Extractions: Washington, DC June 13, 2002 The American Association of School Administrators (AASA) today released a new Luntz/Laszlo poll that shows 84 percent of Americans oppose having opportunities denied to non-disabled children because of the lack of funding. Because funding of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is mandatory, the shortfall in funds has typically been made up from other education funding. The shortfall has forced state and local governments to cut funding and eliminate programs for non-disabled students. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Paul Wellstone (D-Minn.) and Rep. Charles Bass (R-N.H.) announced the bi-partisan poll results at a Capitol Hill press conference.

Extractions: Chapter 6 - Individualized Education Program (IEP) Using the Guide Index Introduction Chapter 6 Once the Pupil Evaluation Team (PET) has identified the Individual Educational Program's (IEP's) goals and objectives, the next step is to determine where these will take place. A good place to start this process is to look at the regular educational environment provided at your local school. Remember that the regular educational environment goes beyond the classroom setting. This extends to nonacademic areas such as gym, lunch, recess and extracurricular activities. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), Maine State Education Regulations (MSER) now referred to as Least Restrictive Educational Alternative (LREA). It states that services will be provided to the student in the regular educational environment with nondisabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate. "To the maximum extent appropriate, students with disabilities, including students in public or private institutions or other care facilities, shall be educated with students who are not disabled, and special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of students with disabilities from the regular educational environment shall occur only when the nature or severity of the disability of a student is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily." (MSER, Chapter 101, Section 11.1, p. 58)

Extractions: Healthy and Ready to Work Goal: All youth with special health care needs will receive the services necessary to make transitions to all aspects of adult life, including adult health care, work, and independence. This program of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) is administered by its Division of Services for Children with Special Health Needs (DSCSHN). For more information on this and other programs of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau contact MCHB Communications (301) 594-4185 or go to www.mchb.hrsa.gov While rapid advances in medical science have enabled more than 90 percent of children born with special needs to reach adulthood, youth with special health care needs are much less likely than their non-disabled peers to finish high school, pursue post-secondary education, find a job, or live independently. Few coordinated services have been available to assist them in their development transitions from school to work, home to independent living, and from pediatric-based health care to adult-based health care. The result of this want of focused, coordinated, funded services is that many adolescents and young adults with special health care needs are not provided the opportunities to achieve their lifes goals and ambitions. Families and youth should discuss future goals and transition options with their doctors.

Extractions: Why are learning disabled students' test scores the leading cause of local schools failing to make adequate yearly progress under the No Child Left Behind Act? Educational officials have no simple answers to this question, but they certainly want to figure it out. The New Hampshire Department of Education recently released a list of N.H. schools not making adequate yearly progress (AYP) on the N.H. Educational Improvement and Assessment Program (NHEIAP) tests administered each spring. NHEIAP assesses the skills of third-, sixth- and 10th-graders and rates student performance as novice, basic, proficient or advanced.
