Extractions: "The question that Congress must ask is why have so many states had to introduce resolutions or pass legislation to curb schools labeling and drugging children? Unfortunately, the answer is that until IDEA is reformed, and Congress provides a physically based scientific definition of 'disability,' the diagnosing of children with subjective disorders will continue to be a national problem." Mrs. Patricia Johnson solutions for behavioral and learning problems in the classroom. When Congress originally passed IDEA, covering Special Education, its primary purpose was to provide a Free and Appropriate Education for children with hearing, sight, speech and other physical handicaps. Over the ensuing 27 years, the funding has been largely funneled, instead, to children with "learning disorders," a term so subjective that children who fidget, butt into line or interrupt their teachers are so labeled. In most cases they are subsequently prescribed cocaine-like, mind-altering drugs. Many of these children simply have never been taught to read. Clearly, there is a critical need to provide an objective, scientifically based definition of "learning disability," and this must be the central point of reforming IDEA.

Extractions: We hope this is a place that parents, advocates, and educators come can find accurate, up-to-date information about effective advocacy for children with disabilities. The Legal Resources page contains many links related to laws that govern eligibility, IEPs, evaluations, placement, educational progress, transition plans, discipline, and educational records - all that are vitally important to parents of disabled children, educators, child advocates, school psychologists, health care providers, and school administrators. Special education law is more than a legal specialty niche. Parents of children with disabilities often describe their first experience with special education law as entering a confusing labyrinth resulting in uncertainty and bewilderment. Teachers and administrators are overwhelmed with the complexity of regulations and paperwork, fearing that failure to do things perfectly will result in a lawsuit. . We hope this section will provide practical and pertinent information necessary to survive and interpret the myriad of rules and regulations surrounding the needs of disabled children. We need your help to make the Legal Resources links current and of high quality. We encourage you to provide us with suggestions of site to link to this resource page. Please
