The proposed changes reflect revised rules and a repeal resulting from revisions to the Texas Education Code (TEC) and expiration of a rule. The deadline for submitting public comment is April 4, 2004. Specifically, this rule action proposes to amend: Section 89.1053, Procedures for Use of Restraint and Time-Out , would be amended to reflect changes made in TEC, §37.0021, related to the definitions of restraint and time-out and the applicability of the law and rules to certain individuals and entities. During the legislative session in 2003, TEC, §37.0021, was amended to revise language related to the procedures for use of confinement, restraint, seclusion, and time-out. The definitions for restraint and time-out were revised, and language was added to indicate that the law, and any rules or procedures adopted under the law, do not apply to peace officers while performing law enforcement duties; juvenile probation, detention, or corrections personnel; or an educational services provider with whom a student is placed by a judicial authority, unless the services are provided in an educational program of a school district.

Extractions: What is an Individualized Educational Program (IEP)? The California Education Code (section 56031) defines special education as: specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of individuals with exceptional needs (IWENs), whose educational needs cannot be met with modification of the general instruction program; and 2. related services, which are needed to assist IWENS to benefit from specially designed instruction. Special education is an integral part of the total public education system. Other features of special education are: It is provided in a way that promotes maximum interaction between students with and without disabilities in a manner which is appropriate to the needs of both.

Special Ed in NYC Special Education in New York City Legally, districts must provide your child with the services he or she needs to progress in the general curriculum to the best of his or her ability, meet his or her annual goals, and be educated in the least restrictive environment appropriate for his or her needs. Rigid definitions of what services are available in a particular environment are not usually legal. In New York City, however, special education has become an alphabet city of special classes for students with similar disabilities. The Board of Education has recognized that this may not comply with the spirit of the continuum or LRE requirements, and has proposed grouping students in classes based on their academic and behavioral needs, rather than by disability. For the time being, however, parents should probably become familiar with the following options. In June 2000, the NYC Board of Education adopted a new Continuum of Special Education Services. This continuum is a list or a menu of possible special education services and placements. It emphasizes education of students with special needs in the LRE. Because many children in the system were already receiving services under another continuum, it's important to be familiar with both. What follows are outlines of the

Extractions: This book proposes a way to prepare the heart and soul, the nitty-gritty, the critical parts of the IEP in a way that is simple, clear, useful, economical, worthwhile, common "sensical", legally correct and revolutionary. It is different from the way almost everyone has been writing IEP present levels of performance, goals and objectives/benchmarks and statements of service. In 1997 the U. S. Congress detailed the need for increased emphasis on measurable and measured goals and objectives, on students making genuine progress, and on that student progress being regularly and meaningfully reported to parents. This book will help every IEP team member respond effectively and without undue effort to this new Congressional mandate.

The Self-Directed IEP is an multi-media package that teaches students how to manage their own IEP meeting. The video presents 11 steps crucial to directing the IEP meeting. After watching the video, students complete 11 lessons in workbooks that match the steps explained in the video. The teacher's manual provides supporting information to prepare the instructor to teach successful self-directed IEP lessons. Making dreams happen: How to facilitate the MAPS process by Furney, Katie Shepherd; with contributions from Nancy Carlson, George Salembier, Lia Cravedi-Cheng, and Stacy Blow. Burlington, VT: Vermont Transition Systems Change Project. Year 1994 Abstract: This 45-minute videotape and the accompanying manual (previous entry) illustrate the use of an adapted version of the MAPS process in IEP/transition planning. MAPS (Making Action Plans) is a planning tool which results in an outline of where a student wants to go, and how he/she will get there. The process uses a personal futures planning approach, in which plans for an individual's future are built on the dreams and hopes of that person, rather than on the ideas of professionals about what seems "best" for him or her. The videotape contains interviews with people who have participated in MAPS, and their thoughts on the purposes and benefits of the process. A 30-minute, condensed version of an actual MAP allows viewers to gain a further understanding of the process and the roles of the facilitator, recorder, and other participants. Finally, wrap-up interviews with former MAPS participants describe a range of students for whom MAPS might be beneficial.

Extractions: Section 504 prohibits discrimination against handicapped persons including both students and staff members by school districts receiving federal financial assistance. Included in the U.S. Department of Education regulations for section 504 is the requirement that handicapped students be provided with a free, appropriate public education. All individuals who are disabled under IDEA are also considered to be handicapped and therefore protected under section 504 but not vice versa. IDEA defines as eligible only students who have certain specified types of disabilities and who, because of one of these conditions, need special education. Section 504, however, protects all handicapped students defined as those having any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Examples of potential 504 handicapping conditions not typically covered under IDEA are communicable diseases such as HIV infection and tuberculosis, medical conditions such as asthma, temporary conditions due to illness or accident, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, behavioral difficulties and drug/alcohol addiction. Section 504 does not require a written IEP but does require a plan.

Extractions: Q. My child, as well as the children of several friends, are ADHD/LD and attend a parochial school. They're not covered by IDEA because of this. Many of the teachers don't believe that children need to go to the resource room teacher for help, as this is a "crutch." They also don't believe that the service plan (IEP) needs to be followed. Since I teach at this school, my daughter isn't having a difficult time now, but I'm anticipating trouble. How can I make sure that our children get the help they need? Can we take legal action, if necessary, under 504? A. If your child has been evaluated and mandated for special-education services and has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), she should be receiving those services. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) holds that this is true even though children attend private or parochial schools. The Complete IEP Guide: How to Advocate for Your Special Ed Child by Attorney Lawrence M. Siegel is an excellent guide book that you might find useful. In order to assure that your child is getting appropriate services, I would also contact one of the many parent advocacy groups for ADHD and LD for advice and support. You can try:

Moreover, good special education teachers are leaving the profession in frustration with the current IDEA systems overwhelming and unnecessary paperwork burden, contributing to what is becoming a chronic shortage of quality teachers in special education. H.R. 1350 incorporates provisions designed to reduce unnecessary, complex, and burdensome paperwork to provide options - not mandates - for parents and teachers. Specifically, the bill allows parents, teachers, and schools to establish a 3-year Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for children with disabilities; creates a 10-state pilot program that allows states to reduce the IEP paperwork burden on teachers in order to increase instructional time and resources and improve results for students with disabilities; and streamlines and reduces the paperwork burden on states and local school districts.

Extractions: Wednesday, March 31, 2004; Page B01 Zvi Greismann knocked 'em dead last year at a national conference on special education law. In a satirical "newscast" at the conference's gala, Greismann, senior attorney for special education in the Montgomery County public schools, joked that Cuisinart has come up with the Due Processor, which "shreds, dices, cuts, blends, frappes and otherwise destroys" unwanted applications for due process hearings, where schooling disputes are resolved. Showing a photo of elated children, he said, "In Boulder, Colorado, a group of students took to the streets in celebration of their due process victory, where the judges awarded them new sets of parents." With a John Madden display of arrows and circles, he gave a play-by-play of how a school system used its skill to deny a family the placement sought for a child. The skit of inside jokes was greeted by abundant laughter at the National Institute on Legal Issues of Educating Children With Disabilities, a conference in San Francisco attended mostly by lawyers who represent school systems. Now Greismann faces a chorus of boos from local parents who, having watched a tape of the performance, feel it mocked their families and their struggles.
