The law also requires that: "to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities ... are educated with children who are not disabled, and that special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be attained satisfactorily." IDEA Sec. 612 (5) (B). Years of research have contributed to our knowledge of how to successfully include students with disabilities in general education classes. Listed below are the activities and support systems commonly found where successful inclusion has occurred. The regular teacher believes that the student can succeed.

Extractions: Helping Children Overcome Reading Difficulties Books on Learning Disabilities The Survival Guide for Kids With LD : Learning Differences Negotiating the Special Education Maze : A Guide for Parents and Teachers The Difficult Child Advertisement Over 50 years of research on children with many types of disabilities receiving a range of specialized services in many different settings has produced evidence that early intervention can: (1) ameliorate, and in some cases, prevent developmental problems; (2) result in fewer children being retained in later grades; (3) reduce educational costs to school programs; and (4) improve the quality of parent, child, and family relationships. Much of what we know about early intervention effectiveness is drawn from this diverse historical base of information. More recently, researchers have begun asking a more rigorous and differentiated question: For whom and under what conditions is early childhood intervention most effective? This more sophisticated question focuses on the effects of various interventions for specific groups of children relative to the type of program they received. Data from well-controlled research studies indicate that young children with disabilities (e.g., Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, sensory impairments), and those who evidence biological (e.g., low birth weight, premature) and environmental risk factors make significant gains on both qualitative and quantitative measures of development when provided appropriate services. The involvement of their parents in reinforcing critical skills in natural contexts is an important factor associated with the magnitude of the child's progress (Guralnick, 1989).

Extractions: EDUCATION OF THE DISABLED: OPEN THE DOOR* Job Zachariah** A recent study conducted by the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) reveals that out of 12 million children , only one million is attending school. Another study conducted by the Spastics Society of Tamil Nadu shows that on an average there are only six disabled children, per school in Tamil Nadu. The goal of universal elementary education cannot be achieved unless all disabled children are included in the education system. Laws on Education of the Disabled The National Policy on Education (NPE) 1986 advocates integrated education in general school for locomotor impaired children and the mildly disabled children and special education to the severely handicapped children. It also recommends orientation and pre-service training for general teachers on disability management and provision of vocational training. The Policy document says that the objective should be to integrate the physically and the mentally handicapped with the general community as equal partners to prepare them to face life with courage and confidence. All children have the right to be educated regardless of their disability or learning difficulty, because education is a human right. Exclusionary policies and practices however, are widely prevalent all over the country. Many premier schools in the country deny admission to disabled children in violation of their right to education.

schools for disabled still debated. needs separate schools in Hampton and Staunton for specialneeds kids closing both schools and building a new school elsewhere
http://www.vad.org/Schools Still Debated.html

Extractions: Schools for disabled still debated State task force makes a bold suggestion By Hugh Lessig Daily Press Published December 26, 2003 RICHMOND The 2004 General Assembly session offers the chance to end a debate that has dragged on since 1979: whether Virginia needs separate schools in Hampton and Staunton for special-needs kids. A state task force has recommended, by a slim margin, closing both schools and building a new school elsewhere. It makes the most educational and economic sense, members said. It also might be the most politically hazardous. Expect an uphill battle for this proposal when lawmakers get down to business next month. Historically, lawmakers in Hampton and Staunton have resisted efforts to close either campus. The issue has become more complicated as the two schools evolved to serve different types of students. The Staunton school handles traditional deaf and/or blind students. The Hampton school serves more complex needs - children with multiple disabilities such as cerebral palsy who may also be blind or deaf. Some say both schools should remain open but downsized so each can focus on its particular population. One key senator thinks the General Assembly may still embrace that idea.

Extractions: School and work Topics Introduction Links Promoting Integration Alleviates Disability Where and how disabled children best learn how to live with their handicap is a question to which no satisfactory answer has yet been found in Germany. Virtually all the experts believe that excluding people with disabilities from the general world of education does not usually have any positive effect on their development. However, integrated education remains the exception. âSpecial schoolâ is still the official term used in Germany for schools for children with special needs. However, the name itself causes unease and protest amongst those affected, because it reflects a tendency in the attitude of our modern success-oriented society towards people with physical and mental disabilities. In Germany today, it is still the case that over 90 percent of disabled pupils attend a special school open only to people with disabilities. Only about ten percent attend normal schools â a figure which is strikingly below the average for industrial countries. Internationally, the trend is clearly towards a school system which does not separate out children with special needs, but integrates them from the outset into the generally accessible school system. Even though committed teachers and parents have been calling for integrated support for disabled children for more than 25 years, integrated teaching models are still the exception in the German school system. As a rule, disabled children attend special schools adapted to the particular needs of the pupils. The most common types of special school are schools for pupils with severely impaired hearing, for the deaf, for pupils with severely impaired sight, for the blind, for those with learning disabilities, for the mentally disabled, for the physically handicapped, for those with language disabilities, for those with behavioural problems and those with educational difficulties. However, the types of special schools vary widely between the various L¤nder in Germany, since, as is the case with all other educational issues in Germany, responsibility for teaching at special schools rests with the L¤nder.

Extractions: Print version: page 58 Proposed language in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)the federal law that governs special educationcould trigger a shift in the way schools identify children with learning disabilities. The House and Senate versions of the bill that will reauthorize IDEA explicitly say schools wouldn't be required to use the traditional method of determining learning disabilitythe IQ-achievement discrepancy model, which identifies children as learning disabled (LD) when their scores on achievement tests are significantly lower than their IQ. The new versions of IDEA also include language that opens the way for an alternative identification method. But the potential changes aren't without debate. While many psychologists and educators agree that IQ-achievement discrepancy has flaws, they are split on what to do next. Some argue for particular models as replacements; others caution that rushing to replace the discrepancy model could result in substituting one flawed system for another.

Extractions: What are they? What is being done Speech therapy is available for pupils in Estonian general education schools upon necessity. However, regular schools cannot meet other special needs, as a rule. Special needs, created due to disabilities, functional or social limitations, handicaps or other peculiarities of pupils, require special methods and equipment in order to acquire general education - without compensation of the kind, education could remain out of reach for challenged learners. Tiger Leap Foundation supports access of pupils with special needs to general education by making information and communication technologies (ICT) available for that purpose. The project is called "ICT in the Education of Pupils with Special Needs". It provides backing to support centres, counselling children with special needs, their parents, teachers, officials in education and all interested parties. The educational special needs support centre for children with learning difficulties operates on the basis of Tartu Kroonuaia School and disseminates training in ICT use throughout Estonia. Additional information about the support centre is available on the

Extractions: Previous page Table of Contents Next page This will be a good time to review the general guidance provided by departments on the expected conduct and responsibilities of students and staff on field classes, and mutual expectations about behaviour. Sufficient time should be allowed to do this, and to assess any medical needs. The standard health and safety guidance should be explored, and any specific points about activities reviewed. The same general approach is applicable to the provision of documentation as to other areas of the curriculum, namely that it should be as accessible as possible, and made available in different formats if necessary. Excellent practical guidance on this is contained in HEFCE's ' Guidelines for Accessible Courseware ' (February 1999), which explains both the barriers to accessibility, and gives extensive practical advice on overcoming them, particularly through the use of technology. Bold typefaces, large print, or audio-based instructions are examples. Specific issues relating to different impairments are also contained in the other guides in this series . Detailed planning will then be underpinned by appropriate understanding. A general discussion of the extent to which it is reasonable to expect the student to make arrangements, and those matters which will be covered by the department or tutor's plans, will reduce any later misunderstandings. This should include the breakdown of costs between the two parties, general principles of which are covered by the provisions of the Disability Discrimination Act (1995).
