Robert is 25 years old and has Down syndrome. EULOGY FOR GREAT PIONEER IN AWAKENING THE WORLD TO THE POTENTIAL OF PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME. I should have done this for others this past quarter of century and at least I will name another father of a son with Down syndrome, who dedicated much of his life to unraveling the medical and physiological facts relating to the condition: that is the late Albert Rosanova, M.D. The late Hans Zellweger, M.D. assisted me with my first pages and continued to provide articles and advice until he died. Another, with his doctorate (but not medical) was our former associate editor Ted Tjossem. Another was former Senator and great Japanese American warrior against social indifference, Sam Hawakaya. Although all of the above were great men, none surpassed Charles Kingsley in doing God's (and that of a whole lot of humans) work while on earth. The following biographical sketch was furnished by his widow, Emily Perl Kingsley , but I want to state that Charles was a past Board member of the NDSC, and that any of the leaders of the Congress this past 25 years, will attest to his humanity, conscientiousness and capability. Also, I suspect they would agree that Jason Kingsley has been and likely will continue to be a model for people throughout the world with DS or otherwise concerned with the condition. The men named above all left the world better than the world they lived in.

Extractions: Standards-Based Reform and Students with Disabilities Back to Spotlight Issues Back to CTEST Home Introduction to the issue Official Documents regarding special needs students Special needs testing in the News Weblinks for further information Introduction to the Issues Most of the states and many local school districts are actively pursuing the latest educational reform initiative: the use of standards-based reforms. Many of these reforms have high stakes consequences for individual students, educators, or school districts. While there has been much discussion of standards-based reform, little attention has been paid to the participation of students with disabilities in these reforms. The educational policies and practices that focus upon common, standards-driven learning for all students conflict in many respects with policies and practices which promote a highly individualized approach to the education of students with disabilities. The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the federal law governing special education, now requires that states and school districts include students with disabilities in education reform initiatives. This means that the individualized education program for these students must address issues concerning each student's participation in standards-based reform initiatives. Also, modifications in testing or assessments must be made to address disabilities.

He is also a contributing editor to Criminal Justice magazine and former chair of the Sections Juvenile Justice Committee. Special Education Issues On more than one occasion this column has addressed the impact of educational issues on the representation of juveniles in delinquency cases: When a Disabled Juvenile Confesses to a Crime: Should It Be Admissible? (Winter 1995); Weapons in Schools and Zero Tolerance, (Summer 1996); School Searches After T.L.O. and Vernonia School District , (Summer 1998). However, there has not been a specific look at the legal issues presented by children who are at risk in the school system and become involved in the juvenile justice system. With the emphasis on zero tolerance and the greater use of the juvenile justice system to address problem behaviors in school, it is important that lawyers become more knowledgeable about education law. Four recent publications make it much easier to be informed about the most relevant education law issues. Sites for delinquent activity Despite the highly publicized and fear-inducing school shootings in the past decade, schools are generally pretty safe places for children to be.

One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA 97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent practicable. As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.

Extractions: Fact Sheet #6 - Assistive Technology and Early Childhood Assistive technology, such as positioning equipment, mobility devices, bath equipment, therapy equipment, augmentative communication, and van lifts can play an extremely important part in the development of a young child with a disability. The major sources of funding are outlined in this fact sheet as follows: First Steps : First Steps is a statewide early intervention system which provides services to children with developmental delays from birth to age three. Services include: Evaluation/Assessment; Service Coordination; Transportation; Assistive Technology and other services that help diminish the effects of developmental delays. Services are based on the child's needs and will be identified by the child's Individualized Family Services Plan. There is no cost to eligible children and their families. For more information, contact Kentucky Early Intervention Service at 1-800-442-0087. Medicaid : Medicaid is a federal assistance program designed to cover medical costs for people with low incomes and is administered in Kentucky as the Kentucky Medical Assistance Program. Generally, income and resource requirements determine eligibility for the program, although anyone who receives SSI benefits automatically qualifies for Medicaid. To receive assistive technology from Medicaid through the Durable Medical Equipment program, a person must have a medical need for the technology and it must be recommended by a physician. More services can be acquired under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Program for children under the age of twenty-one. (See Fact Sheet # 8) Augmentative Communication Devices can be provided for under EPSDT if there is demonstrable medical need for the device.

She improvised. She linked arms with fellow actors. It was an afternoon of belonging. Hope has Down syndrome and attends classes with eight other disabled youths at Ryle. Some use wheelchairs. Some have severe learning problems. Their special needs mean they're usually on the sidelines of school activities. Ann Fillmore is determined to change that. Today and Friday, she's putting on a play called Santa's Workshop with a cast of disabled and non-disabled teens. "I just thought, 'Hey, these kids can do a lot,' " says Fillmore, the special-education teacher at Ryle. Besides letting Hope and her classmates ham it up, the play showcases a course called Peer Tutoring, offered in about 60 Kentucky high schools.
