Extractions: The inventors of technological devices often employ a wide variety of design principles in order to be sure that they can be used by the widest variety of people. "Universal Design" is the name for all of these principles taken together. Because they have such a wide variety of students (who in turn have such a wide variety of needs), schools usually look for educational technologies that adhere to the dictates of universal design. It is usually easier—and frequently less expensive—to purchase this kind of equipment for everybody than it is to ignore accessibility issues and wind up purchasing extra technologies for students who can't use equipment that has already been bought. By law, public property and facilities intended for public use must meet certain accessibility guidelines set down by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Even this Web site has been designed to conform to the standards of the ADA. To learn more about the American's with Disabilities Act visit this Web site:

In the full-service school model, schools house a variety of health care, mental health, and related services for children and their families. Offering services on school grounds alleviates many of the problems that interfere with families obtaining services for their children (e.g., no transportation, lack of understanding of public health and social service systems, inability to take time away from work, and lack of health insurance). The services offered by full-service schools vary and are delivered through collaboration among the school, agencies, and the families. Examples follow: Preventive services Adult education

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Story Tools RELATED Key provisions in the special education bill HR 1350 WASHINGTON (AP) A Republican-led push to let parents send disabled children to private school with government money failed Wednesday as the House passed legislation renewing a 28-year-old law governing special education. Democrats said the school choice proposals amounted to a dangerous expansion of the voucher program. The proposals were a major point of contention in the debate over reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The bill passed by a 251-171 vote. One plan would have enticed states to create private school options so parents could use public money for tuition and transportation. A second proposal was intended to give certificates of public dollars about $1,400 to disabled children already enrolled in private schools so they could get extra services. Supporters said that amounts to the per-student federal dollars that school districts receive for special education. Almost every Democrat and about one-fifth of Republicans joined to reject the ideas.

Ed Case's amendment to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Star-Bulletin, April 22), which would base attorneys' fees for representing disabled students on rates set by the governor of each state. Apparently I have more confidence in our court's discretion than Case does. One wonders why the attorney general's lawyers representing the DOE are not prevailing. Perhaps the governor should seek legal advice from the private sector. The federal government, which updated IDEA in 1997, must cover a substantially higher percentage of the costs. Case would do well to redirect his carte blanche issue toward the feds who need to provide more financial support.

Whether at the college, high school, grade school, or even pre-school, Tom Lantos is leading the fight in Congress to make sure that all people can have the best education available. Head Start President Bush has proposed moving the Head Start program from the Department of Health to the Department of Education. Congressman Lantos is completely opposed to this proposal because it would fundamentally undermine the core philosophy of Head Start and he wrote the President on April 22, 2003 to share his opposition to the proposal and to urge the President to request more funding for this valuable program. Rep. Tom Lantos believes in Head Start.

The Senate version of IDEA will be introduced most probably by Senators Kennedy (MA) and Gregg (NH) contains, as NASN had requested, "school nurse services" in the legislative language of the Related Services Personnel Section.

Extractions: March 21, 2004 A recent News-Press story presented some alarming figures: An unprecedented number of children with autism are expected to enroll in local schools in the next three years. And these are just the kids the districts are already aware of. Schools are just beginning to see the wave of these children. As more and more special-needs children enter public school, they join those already enrolled: in the next few years, schools will be inundated with them. The article announced that the problem of educating children with autism in the public schools has grown so severe that Goleta Union School District is considering establishing a special class next year just for students with autism. For 10 years, school districts all over the country have been working toward full integration of students with disabilities, regardless of severity, in regular, age-appropriate classrooms. But the instructional and management difficulties presented by some students with disabilities notably those with autism impose new challenges on schools to meet the extraordinary needs. The News-Press article indicates that a fairly sudden increase in the number of students with autism is forcing the issue in a way that severely limits options for schools, like Goleta's, that are facing ever greater resource constraints.

Extractions: Index of Articles: (October 95) The Gridley Union School District is entitled to conduct a three year assessment of a high school pupil who is eligible for special education as a result of a serious emotional disturbance. The student was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, and various behavior disorders including attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) for which he is prescribed medication. Education Code sec. 56381 provides that reassessment of students eligible for special education shall be conducted at least every three years. In this case, the last triennial assessment occurred almost three and a half years ago. A lack of evidence regarding serious behavior problems due to a change in the pupil's medications also required that a new mental health assessment (AB 3632) be performed. However, the assessment did not have to be conducted by a Tourette's specialist. No factual or legal support was presented by the parents to support this request, and County Mental Health had a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist experienced in working with children with ADD.
