Magalotti then joined forces with two of his fellow instructors from the Mahoning County program for persons with mental and developmental disabilities and started Troop 3. With instructor Dave Virtue serving as its first Scoutmaster, the troop welcomed young men with mental, and also, in some cases, physical disabilities. And it wasn't long before Troop 3 began to have an impact on the lives of its Scouts, its leaders, and the northeastern Ohio communities it touched.

While all countries are committed to ensuring that students with particular needs are given equitable access to educational opportunities and all make provisions for this, the study reveals significant variations in the way this is done. In Belgium (Flanders), Canada (New Brunswick), the Czech Republic and the United States at least 3% of all school students attract additional resources because of recognised disabilities . In Mexico, fewer than 1% of students get such help.

Extractions: http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/forum/ Spring 2004 : cover contents prev next Special Feature Janet Johnson, Ph.D., Rio Salado College H aving two special needs sons was the driving force toward a quest for learning everything I could about how the brain works. As a former elementary school teacher I returned to Arizona State University (ASU) , in pursuit of a Ph.D. in Learning and Instructional Technology. While at ASU, I was part of a research team that went into K-12 and college classrooms to conduct research on how the brain processes information. My research interest in how people learn has taken me in two different directions; first, an 'academic pathway' focused on how to enhance learning from an instructional design perspective, and secondly, an 'early learning pathway' focused on how to impact a young child's ability to learn for life. In 1996, I joined the education faculty at Grand Canyon University where I taught both undergraduate and graduate students for three years. My interest in brain research continued. As new neuroscientific information began emerging, I, along with one of my former ASU research partners Dr. Jill Stamm, continued analyzing and synthesizing all of the latest neuroscientific information on children, birth to three years. This was important to us as we both have handicapped and non-handicapped children. What we discovered about learning and the brain came in part from personal experience with our own children. We were fascinated and surprised to find that learning occurred very fast with our non-handicapped children while learning with our handicapped children progressed so slowly that you could almost watch it in action.

Extractions: If it is not, please click here Background Current Pressing Needs Higher salary levels for personnel in community day and residential programs serving the developmentally disabled. Such salaries, funded primarily by state support, are too low resulting in high turnover, use of untrained workers, and general deterioration of programs. Expansion of day programs for the developmentally disabled, including work activities, sheltered workshops, job placement and training. This is needed for the rising number of public school graduates and residents of newly established group homes across the state. Expansion of group homes for the developmentally disabled, including Intermediate Care Facilities/Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR) for the severely handicapped needing nursing care, and semi-independent living group homes and supervised apartments for the more advanced clients. A state law may be needed, requiring that developmentally disabled group homes be considered as single-family residences under local zoning ordinances, so that group homes can be located in residential areas where land prices are less costly. Inauguration of special care programs in courts and prisons for offenders who are mentally retarded.

Extractions: Ms. Banerjee employs a variety of effective techniques in her classroom, including standardized assessment for placement and curricular purposes and implementation of behavior modification and social skills programs. She also utilizes ongoing formal and informal assessments that allow her to create detailed portfolios to show student progress that may not be evident in quantitative data alone. One of the programs developed by Ms. Fisher is her Peer Mentoring program, where non-disabled students sign up to mentor students in her classroom. This program allows students with disabilities a chance to interact with non-disabled peers and have their friends help them with their work instead of a teacher. It also allows the non-disabled peers insight into the lives of people with disabilities. Ms. Fisher received her Bachelor of Science in Special Education in 1986 from Illinois State University. She has received numerous awards for her exceptional abilities as a teacher of children with disabilities, including "Women of Achievement Award in Education" from the YMCA and Glenbrook North's Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award.
