Extractions: Internet: http://ericec.org How are children affected by having a brother or sister with a disability? What support can be provided to siblings of students with disabilities? A short list of opportunities observed by parents and brothers and sisters could include: the insights a sibling will have on the human condition: the maturity many brothers or sisters develop; the pride brothers and sisters report in their sibling's abilities; the loyalty brothers and sisters display toward their siblings and families; and the appreciation many brothers and sisters have for their good health and own families. Below are suggestions for parents and service providers to minimize siblings' concerns and maximize their opportunities: Provide brothers and sisters with age-appropriate information. Most brothers and sisters have a life-long, and ever-changing need for information. Parents and service providers have an obligation to proactively provide siblings with helpful information. Agencies representing specific disabilities and illnesses should be challenged to prepare materials specifically for young readers. Provide siblings with opportunities to meet other siblings of children with special needs. For most parents, the thought of "going it alone," without the benefit of knowing another parent in a similar situation is unthinkable. Yet, this happens routinely to brothers and sisters. Sibshops and similar efforts offer siblings the same common-sense support that parents value. They let brothers and sisters know that they are not alone with their unique joys and concerns.

CSIE -- Special Educational Needs In The Asia Region In China special classes, mainly for slow learners See also CSIE international Perspectiveson Inclusion The Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (1993). http://inclusion.uwe.ac.uk/csie/senasia.htm
Extractions: World Bank Technical Paper Number 261 Asia Technical Series . The World Bank works in conjunction with the UN; it provides loans to developing countries and commissions papers on a wide range of issues. Contributing countries: Bangladesh, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand. Disabled children are at the centre of a movement to improve primary education in Asia which aims to see all children going to school by the year 2000. According to this World Bank Report, the development of inclusive primary education is the best option for achieving education for all in the Asian region where school enrolment rates are still lower than 70 per cent in some countries and where most disabled children receive no schooling at all. An estimated 130 million 'forgotten' children in developing countries, the majority girls, are without any kind of basic or primary education. This 1994 report, which is based on 15 country case studies, argues that universal primary education (UPE) cannot be achieved without the inclusion of children with special educational needs in the system, and that they can be successfully and much less expensively accommodated in integrated rather than fully segregated settings. Educational be nefits for all children may also be associated with quality improvements which are inherent in providing inclusive primary education, through major changes in the way schooling is planned, implemented and evaluated.

If it is found through the screening that a child needs the services of a speech and language clinician, parents will be notified by the school where the child attends.

Further, they appear to be the only line of treatment to which school personnel have direct access. Research has suggested that nearly all educators employ some form of behavioral modification techniques in their classroom. This paper will explore a variety of classroom interventions to assist teachers to work successfully with children with ADHD. These include: classroom structure, teaching modifications, peer interventions, token economies and self-management. The interventions reviewed were presented on a continuum from the least basic modifications needed in the classroom to those in which more time and resources are involved. All the strategies reviewed were evidence based. Also included in the paper is an interview of a general education instructor and an review of the strategies he employs in his classroom.... [ more
