School nurses need to let their Senators know that they are voting residents of the state and that they want the Senator to support the inclusion of "school nursing services" within Related Services of IDEA.

Extractions: We hope this is a place that parents, advocates, and educators come can find accurate, up-to-date information about effective advocacy for children with disabilities. The Legal Resources page contains many links related to laws that govern eligibility, IEPs, evaluations, placement, educational progress, transition plans, discipline, and educational records - all that are vitally important to parents of disabled children, educators, child advocates, school psychologists, health care providers, and school administrators. Special education law is more than a legal specialty niche. Parents of children with disabilities often describe their first experience with special education law as entering a confusing labyrinth resulting in uncertainty and bewilderment. Teachers and administrators are overwhelmed with the complexity of regulations and paperwork, fearing that failure to do things perfectly will result in a lawsuit. . We hope this section will provide practical and pertinent information necessary to survive and interpret the myriad of rules and regulations surrounding the needs of disabled children. We need your help to make the Legal Resources links current and of high quality. We encourage you to provide us with suggestions of site to link to this resource page. Please
COPAA NewsWatch: "GOING TOO FAR FOR DISABLED CHILDREN" Like an infant, he needs frequent changes. total inclusion, and it proposes the removal of disabled and retarded students from special education and http://www.copaa.net/newstand/arcmo.html
Extractions: By Joseph Bauers "A new student will be coming soon to an Illinois third-grade classroom. He cannot speak; he cannot read; he cannot walk. He can only go a minute or so without drooling. He has no bladder or bowel control. Like an infant, he needs frequent changes. He makes wild, uncontrolled movements and loud, involuntary noises. Whether he can learn anything - beyond simple gestures indicating yes or no - is, as of yet, unknown. But this child, like thousands of others around the country, is part of a little known revolution in education. It is called total inclusion, and it proposes the removal of disabled and retarded students from special education and their reassignment to regular classrooms. In my 26 years in the public schools, I have seen any number of inane ideas spawned by bureaucrats, but this notion stretches the bounds of rationality. It is so wrong and so ill-timed that it challenges our very capacity to wonder. Behind this movement is a hard-core of parents, lawyers, advocacy groups, college professors and education bureaucrats - all of whom are working hard to impose a tyranny of the minority on the rest of us. And they are doing so under the guise of helping those children least able to help themselves.
