Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., said Wednesday the U.S. House Education Committee, of which he is a member, will send a proposal to the federal Department of Education in November that will offer states more flexibility in meeting the standards for special education students under the act. "We've been working for some time on this, because there has definitely been unintended consequences on special education kids, particularly those that have handicapped cognitive skills," said Isakson, a Republican candidate for the seat being vacated by Sen.

Extractions: E nrolling a child at the local public school is a painless exercise for most European parentsunless of course, their child happens to be different. In that case, where they live is still likely to determine whether the child is welcomed into a regular classroom or guided towards a special school. Having a child with Downs syndrome, I realized that the school was not against the principle but was apprehensive because it lacked the means to welcome her, recalls Sophie Cluzel, a mother of four living in a Paris suburb. What ensued was a battle, via an association, with the Education Ministry to win the right to a special assistant, 80 percent financed by the state and reserved for the 18-to-26 age bracket as part of a pro-youth employment policy. Having been granted her request, Cluzel went knocking on company doors to come up with the remaining 20 percent. Now, as part of a collective of parents representing both physically and mentally handicapped children, funds for 20 more such assistants have been granted. If it werent for the drive by families, you wouldnt get anywhere. Even if school is compulsory, too much rests on the goodwill of teachers or inspectors.

Extractions: Note that many of these questions are answered at length within this Web site. However, this FAQ section is designed to be a quick reference guide. The five distinct differences between AAASP and most other programs of which you may be aware are as follows: AAASP is an interscholastic amateur athletics program designed specifically for the physically or visually impaired student whom we have deemed, Americas Sidelined Kids. It is the first in the nation to partner with a state high school governing body - Georgia High School Association - to create a dual governance for the provision of equitable opportunities in athletics for all children. As with able-bodied interscholastic programs, our athletes often do rise to a level of talent that makes them attractive to university, adult or club programs, however, elite competition is not our primary focus. Rather, it is getting everyone "in the game" by providing a structure for full inclusion at school in athletics for the physically disabled and the creation and sustainability of regular exercise and socialization through sport opportunities.

One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA 97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent practicable. As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.
