CFA In The Media children are misclassified as learning disabled not when permits an estimated 1,170special education students Program, thousands of arizona students could http://www.childrenfirstamerica.org/newsroom/oped13.htm
Extractions: While the number of clinically disabled students has remained nearly constant, the number of students classified with "specific learning disabilities," which involve more subjective diagnoses, has more than tripled. More disturbingly, the very law designed to end the segregation and neglect of special education students has resulted in the increased segregation and neglect of Hispanic and African-American students across the country. In a new Goldwater Institute study, Race and Disability: Racial Bias in Arizona Special Education, I present data showing that race, not student poverty or low school spending, is the primary determining factor when assigning a disability label to children. And, predominantly white districts label minority students at substantially higher rates than predominantly minority districts do.

Extractions: A Lisa Graham Keegan s the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education continues its critical task of examining IDEA and other special education policies, there are some who will try to convince the commission that it will do irreparable harm to IDEA if it recommends any changes to the program other than increased funding. Still others will likely argue that any changes to IDEA would be an affront to the ideals embodied in the Act, and that anyone who advocates reforming the program lacks a commitment to disabled children. Nonsense - and any of us who have had to live and work within the program know better than that. We know that what matters most in special education are three underlying principles that have been at the heart of the IDEA program since its inception: access to education, ensuring that special education students make academic progress, and holding the system accountable for each of these services. Funding is an inherent part of each of these principles, to be sure, but we do a great disservice to special education and special education students if we base policy solely on the issue of funding.
