Extractions: 9 May 2001 Use this version to print Send this link by email Last month students, teachers and parents rallied on the steps of the state capitol building in Lansing, Michigan to oppose plans by the state's Department of Education to reform the Michigan Special Education Code. The proposed reforms would slash education and therapy provided by public school districts to tens of thousands of Michigan children with disabilities. The reforms, which could go into effect some time in the next school year, will force families to pay a greater share of the cost of essential and often expensive services. Parents who cannot pay will see their children go without. The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, a special committee appointed by state officials, developed the changes, claiming they were required to bring Michigan law in line with federal regulations. When the current Michigan rules for special education were first established in the early 1970s there was no nationwide requirement for even the most basic education for physically, cognitively or emotionally impaired children. In 1975 the federal government mandated minimal standards and partial federal funding for some services in public schools. When the US Congress authorized the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1990, the earlier federal standards were incorporated into the new act.

Extractions: Full inclusion integration of disabled students into regular classrooms is a trend that is gaining nationwide attention. Inclusion advocates, such as The Association of Persons with Severe Handicaps, contend that all disabled children should be "included." The National Council on Disability recently stated that most students with sensory impairment should be taught in regular classrooms (Special Education Report, 1993). But why advocate full inclusion for all children if you can't insure that all children will truly feel included? Residential schools have been working for over 150 years to help deaf and blind children experience the personal fulfillment of feeling included. In school settings such as those provided by AIDB, specially trained and qualified instructors help students overcome education, communication and social barriers of isolation and loneliness. Inclusion proponents argue that residential schools are inferior because children are being educated in a restrictive environment. They contend that placement in a regular classroom is the least restrictive environment for all children who have a disability.

Our staff is dedicated to curricula which meet the individual needs of students. Residential and instructional programs and services which comply with state, regional, and national accreditation standards are provided. The school serves as an educational resource for visually impaired and blind residents of Mississippi from birth through 20 years of age. MSB Then...and Now Over one hundred fifty years ago on March 2, 1848, the Institution for the Instruction of the Blind was officially established by the State Legislature (Article 9, Chapter 43 - Laws of Mississippi) with an appropriation of $2500. Since its establishment 150 years ago, the school has been known by several names: Institute for the Blind, Asylum for the Blind, Mississippi School for the Blind. The school initially served 28 students: it presently provides services to over 150 visually impaired and blind children through its various programs. The school has occupied several sites during its long history, at one time being moved to Monticello so that its Jackson site could be used as a hospital during the Civil War. A temporary school for black blind students was established at Piney Woods in 1929. Later, in 1945, Helen Keller spoke at this campus. In 1951 this school was moved to a new location on Capers Street in Jackson. Since then, visually impaired students have been served on the Eastover Campus.
