Extractions: Planning for individuals with disabilities will be one of the most demanding and rapidly growing areas of practice over the next 20 years, as parents of individuals with disabilities die and more members of the population become disabled. This article reviews types of special needs trusts, which can be a powerful planning tool. The authors also discuss trustee responsibilities, provide a due diligence approach to selecting a trustee for a special needs trust and describe a variety of design options for the ongoing management of the trust. Individuals with disabilities have special needs and may be eligible for a wide variety of public programs. Effective planning includes coordinating those public program benefits with private family or other resources. Critical to this coordination is the special needs trust, a unique planning tool that can substantially enhance the lifestyle of individuals who experience a disability.
Extractions: Cleveland, Ohio Mr. Chairman, distinguished members of the Commission, good morning. My name is Phil Stinson, I am a member of the American Bar Association, and its' General Practice, Solo, and Small Law Firm Section. and I am a principal in the Philadelphia-based law firm of Stinson Law Associates, P.C. I welcome the opportunity to share my perspective with you today, because in my review of the testimony, reports, and scholarly debate considered to date by the Commission, I note one common theme: throughout the bulk of your deliberation, most of the debate has centered on the relationship between the accountancy profession and the legal profession. Upon reflection, I am sure that you will realize that such a debate is not truly of a multidisciplinary nature, but, rather, at times, it has degenerated into the perception of simply two professions jockeying for a position of power in a fast changing consumer-driven marketplace. I offer today the experiences of my law firm, because I think that our view of a multidisciplinary practice might well reflect the view of many members of this Section gathered in Ohio today, which, I submit, includes multidisciplinary professional relationships of a different type than that of our distinguished colleagues who have previously addressed the Commission.

Extractions: Text Version FINANCING ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY: More on AT-Related Services for Children Ron Sibert, Funding Specialist, DATI The two primary assistive technology funding sources for children, the Medicaid Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT), and Public School Special Education programs, were discussed in a previous issue of the AT Messenger. However, children with disabilities and their families sometimes have difficulty accessing or qualifying for these programs because of age, family income level, type of disability, the nature of their needs, policy barriers, etc. Still, persistence, creativity, and the right information often work wonders. There are other options, so don't give up! The 1993 article discussed Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This law calls for the consideration of AT in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) of school-age children with disabilities in special education. Still, several questions may have come to mind such as: "What about younger kids?" or "What about the children with disabilities who do not qualify for special education services?" Next, school-age children and youth with disabilities who do not qualify for special education services are still entitled to assistive technology in school under two additional laws. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires schools to furnish such students with whatever aids are necessary for them to receive an appropriate public education at no cost to the student's family. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a nondiscrimination statute. Under Title II of the Act, public entities must provide program access in an integrated setting (unless separate programs are necessary to ensure equal benefits or services). In the context of public education, the ADA requires schools to make their programs and services accessible to children with disabilities. The school may employ assistive technology or a variety of other means to make the necessary accommodations.

Extractions: More... Questions or comments? Please mail us! by Eugene Heideman As she moved from church to church, Ruth learned about Jesus while participating in congregational life in important ways. Jesus taught his disciples that he wanted them to welcome and to love all those who were baptized into the life of the church, from the youngest child to the most senior citizen, from those with intellectual gifts to the academically challenged, from the greatest athlete to the most physically disabled. He wanted his disciples to help each person locate and use every talent in the ministry of the church. So great is the range of capacities of individuals and the diversity of gifts that it can take a measure of creativity and imagination to appreciate the contribution each person can make in enabling the congregation to grow in spirit, in love, and in ministry. A Variety of Needs Ministering to people who are developmentally disabled can be quite different from ministry with those who are physically disabled. A person who is confined to a wheelchair may be quite mentally astute. A person with a brain injury may have complete and full use of his or her limbs. It is important to remember that not all people with disabilities require the same accommodations, or the same ministries, and it may not be possible for a single church to accommodate everyone's needs. Whether your church is dedicated to accessibility or educational classes, it is important to remember that focusing on one thing that fosters ministry with people with disabilities is a step in the right direction.

Extractions: No doubt about it, No Child Left Behind brought tremendous changes to America's schools in the 2002-03 school year. States scrambled to add standardized tests. Schools beefed up programs aimed at struggling students. And, supporters say, the landmark legislation made schools focus more than ever on helping minority, limited-English, and special-needs students. But one thing No Child Left Behind didn't do was provide a true national system for grading schools. All schools in all states must meet test score goals called Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP. But exactly what that means varies widely from state to state. Each state has its own expectations and its own means of testing, making it tough to get an accurate picture of how the nation as a whole is performing. Take the following examples from the 2002-03 school year: Of course, Title I schools that don't meet AYP for two or more consecutive years face an increasing array of sanctions, ranging from having to offer student transfers to bringing in a completely new staff. So it isn't surprising that many educators look at the AYP disparity between states and wonder if it is fair. After all, why should nearly nine in 10 Kansas schools meet the federal guidelines in year one while nearly nine in 10 Florida schools fall short? WHY THE DIFFERENCES?
