EAGLE POINT, Oregon (AP) The kids in Michelle Harper's special education class have their own small victories every day a temper tantrum stifled, two words rhymed. When it comes time to take the standardized tests that the federal government uses to measure public schools, many of Harper's students at White Mountain Middle School merely pick answers at random, not realizing the potentially severe consequences for their school. Across the country this year, thousands of schools were deemed "failing" because of the test performance of special ed students. The results have provoked feelings of fury, helplessness and amusement in teachers like Harper, who say that because of some of their students' disabilities, there is no realistic way to ever meet the expectations of a new federal law backed by the Bush administration that requires that 99 percent of all children be performing at or above grade level by 2014.

Selective Mutism Feb. 2004 My husband and I are committed to sending our little boy to public school, andlike most parentswe want ''the best'' school district for him. The only twist is, our son receives special-ed services from OUSD. Are there any special needs parents out there who moved away from Oakland because they wanted a SELPA with a fatter budget? Or more experienced therapists? Sweeter facilities? Mainstreaming with extreme sensitivity and support? If so, how is it working out for you? We'd consider any area, from the Peninsula to Marin to east Contra Costa county. Thanks, Mom of Soon-to-be Kindergartner I would suggest that you contact a support group for the type of disability your child has. Family Resource Network, an offshoot of Bananas, has an office and newsletter that can connect you with other parents dealing with the same issues. Their phone number is (510) 547-7322. I have a 13-year old son with Asperger's syndrome and I gave up on public education 4 years ago. However, every disability is different just as every child is different and you have to do what you feel is right for your child. Good luck. Nancy

    Extractions: A Parent's Guide to Accessing Programs for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers with Disabilities The regulations for Public Law (P.L.) 101-476, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), formerly P.L. 94-142, the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA), define a learning disability as a "disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using spoken or written language, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell or to do mathematical calculations." The Federal definition further states that learning disabilities include "such conditions as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia." According to the law, learning disabilities do not include learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities; mental retardation; or environmental,cultural, or economic disadvantage. Definitions of learning disabilities also vary among states. Having a single term to describe this category of children with disabilities reduces some of the confusion, but there are many conflicting theories about what causes learning disabilities and how many there are. The label "learning disabilities" is all-embracing; it describes a syndrome, not a specific child with specific problems. The definition assists in classifying children, not teaching them. Parents and teachers need to concentrate on the individual child. They need to observe both how and how well the child performs, to assess strengths and weaknesses, and develop ways to help each child learn. It is important to remember that there is a high degree of interrelationship and overlapping among the areas of learning. Therefore,children with learning disabilities may exhibit a combination of characteristics.

    Extractions: Locally Determined Alternate Assessment (LDAA) is a locally assigned assessment used to measure the learning of a student receiving special education services whose ARD committee has determined that both the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) and the State-Developed Alternative Assessment (SDAA) are inappropriate. The Texas Education Agency requests districts and charter schools to report the performance results for students exempt from the state tests, TAKS or the SDAA on an annual basis. Monitoring the performance results of all students is a major U.S. Department of Education compliance requirement to promote accountability and improvement in public law 105-17, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and in Title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). According to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §101.5(c): Students receiving special education services, enrolled in Grades 3-10, and who are not receiving any instruction in the essential knowledge and skills, are considered exempt according to state law (Texas Education Code (TEC) §39.027). Each exemption must be documented in the student's individualized education program (IEP) (34 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §300.347(a)(5)(i) and (ii)), relating to the content of the IEP and participation in statewide or districtwide assessments.

    Extractions: by Robert Worth If you've ever wondered what the words "special education" mean, consider Saundra Lemons. A tall, gangly 19 year-old senior in a Washington D.C. public high school, she is quiet and attentive. Like the vast majority of children in special ed, she's not blind or deaf or confined to a wheelchair; instead, she has had trouble learning to read. If dollars were education, Saundra would be in fine shape. D.C. pours almost a third of its total education budget into the 10 percent of its students who are special ed. In theoryor rather, in wealthy school districtsthis money buys kids like Saundra all kinds of assistance: special tutoring sessions, a modified curriculum, specially trained therapists and consultants, even untimed tests. But Saundra wasn't born in a wealthy suburb. So when she started having trouble in first grade, she was placedlike many kids in D.C.into a dead-end classroom where she learned nothing. In her case, it was a class for the mentally retarded. It took six years for a teacher to notice that Saundra wasn't retarded at all. Now she's catching up, but probably not fast enough to attend college next year. "You can never make up for that lost time," says one social worker who has helped Saundra.

There are many ideas in this FAQ that will help teachers think about techniques and methods for working with students with disabilities, but the resources on this page are mainly for the many parents who write looking for ideas about helping their children succeed in math classes. When children begin struggling with mathematics, it's important for the teacher and parents to talk about what is happening. Is there a learning disability that is interfering with learning? Does the child have a learning style that requires different instruction than is usually provided in the classroom? Are there modifications that can be made at school or at home to accomodate the student's special needs? There are no easy answers to these questions because every learner faces a different situation depending on his or her own learning needs and the learning environment. The discussions on this page deal with many issues involving school performance and the need for individualized instruction or attention.

    Extractions: Main Special education isn't educating students in New York City, reports the Post. New state statistics on the achievement of Big Apple students with learning disabilities in 2003 showed a shockingly abysmal performance, with only 3.5 percent of the eighth-graders passing the English exam and 5 percent passing the math test. Eleven percent of students in the city are in special education, so New York is throwing away a lot of kids. TrackBack Comments What does "learning disabilities" mean in this context? That wasn't a rhetorical question. I don't know. If a lot of the students are actually retarded, it's not surprising that they don't read up to standard. The "solution" is to stop wasting time pretending to try to bring them up to normal. On the other hand, I have a dyslectic friend who is smarter than I am. They taught him to read, but with some difficulty. If "learning disabilities" refers to problems with a known solution, the school is falling down on the job. Badly. If "learning disabilities" means both of the above, averaging hides what's really going on.
