Extractions: VOL. 16 #1 March 1996 EDUCATING RAFAEL. The 1-17-96 EDUCATION WEEK contains this article on DS/INCLUSION, plus OBERTI AND THE LAW (the case is one of 1/2 dozen on inclusion). The case indicates schools have the burden to prove why a student should not be included in a regular classroom. The Oberti's first took the school to court five years earlier, but lost. The Appeals judge in '92 said: "Inclusion is a right, not a privilege for a select few." The author (Lynn Schnaiberg) says the two sides to the case are speaking in different languages: the school saw Rafael as half-empty, but his parents saw him as half-full. In concluding OBERTI AND THE LAW Schnaiberg says: "Regardless of where educators stand philosophically on inclusion, many disability-rights advocates have made the link between inclusion and racial desegregation. And they warn that if schools don't move fast enough to better integrate their disabled children, the courts may step in to do the job for them." See Page 776 of the 21/28 December '95 NATURE for this report by the Harvard Department of Neurology (Bruce Yanker, Enders 260, 300 Longwood Ave., Boston, MA 02115). In the final paragraph the authors state that "increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to abnormal brain developmental and mental retardation in DS." Their final sentence says, "if there is in vivo confirmation then the neuro protective effects of antioxidants may provide an important therapeutic approach to mental retardation and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease in DS individuals."

Arkansas' college remediation rate for entering students is 59.2%. 48% of these students entered college in the year after high school, the others are older students. After three decades of rising education spending and dramatic personnel growth in the system, Arkansas' academic achievement is well below national averages and lags most of the world's industrialized countries. The current public school establishment is responsible for this performance and must be held accountable and urged to improve. Arkansans are beginning to raise the central issue underlying effective education reform.

Extractions: In Arkansas, students with special needs can be homeschooled. Special Education services are available on a limited basis for homeschool students with special needs. Homeschool students are given the same consideration as private school students for special education services in Arkansas public schools. These students are all placed into a lottery for available services. Because of the number of students who are placed in the lottery, there is no guarantee of individual student services. Homeschool students with special needs are required to take the standardized tests, currently required for 5th, 7th and 10th grades. Each student with special needs who participates in the testing program is eligible for any or all modifications allowed by the test procedures. The request for these modifications should be made at the time the notification for testing is filled out. The use of such modifications will be approved by the education services cooperative director or his designee. A specific diagnosis of disability may be required.

Extractions: To fully experience the ABA site, please enable javascript. Special Needs: Domestic Abuse, AIDS, the Disabled, the Elderly, the Homeless Numerous courts and bars have developed programs for groups with special needs. Advocacy for these groups is crucial as their needs are often exacerbated by lower income, thus further limiting their access to justice in the areas of employment, housing, etc. Fifty-seven courts or bar associations indicated in their 2001 survey responses that they support activities addressing special needs. Among the many programs are the following: "He Loves Me Not," the Arkansas Bar Association video on the prevention of dating violence, was distributed to all high schools in the state. The state public television affiliate aired three, one-hour TV call-in programs, using the video in its entirety as a centerpiece. The Georgia Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Advocates for Special Needs Children Committee ensures that school districts are providing the education required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Extractions: 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 Presidents 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.
