Extractions: ERIC Documents Several factors influence the identification of English language learners with special needs. Limited prior schooling, lack of proficiency in English, native language background, cultural expectations, and personal or family concerns can all influence a learnerçs academic progress. It can be difficult to distinguish between a learning disability and learning problems caused by a variety of other factors. English language learners whose difficulties in school stem from these factors may be misidentified as having a learning disability. In other cases, English language learners who have a learning disability may not be properly identified on the assumption that their learning problems stem from linguistic and cultural differences. To further complicate matters, special needs may not have been identified in the learner's native language but may become evident as the student is learning English. Traditional identification instruments designed for English speakers may not be valid with English language learners. Identification of English language learners with special needs should include consideration of the following factors:

Extractions: Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy results from the pioneering teamwork over seventeen years of Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins. Dr. Paul Nordoff was a graduate of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music and the Juilliard Graduate School. He was Professor of Music at Bard College from 1949 to 1958. He received many honors for his work as a composer, among them the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship and the Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship for music. In 1958, after witnessing the musical responses of disabled children, he became so convinced of the power of music as therapy that he gave up his academic career. Creatively and empirically, and with encouragement from colleagues in research and psychology, he began his innovative explorations with disabled children in Great Britain and Europe. From the onset he found a teammate in Dr. Clive Robbins, a special educator deeply interested in the possibilities of music as a versatile medium of therapy. Following a lecture-demonstration tour and a survey of facilities and music offerings for special needs children in Britain and Europe, Nordoff and Robbins began their American work in 1961 with pilot projects at the Day Care Unit for Autistic Children, Department of Child Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, and the Devereux Foundation. They worked with autistic, emotionally disturbed, developmentally disabled, and multiply handicapped children. Their approach to music therapy developed further with physically disabled and communicatively handicapped children at the Institute of Logopedics, Wichita, Kansas.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate, nearing its first major update to special education since 1997, agreed Wednesday to accelerate spending on disabled children but refused to lock in specific increases. Senators hashed over competing plans to fulfill the promise that Congress made almost three decades ago: the federal government's commitment to cover 40 percent of the cost of educating children with special needs. The matter is significant because states and school districts must pay for whatever expenses the Congress does not. That can amount to billions of dollars that local communities say they need for teachers, training, supplies and construction. Spending is the major sticking point in the Senate's renewal of the Individual with Disabilities Education Act, the 1975 law guaranteeing equal education to children with disabilities. As many as 6.7 million students are in special education. Senators of both parties agree on the underlying bill, which aims to improve identification and intervention of those with disabilities, simplify paperwork for teachers, reduce lawsuits by parents and give schools more flexibility over money.
