Associates but rather presented in this section to share knowledge gained by educators who have successfully used the tools and devices with their students. One should also keep in mind that in cases where assistive technology use with non-special-education students is mentioned, according to IDEA, it is no longer assistive technology but rather instructional technology. Guiding Questions for Administrators and Technology Staff Questions Video Clip Responses How has the assistive technology plan been developed at your district or school? Has it been designed with all students in mind? Who was involved in the process? Dr. Lynne Rauch

Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Brody-Hasazi, Susan - Gillet, Pamela Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Handicapped and Gifted Children Reston VA. Serving the LD Student in a Vocational Education Classroom. 1984 Digest, Revised. Learning disabled students may have difficulties with academic tasks such as reading and writing. Following directions and understanding lectures may be hard for them. As a general rule, they forget more often than other students. They may learn how to sand wood one day, but forget by the next day. In class, they may appear restless and inattentive. Sometimes they will fail to focus on their task. In PUZZLED ABOUT EDUCATING SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS, Lloyd Tindall describes a typical learning disabled student: We are in a vocational agriculture classroom in late March as the instructor explains how to prepare a cornplanter for spring planting. A cornplanter from one of the student's farms is in the shop awaiting preparation. The instructor asks the class to read a section of the cornplanter manual silently. Tom reads for about a minute and then starts bothering the student next to him. After being asked to continue reading, Tom reads for another 30 seconds and again bothers his neighboring classmates. The instructor asks the students to list the necessary tasks on paper. Tom has trouble listing the essential tasks. He cannot identify the essential tasks to be performed. His thinking appears to be disorganized. His handwriting is poor. Some of his letters are reversed: a "b" replaces a "d". He has skippped words. We also observe that Tom is easily distracted by noises outside the classroom. He does not seem to have the ability to tune out even minor distractions.

State percentages of youth in Wisconsin public schools with Emotional, Learning, Cognitive, and/or Low Incidence Disabilities are compared to percentages reported from the state and county operated juvenile detention facilities. The study investigates if the apparent national trend of overrepresentation is true in Wisconsin. The data collected show the percentage of students with Special Education labels in thirteen detention facilities is significantly larger than the percentage of disabled students in the Wisconsin public school system. Therefore, a pressing goal needs to be identifying causes of delinquency among the Special Education population and putting programs in place to prevent the crimes in the first place.

Thanks!] Sun, 12 Mar 2000 http://www.journalstar.com/stories/top/sto3 Many labeled learning-disabled BY JODI RAVE LEE Lincoln Journal Star A civil rights law for "disabled" school-age children tends to sweep high numbers of minority youth into special education programs, according to those familiar with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. "We have a highly disproportionate representation of Native American children in special education programs," said Dixie Jordan, a parent coordinator at the PACER Center in Minneapolis. She said cultural differences, highly subjective evaluations and a correlation between disability and poverty contribute to the disproportionate numbers. A significant factor, Jordan said, are schools that tend to ignore the guidelines set up under the law. Consequently, a large number of kids are left with unmet needs, according to the National Council on Disability

Autism and the Inclusion Mandate by ANN CHRISTY DYBVIK Daniel walks into his kindergarten classroom and drops his outerwear, backpack, and bus harness in a tangled heap in the middle of the floor. Daniel has a singular focus this morning: building a bridge and a house out of Lincoln Logs. He does not notice as classmates step around or over him as he plays on the hard floor. If other children move into his space, he pushes them away. One or two children greet him, but he does not answer. Daniel keeps up a running dialogue as he plays, in jargon rarely understandable to anyone but himself. Daniel’s educational aide approaches him and, using a handmade schedule book with symbolic pictures, shows Daniel that this is not the time for playing. The first picture on the schedule is a locker, indicating that Daniel is to hang up his coat and backpack. Transitions to new activities are very difficult for Daniel, and he begins to scream and kick. Other children watch quietly or walk away. Daniel is autistic. He is charming, intelligent, creative, and full of energy, just like his 18 classmates. However, he is unable to use language to interact with others. His rare attempts at communication are through imitation and usually in only one or two words. Teachers and aides communicate with Daniel using a combination of picture symbols and words, since children with autism learn best visually. Like other children with autism, Daniel would not understand the activities of the day without his schedule book. When events change and the day does not correspond to his schedule, Daniel may lose control and throw a tantrum. He requires the support of an educational assistant every minute of the school day.

53. Special Needs SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION FOR special needs STUDENTS postsecondary schoolgoals for learning disabled students have http://www.sbuniv.edu/~tsukany/esl-ther/special.htm

SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION FOR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS Issues in the study of foreign language are numerous and multi-faceted. The issue to be explored here is separate from the currently publicized national controversies regarding bilingual education (teaching students in their native language while they learn English) and "U.S. English," (a group created by former California Senator S.I. Hayakawa in 1983 seeking state constitution amendments recognizing English as the "official language"). It is difficult to find any literature arguing against the study of foreign language while significant reasons advocating its inclusion in the curriculum range from literacy in the classics to competition for global economic leverage and intercultural understanding. In most schools beyond the elementary level, mandatory study of a foreign language raises the issue most affecting my work as a special educator. Is it possible for adolescents with communication deficits in their native language to succeed in the study and acquisition of a second language? My concern is for the at-risk students at the
