Extractions: November 2000 The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) emphasized that students with disabilities are to be prepared for employment and independent living and that specific attention is to be paid to the secondary education they receive. The law also requires coordinated and documented planning. Early and meaningful transition planning, which actively involves students and their families, has a positive influence on students' post-school success and independence. This digest describes the process of designing quality IEP transition plans. Taking An Early, Long-Range Approach Generally, an IEP addresses services to be provided to the student during one school year. But when it comes to transition requirements, the IEP team must think and plan several years ahead. The highest incidence of dropping out and of disciplinary actions such as suspension or expulsion occurs during the first two years of high school. To combat this pattern, IDEA requires that the IEP team carefully consider post-school goals when the student is about to enter high school at age 14. Beginning at age 16 (or younger, if appropriate) a statement of transition services needed by the student must be included in the IEP.

Local News Bid to alter special ed law piques interest Sunday, June 08, 2003 By Eleanor Chute, Post-Gazette Education Writer For the parents of many special education students, the federal law known as IDEA is an old friend that has helped ensure that their children get a good education. Parent Janet Courson of Pine, for example, has used the law to help see that her daughter, Emily, 17, who has Down syndrome, has an education program that prepares her for the work force. "The law gives parents the right to participate" in developing education plans for their children, Courson said, and if they disagree with the plan, it gives them some recourse to appeal. But that old friend the Individuals with Disability Education Act is getting a makeover in Congress, and depending on people's point of view, the makeover is either a minor touchup, or major surgery that will threaten parental and students rights. "I think the House bill really weakens the legal protections for kids with disabilities and damages their civil rights," said Nancy Hubley, managing attorney of the Pittsburgh office of the Education Law Center.

Extractions: BEACH BALL PRACTICE ACTIVITIES GRADES: 1-7 Students with disabilities often need more practice than other students to master skills. Using a "programmed" beach ball is a fun way to fit drill and practice in without boring the kids. This idea was shared with me at a math workshop I attended last summer. Blow up the beach ball and hold it with the air hole facing upward. Beach balls are already nicely sectioned (kind of like an orange). So, all you have to do next is draw lines horizontally with a permanent marking pen to create several little boxes on your beach ball. Program the boxes with various information that students need to practice (ideas follow). Some Ideas: In each box, write a number from one to nine. Throw the ball to students and ask them what numbers their thumbs are on. When they tell you, ask them to either add, subtract, multiply or divide. This is an easy activity to individualize because you can ask different students to do different things with the numbers. I also found that it helps students with mathematics vocabulary. (Some of my students always say "take away" or "times" rather than the proper vocabulary). You could even say "find the product" to further reinforce vocabulary.

Extractions: The Special Education Process The need for special education for students ages 5-21 is determined in the following manner: The student has a major evaluation every three years to assure that he or she continues to require special education programs and services and that the IEP continues to be the appropriate educational plan. The CSE process occurs in an orderly fashion with each step building upon the previous one. In this way, all information about the student is obtained and considered. Timelines are in place so that delays are avoided. Parents are an integral part of this process and parental involvement is encouraged.

Extractions: For Preschoolers with Special Needs What is it? The Special Education Preschool Program is a federally mandated and funded service. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) makes a range of educational opportunities available to children with moderate to severe disabilities who are three and four years old. The program is managed by the Saratoga Springs City School District with financial oversight provided by the Saratoga County Youth Bureau. The district does not operate nor supervise any preschool services. Children are served at any one of several county-approved private agency sites in the area, or through home-based and community-based programs. Saratoga County arranges transportation through private providers. Who is eligible? Any child age between the ages of 36 months (3 years) and 60 months (5 years) residing in the school district who is experiencing significant difficulties or delays in development, whether physical, mental, or emotional, can be referred for service. Areas of concern can include difficulties in developing speech and language skills, thinking skills, motor skills or social skills. An assessment is conducted by a state approved evaluation agency to determine if your child qualifies for the Special Education Preschool Program.

Extractions: Site Map July 9, 1999 WASHINGTON Schools can no longer drop educational services for special education students while they are suspended from school for violent incidents, under new regulations approved this spring for the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This may become a difficult issue for schools that do not have the resources to continue educating a student in an "alternative setting," as prescribed by the law, American Institutes of Research Senior Research Scientist Mary Magee Quinn says. Outlining the new rules during the American Federation of Teachers' QuEST '99 Conference, Quinn noted the rules require a school district to continue educating a suspended student in an alternative setting if the suspension lasts longer than 10 days. The students must get all services required for them to continue progressing under their individualized education plans, and any therapies prescribed in the IEP must also be provided as scheduled, the rules state. The continuation of services rule, as well as several other complexities in the new regulations, helped draw dozens of teachers and other faculty members to hear Quinn speak at the four-day teachers' conference. As deputy director of the Center for Effective Collaboration and Practice, Quinn and her staff have studied the new regulations and consulted with government officials and attorneys to clarify the new rules and help school districts implement the changes. The center also offers extensive information about IDEA '97 and other special education issues on its Internet site:

Extractions: Site Map October 7, 1999 WASHINGTON - With a mountain of paperwork, legalities and consequences hanging over their heads like an avalanche waiting to happen, people on all sides of today's special education equation say IEP meetings have become more like battles. But Matthew Cohen, a Chicago special ed. attorney and president of Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder , says there are a few key ways parents, educators and advocates can avoid coming to blows over an individualized education plan. In fact, even though the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act makes due process hearings a legal option for ending such disputes, Cohen argues such hearings should be avoided whenever possible. "Due process is the worst way [to resolve a dispute over a child's special ed. services]. Sometimes it's the only way, if you can't get anything else done," Cohen said during an IEP seminar Thursday at CHADD's Annual Conference. "But there is no way the kid is going to win in that situation." NEW IDEA IEP RULES KEEP PARENTS, TEACHERS IN MIND

Towards the end of 3rd grade, Keith began having trouble with handwriting and getting his assignments completed. Keith's parents, teachers and school specialists met throughout 4th and 5th grade but could not determine what was wrong. By the end of 5th grade Keith was having so much trouble writing that he would take his left hand and hold ít down on his right hand just to keep his pencil steady enough to write. That was taking Keith a long time. Those achievement tests were really tough because of the tiny circles you have to fill in. During spring break in 5th grade, Keith flew back early from his trip to Louisiana to be examined by a doctor called a pediatric neurologist at Children's Hospital in Washington, DC. It was determined that Keith had a rare genetic disorder called
