But many companies and government agencies are ready to welcome the students and accommodate their special needs. Employers do this because they recognize the assets a talented person with or without a disability brings to the workplace.

Extractions: Documentation Requirements for Post Secondary Education * Please be advised that in order to protect confidentiality, we do not accept faxed documentation. Students are encouraged to bring documentation with them when meeting with the Coordinator of Academic and Career Counseling. Rationale: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder poses a particular difficulty to the evaluator of adults and older adolescents. It does so not only because it requires the mental health professional to delve deeply into the individuals past behavior, but because ADHD shares overlapping symptoms with a host of psychiatric disorders and medical conditions. Therefore, a complete evaluation that includes information from multiple sources, objective measures such as rating scales and personality inventories, diagnostic clinical interviews, academic records, etc. has the best chance of making a clear and definitive diagnosis possible. Even with students who have been diagnosed as a child or young adolescent either by a physician, psychologist, or other mental health professional, need a current evaluation because the symptom pattern can change over time, the level of severity of impairment will alter in specific areas over time, and the accommodation needs may differ as a student gets older and/or develops compensatory skills and coping strategies.

http://www.apa.org/monitor/dec99/in2.html

Extractions: Monitor staff When special-needs students are granted more time to take the SAT, does that give them an unfair advantage over other students? Or does it merely level the playing field, allowing the students' true abilities to shine through their disabilities? That's the dilemma facing test developers, many of them psychologists, as they try to create valid, meaningful tests and at the same time accommodate people with disabilities. Many researchers are looking for solutions to that problem in response to the 1997 revision of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which requires states and districts to make educational tests available to students with disabilities by 2003. Meanwhile, testing administrators are also seeking to design fair tests for the increasing number of test takers who are not native English speakers. Developing accommodations for these students is no easy task, say psychologists who research and develop tests. Changing a test, whether by extending the time someone has to take it, allowing people to read items aloud or providing translations or glossaries, may change its validity. And, testing experts say, an altered exam may no longer assess the same ability or skill it was designed to measure or the outcome it's designed to predict, testing experts say.

Before you choose a college, however, you might want to ask yourself the following questions. Keep in Mind: Your disability cannot be used to discriminate against you in the admissions process. You must seek out the people who will provide the support services that you need. Ask for the Disabled Student Services Office or the Office for Handicapped Students. Some specific questions that you might ask are: Is tutoring available if I have trouble with my classes? If I need a textbook, tests, handouts put on tapes, how do I make these arrangements? What assistance is available to me in the library? Are there elevators in all of the buildings?

Special Needs Service - 'Workable' Bursaries

http://www.strath.ac.uk/Departments/specneeds/snworkpg.htm

Extractions: Workable wants to alert students with disabilities to the availability of four new bursaries for graduates and other mature students with a disability who win places on postgraduate diploma courses in print, broadcast and on-line journalism at selected universities and colleges. Workable is a charity established in 1990 to counter the prejudice faced by disabled graduates in their search for employment in the careers of their choice by persuading employers to provide them with structured work experience as a stepping stone to permanent employment. Since October 1997 Workable has been piloting a project called Mediable to find work experience placements for disabled students/graduates who want to work in the media. Workable has just been awarded nearly £211,000 to expand the project over the next three years with the appointment of a full-time project manager and assistant project officer. They will concentrate on three main tasks: identifying disabled people who are already working successfully in the media and producing case studies, perhaps in the form of a video, to show what they are achieving at work and how they and their employers cope with their disabilities as a means of encouraging young disabled people from secondary school onwards to consider working in the media as a career;

Extractions: Think about your interests, both in school and out of school what do you like, what don't you like? Think about what you've done in high school what do your high school experiences mean to you? Do you want your college experience to be the same, or different? How? In looking at colleges, you need to know as much as possible about who you are, and how you look at the world this is a very important area. The next few questions can help shape your search as well. If you've given any thought to what you'd like to study in college, or what part of the country (or the world) you'd like to study in, that can be helpful as well also, think about if you'd like to be in a big city, a small city, or nowhere near a city (or maybe that doesn't matter). To some people, the size of the college is important does that matter to you? In terms of scholarships and financial aid, Finaid.org has a great Web page devoted to financial aid for students with physical and learning disabilities. This page includes a list of publications you can get and other sources, including the HEATH Resource Center's publication "Financial Aid for Students with Disabilities"; to get that publication, call HEATH at 800.544.3284 (this number is voice/TTY enabled). Peterson's has a book called Scholarships, Grants, and Prizes that has a fairly good list on scholarships for students with disabilities (Nike and Nordstrom's each sponsor scholarships, for example). The book "Cash for College" recommends that you check with the rehabilitation agency in your state to find out about the resources that would be available from your state to support your efforts to go to college.

If a student has any special need and is intending to pursue a course of further or higher education, they should discuss these with the college or university at an early stage. Students attending further education courses, who have special needs, can claim through the bursary scheme operated by their college for financial assistance.

http://www.scre.ac.uk/spotlight/spotlight8.html

Extractions: Special Needs After 16: priorities for development Special education is an established part of the school system in the UK, in accordance with existing educational legislation. Education suitable for those who have special needs after the period of statutory schooling is not so well established, reflecting the absence of appropriate legislation. The EDSPEN project identified current trends in Scotland in providing education for continuing special educational needs after the age of 16. A NEGLECTED AREA OF NEED In the UK it is only in recent years that much attention has been given to the meeting of special educational needs amongst those over school-leaving age. Until the late seventies there was little appropriate continuing education for this group: education for the majority of pupils in special schools and units effectively ended at the age of 16. The EDSPEN project was undertaken to assess the extent of relevant provision in the mid 1980s. Covering the whole of Scotland, the project highlighted educational elements within the main services available to school leavers with special needs. This paper concentrates on the situation within further education and the Youth Training Scheme (YTS). PROVISION AVAILABLE IN THE 1980s Different young people have different needs, and the post-school services available offer different kinds of opportunities, including different emphases on education. Further education offers a specifically educational context, which can emphasise either general or vocational education. Colleges may introduce particular courses in response to Regional initiatives with specific funding, but they also have some autonomy to pursue their own initiatives if their existing finance permits. YTS emphasises vocational training although it includes broader educational elements. Funded by the Manpower Services Commission, YTS training schemes have to conform to specified criteria, while individual sponsors and managing agents including individual employers have a considerable influence on such factors as the character of the provision and the young people selected as suitable for the scheme.
