Extractions: Guest column by Paul L. Whalen Special education programs serve about one in every six children in Kentucky. In 1975 Congress passed the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act. The purpose of IDEA, as it is called, was to make sure all children, including disabled children received the appropriate educational services in the public schools. To assist with this federal government mandate, which made all states and local school districts responsible for the education of learning-disabled children from ages 3 to 21, Congres s promised to fund 40 percent of the costs borne by the states and local districts. In other words, the federal government mandated that public schools identify all learning disabled children living within the school district and provide free and appropriate educational services for these children beginning at age 3 and promised to fund 40 percent of the costs. Public schools have made significant strides in educating children with disabilities in the 27 years since IDEA was enacted. Unfortunately, not all of the children who need services under IDE A receive all the services they need. In part, the needs of many of these children are not being m et due to the lack of funds.

Extractions: Plans are being made for a $1 million home in Boone County for people with mental retardation and developmental disabilities who have special medical needs. The Point/Arc of Northern Kentucky hopes to open the home on 59 acres of land it owns along Idlewild Road in Burlington within three years. The Point already operates group homes for the disabled on the property, but the new home is intended to serve 12 to 16 people who need more medical attention than group home residents. "Currently, there are very few facilities like this in Northern Kentucky," said Judi Gerding, executive director of The Point, whose mission is to help disabled people reach their highest potential. "We have 40-some people from Northern Kentucky placed in homes throughout the state and it's quite a distance for their families to travel to visit. "We have great day-care programs for people, but no one is really offering the 24-hour-a-day care. This is something that is really needed in Northern Kentucky."

Paige addressed the national meeting of the National Federation of the Blind in Louisville, Ky. "Our president believes there are no limits to what can be achieved when all Americans have the opportunity to learn, live independently, and pursue their dreams," Paige said. "During his first month in office, the president unveiled his New Freedom Initiative to improve access for children and adults with disabilities including the blind to education and work and the means of achieving their greatest potential. And the Department of Education has a role to play." Paige noted that the Department of Education not only helps to ensure that disabled children receive a free appropriate public education, but also helps to remove barriers to employment and improve opportunities for adults with disabilities.

Extractions: Update on ADA Case Supreme Court Case on Eligibility TOYOTA MOTOR MANUFACTURING, KENTUCKY, INC. v. WILLIAMS We recently analyzed the Supreme Court case, Toyota v. Williams, on this website (Supreme Court Decides Another ADA Case How Will It Affect Our Children?) . Among the comments we have received are requests for more information why this employment case under the ADA does not directly affect our school children. There are two big differences. First, this Toyota case was decided under Title I, the employment section of the ADA. Our school children are covered under Title II (public) or Title III (private) school sections. The qualifications for eligibility and the services considered are not the same between Title I and Titles II and III. If each Title under the ADA had the same provisions, there would not have to be separate and distinct Titles in the statute. Second, the responsibilities to the individual are different. Under Title I of the ADA, Ms. Williams is not owed a job with Toyota. She has no "right" to a job with Toyota. She certainly does not have a "right" to a specific job which she wants. When she voluntarily applied for a job, her prospective employer was quite limited in whether they could even inquire whether the prospective employee has a disability. Once she was hired, if she feels she has a disability that must be taken into consideration in regard to some task she is to perform, she has the duty of proving that she is disabled and pursuing a reasonable accommodation.

Extractions: Special Learning Needs Consultant Estimates of the percentage of U.S. school-age children with learning difficulties are as high as 30 percent. [1] In its 1987 report to Congress, the Interagency Committee on Learning Disabilities summarized a review of available learning disabilities prevalence research and concluded that: In the absence of good prevalence data, the Committee believes that 5 percent to 10 percent is a reasonable estimate of the percentage of persons affected by learning disabilities. It is clear the prevalence is somewhat higher among socio-economically disadvantaged populations. [2] In studies conducted by the Presidents Committee on Employment for People with Disabilities it was found that 10 to 14 percent of adults in the workplace have learning disabilities. [3] A survey of 567 adults with learning disabilities conducted by the association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities (now Learning Disabilities Association of America) found that 210 (37 percent) were unemployed.
