Extractions: Bringing Special Education Students Into the Classroom By Joetta Sack The push for inclusion of the disabled leads to higher expectations. For much of the 20th century, the practice of educating disabled students in regular schools and classrooms was exceedingly rare, almost unheard of. Today, it's a common occurrenceand a sign of how far students with disabilities have come. Yet there's further to go, advocates for such students say. What is now called "special education" has made remarkable gains in the past 10 decades, but the next fightthe one for full educational equity for the disabledwill carry over into the 21st century. "The passage of [the Education for All Handicapped Children Act in 1975] was about getting the doors open and acknowledging that kids were supposed to be in school," says Judith E. Heumann, the U.S. Department of Education's assistant secretary for special education and rehabilitative services. "Today, there's a whole higher level of expectations for the kids," she adds.

Extractions: To fully experience the ABA site, please enable javascript. Special Needs: Domestic Abuse, AIDS, the Disabled, the Elderly, the Homeless Numerous courts and bars have developed programs for groups with special needs. Advocacy for these groups is crucial as their needs are often exacerbated by lower income, thus further limiting their access to justice in the areas of employment, housing, etc. Fifty-seven courts or bar associations indicated in their 2001 survey responses that they support activities addressing special needs. Among the many programs are the following: "He Loves Me Not," the Arkansas Bar Association video on the prevention of dating violence, was distributed to all high schools in the state. The state public television affiliate aired three, one-hour TV call-in programs, using the video in its entirety as a centerpiece. The Georgia Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Advocates for Special Needs Children Committee ensures that school districts are providing the education required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

HOME Search Calendar Maps Service Directory Word Search Four-year-old Veronica was paying attention the day a speaker from the Fire Department talked to her Head Start class about what to do in case of fire. The firefighter carefully explained that if the children ever smelled smoke at night, they should crawl along the ground, wake an adult and call 911. Several weeks later, Veronica woke up and noticed smoke coming into her home from the garage. Recalling the firefighters words, she crawled along the floor into her grandfathers room. She awoke him and he started to jump up, but Veronica reminded him that they should crawl along the floor. They woke her mother and all three crawled to safety. Although the home was gutted by the fire, the family is alive and well thanks to Veronicas quick thinking. The Education Division has two major programs: Head Start and School-Based. The mission of Head Start is to promote self-sufficiency by providing quality, comprehensive child and family development services. The city of Phoenix serves about 3,000 low-income children each year. The program has about 450 employees, including both city employees and those who work for Head Starts 14 delegate agencies. Head Starts dedication to racial, ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity is reflected in its employees, who represent the rich heritage of Arizona. Head Start provides services in education, health, nutrition, parent involvement, social services and mental health. At least 10 percent of all openings are reserved for children with disabilities. Typically, at least 13 percent of the children in the program are disabled or have other special needs.
