Extractions: Congressman Denny Rehberg, 516 Cannon House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515 N E W S March 6, 2003 Rehberg Calls for Full Funding of Special Ed Program WASHINGTON, DC - Montanas Congressman Denny Rehberg (R) today told the House Budget Committee the federal government is not keeping its promise to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In just five school years the estimated federal shortfall in IDEA funding has cost Montana $92.7 million, Rehberg told the panel. "This year alone Montana will be shortchanged at least $25.5 million in IDEA funding. That means $25.5 million less for new teachers, computers, books, and Internet access." The 1976 IDEA program directs the federal government to contribute 40% of the costs associated with meeting the needs of disabled children directly to the states and local districts that provide the educational services. To date, local school districts across America are still waiting for the federal government to provide its promised share, Rehberg said. Each time I visit a school in Montana, educators stress the desperate need to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Rehberg said.

Extractions: The Roadless Area Conservation Rule, adopted by the U.S. Forest Service just before President Bush took office, protects the remaining 58.5 million acres of undeveloped national forest lands, including almost 19 million acres in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. However, it is a priority of the timber, mining, oil, and gas industries, and thus of the Bush Administration, to reverse the rule. The Caribou-Targhee National Forest has already begun to test the legal uncertainties surrounding the Roadless Rule in Wyoming by permitting new roads and extractive exploration in the inventoried roadless area of Sage Creek. Earthjustice and Greater Yellowstone Coalition have lodged an administrative appeal, to be followed by litigation if the Forest Service rejects the appeal as expected. Retention of the Roadless Rule remains our best chance to give legal protection to the tiny percentage of our public lands that remain roadless, and thus pristine. Greater Yellowstone Coalition

Shalala today announced approval of child welfare demonstration projects for Montana and Washington state. "In the past two weeks, the Clinton administration approved six innovative state demonstrations with projects to increase adoptions, overcome the problems of substance abuse, and better coordinate services to meet the individual needs of children an impressive effort for America's most vulnerable children," said Secretary Shalala. "Today, we add Montana with its promising efforts to give children more permanent homes more quickly and Washington state with its new local approach to ensure children get the most appropriate services." These demonstrations are among the first to be approved through the expanded authority provided under the Adoption and Safe Families Act signed by President Clinton in 1997. The new authority enables HHS to give states more flexibility in trying innovative child welfare projects.

The organization, which occupies several offices in the HRDC building, serves about 50 children ranging up to 18 years of age said Kathy Leeds, a family support specialist for Quality of Life. The services provided by the organization have been invaluable, said Dottie Wilson, whose 5-year-old daughter, Keeley, has a rare genetic disorder called Williams syndrome. The syndrome delays the development of cognitive and physical functions. It occurs in about one of every 20,000 births.

"Do not use these on good dishes or pans with a shiny finish," she tells the seven students sitting around her. Following her lead, they practice working up a blue lather on some greasy skillets laid out on the table. She moves on to sponges, Comet and Lysol. Nave is teaching a life skills class for seven developmentally disabled students at Havre Middle School. Every morning she covers practical things the students will need to know to live as independently as possible: reading warning labels, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning. "Our primary goal, just like any other kid, is to make them the most productive, well-rounded adult they can be," Nave said. That means different things to each of these students, she said, from reading, communication and social skills to personal hygiene.

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.

Extractions: While certified or licensed professionals are ultimately responsible for success and safety of the students in our classrooms, those tasks would be much more difficult if it were not for paraprofessionals. They have become essential providers of special education support in our schools. In recent years, paraprofessionals have typically been hired to serve in inclusive classrooms. Most assist teachers with the entire class roster, meeting the needs of certain students with disabilities while assisting others too. Some serve as "one-to-one" aides, solely serving the needs of a student with a severe disability. Paraprofessionals work as support personnel under the supervision of certified school professionals. Paras serving in special education positions assist teachers in both instructional and/or non-instructional tasks. Paraprofessionals are known by a variety of job titles, depending on the school district and assigned duties. Some of the more common professional names are: -parapro Paraprofessionals enter their educational employment from a variety of backgrounds. Many have parental and child care experience, some have none. Some have had years of experience as assistants or volunteers in educational programs, others have no such experience. Some lack a high school diploma (or equivalent), while others may possess a college degree. The minimum amount of educational training and experience required of a paraprofessional is usually determined by the individual school system
