Extractions: May 18, 2004 But instead of wearing a cowboy hat, the junior in South Fork High School's special education program, wears a bicycle helmet when he rides a brown horse named Patches. "They make you feel like a cowboy sometimes," said 17-year-old Samuel, who is the only student in his class of 14 to ride a horse by himself. Patches and the school's other horse, Sport, are part of a therapeutic riding program at the Tropical Farms school. Organizers Betty Feldman, a special education teacher, and Charles Paschal, an animal science teacher, say it's one of the only programs of its kind. Two special needs classes from Martin County High School also make weekly trips to South Fork to ride the horses.

Extractions: ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER (ADD): Children with ADD have a difficult time paying attention, show impulsive behavior and are often very active. Parents of these children find that having clear rules and known consequences helps. Sometimes, these children can best manage themselves when on medication. Accepting one of these children means you will have to work closely with the school system to see that the child gets a teacher and a classroom setting that works for him/her. The child's therapist may suggest special parent classes and counseling. This counseling may be for the child, parents and any siblings. ASTHMA: Children with asthma may have frequent coughing and wheezing. They may take medication to control it. Some things which may help prevent asthma attacks are a very clean house and a balanced diet. As vigorous exercise may trigger asthma attacks for some children, parents need to ask their physicians if certain activities should be avoided. Frequently, swimming is a suggested activity as it helps increase lung capacity. If it is serious, there is a chance that the child will miss more than the average number of school days due to asthma. Parents of children with asthma need to be sure that there is cooperation from the school in regard to making up assignments and keeping up with their grade level.
So You Want To Be A Science Teacher...: Special Ed Vouchers Many special education students have higher costs of education. florida actually factored in the level of disability, and provides funds based on need http://www.sciteacher.com/archives/000443.html
Extractions: Follow a future physics teacher through graduate school and student teaching Main Reform K-12 has a post up about a plan in Colorado to provide special education vouchers that would allow special education students to take their state education dollars with them to a private school. Let's look at what this really means...fortunately it doesn't seem too complicated to me. Chett takes issue with this claim, in particular Some parents spoke out against the bill, saying children with the mildest needs would make use of the vouchers and leave the most severely impacted behind in public schools with less money. Chett writes: That petard has hoisted many a voucher opponent, for no evidence is given for this charge. Well, the evidence is not hard to find. Florida was actually the first state to develop a voucher program (McKay Scholarships) for special education students. The Florida vouchers are actually more generous than those being debated in Colorado. Colorado is simply going to provide the basic per-student allocation to the private school ($6,000). Many special education students have higher costs of education. Florida actually factored in the level of disability, and provides funds based on need (which exceeds the state's per-student allocation). However, even Florida's fund transfer based on need does not always cover the full cost of education at a private school. And, guess what. These Florida vouchers leave the most severly impacted students behind.

Other areas are making similar moves - it is government policy to have greater "inclusion", and it is the tendency across western Europe. But Gloucestershire stands out because historically it has had a relatively high number of special schools. Closure pending There are four schools for children with the most severe learning difficulties and they will remain, although one is to be replaced with a new building on a new site.
