Amos: School Expects More The student, David Napier, had been labeled a special needs kid at his old school. DuBois doesn t weed out its troubled or disabled kids, Willard says. http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2003/07/28/loc_wwwcol2amos28.html
Extractions: The W.E.B.DuBois Academy is an educational cult. And after talking with parents, students and teachers there, I've got its religion. Each weekday, all year, its 250 children arise at the crack of dawn to get to school at 7 a.m. There's no summer break. The school's first- through eighth-graders attend 240 days a year, even many Saturdays. Most Ohio schools are open 180 days a year. DuBois' school day ends at 5 p.m., hours after regular schools. Early on a recent summery Thursday, children were pouring out of cars, buses and vans into the academy's entrance, in a bingo hall in Over-the-Rhine. Students and teachers wear the requisite navy blue blazers, khaki pants and skirts. Terrell Amison, an unemployed window maker, dropped off his two sons. He said he moved them from Heberle Elementary because they weren't being challenged enough. They'd been on a waiting list for a year. "I've never heard them talk about school like they talk about this school," Amison says.

Extractions: CHAPTER 15 SPECIAL EDUCATION One of the most litigious areas of public education is special education. Federal laws, regulations, and local procedures greatly impact programming for students with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) most directly applies to special education programs in local school districts. Some of the key requirements of this law are: An ongoing Child Find effort to locate all students with disabilities in the area served by the district. School Based Admissions Release Committees (ARC) to ensure due process throughout the process of identification, evaluation, and placement. Evaluations to determine student eligibility and needs. Development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each student found eligible for special education services. Involvement of parents throughout the process, including making them aware of a detailed set of parent rights. Provision of due process hearings as a mechanism to solve disputes that cannot be resolved through other means. While IDEA is the law most applicable to students who receive services through special education programs, two other laws have serious implications for local school districts.

Extractions: The class clown, the space cadet, the rude or disrespectful teenager, the "children described as immature, unmotivated, lazy, inconsistent, irresponsible"1. . . . For years, teachers, principals, and parents have tried and failed to motivate and discipline these children. Ultimately, they blame the children themselves for their school failure, saying they just don't try hard enough or care enough to study and behave. Recent medical research suggests that many of these children may not be unmotivated, lazy, or irresponsible at all. Instead, they may suffer from a neurobiological disorder called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and they can be helped to succeed in school. In fact, the school system is legally obligated to locate and evaluate children who have this disorder, and if the children are found to be eligible, to provide special education and/or related services to meet their needs.2 Unfortunately, many teachers, administrators, and other school based professionals have had little opportunity to learn about the disorder, how to identify and treat it, or their legal responsibilities to do so. Their lack of knowledge may put children with ADHD at risk of school failure and may expose schools to lawsuits.

Extractions: "The question that Congress must ask is why have so many states had to introduce resolutions or pass legislation to curb schools labeling and drugging children? Unfortunately, the answer is that until IDEA is reformed, and Congress provides a physically based scientific definition of 'disability,' the diagnosing of children with subjective disorders will continue to be a national problem." Mrs. Patricia Johnson solutions for behavioral and learning problems in the classroom. When Congress originally passed IDEA, covering Special Education, its primary purpose was to provide a Free and Appropriate Education for children with hearing, sight, speech and other physical handicaps. Over the ensuing 27 years, the funding has been largely funneled, instead, to children with "learning disorders," a term so subjective that children who fidget, butt into line or interrupt their teachers are so labeled. In most cases they are subsequently prescribed cocaine-like, mind-altering drugs. Many of these children simply have never been taught to read. Clearly, there is a critical need to provide an objective, scientifically based definition of "learning disability," and this must be the central point of reforming IDEA.
Kentucky's Mentally Disabled Lose Medicaid Benefits special Sections. kentucky s Mentally disabled Lose Medicaid Benefits Reported by AP kentucky Council on Mental Retardation director Donovan Fornwalt called http://www.wcpo.com/news/2004/local/04/11/kymedicaid.html
Extractions: 4/11/04 6:15:58 PM Kentucky is excluding 400 to 500 people with mental disabilities from Medicaid benefits. Critics are calling the practice discriminatory. But state officials say allowing mentally retarded and mentally ill people to enroll could cut off access to others who need the help. The Medicaid program serves about 15,000 people in Kentucky. A ruling last month by a federal judge restored benefits to more than 35,000 recipients who were denied nursing home or home health care services. Legal Aid attorneys say the decision to exclude some people with mental retardation or illness violates the ruling. And supporters of the mentally ill say affected families need Medicaid just as much. Kentucky Council on Mental Retardation director Donovan Fornwalt called the exclusion of some mentally retarded citizens unfair. He said those families are often close to the poverty line.
