Extractions: Editorial Consultant, LSU School of Dentistry They ran like gazelles and swam like schools. Once they were through, they knew what to do, which was to open wide for the annual oral screening that the LSU School of Dentistry (LSUSD) and the Special Olympics, Special Smiles (SOSS) Dental Health Program held at the 2000 Special Olympics at Tulane University. This year 60 volunteer dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and LSUSD faculty and students screened and educated 541 athletes, which was one more than last year's 540. Due in part to the services that the Louisiana Dental Health Resources/Dental Medicaid Office provides to the Louisiana developmental centers, many athletes had good oral health. "Some of those that we see in the developmental centers came through with a heightened awareness of oral health, and therefore, had little trepidation of the screening," said Charlotte Connick, R.D.H., M.S., assistant professor and the coordinator of the Louisiana Special Olympics Special Smiles Dental Health Program. Besides screening and educating, SOSS is collecting data on this population. Connick and Dr. Peter Fos, assistant dean of the Tulane School of Public Health, are in the preliminary stages of a study that thus far has data on nearly 1,100 who were screened in 1999 and 2000. They will compare the oral health of those who are in the centers to those who are not. "Sometimes caregivers at home are not getting education on oral health for this population," Connick said.

That's the message we received from your responses to July's question: Do we need to revise IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)? Fifty percent of you said IDEA needs serious overhaul, 45 percent said it could use some revision, and 5 percent said "leave it alone." "IDEA mandates lack logic and plain old common sense," said a Louisiana board member. "It is so out of control that we should do away with it completely." Most readers wouldn't go that far. But several said IDEA, which aims to provide educational opportunity to disabled students, has evolved into a complex and unworkable system of rewards.
