Cover Story - A Bi-Cultural Program For Children With Special Needs
people with developmental and learning disabilities of all students enrolled in the new york City Public especially those serving children with special needs.
http://www.educationupdate.com/archives/2002/aug02/htmls/coverc_yai.html

Extractions: By Dr. Ronald S. Lenkowsky In a classroom in Whitestone, Queens, young children celebrated the New Year by performing the Lion Dance Parade for their peers, playing the dragons head and tail, reading aloud books in Mandarin and Cantonese, and feasting on traditional delicacies such as wontons, fish soup and candies prepared by their parents. It was Chinese New Year and the children of the bilingual Chinese classrooms at the Clearview School were celebrating the holiday. The bilingual Chinese classrooms are part of an innovative program created by the New York League for Early Learning (NYL) to fill an important, under-served area in early childhood education. NYL is a member of the YAI/National Institute for People with Disabilities network, a group of not-for-profit agencies that serve people with developmental and learning disabilities of all ages and their families.

Extractions: These pieces originally appeared as a weekly column entitled "Lessons" in The New York Times between 1999 and 2003. [ THIS ARTICLE FIRST APPEARED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES ON JUNE 19, 2002 ] A voucher program flunks special ed By Richard Rothstein West Palm Beach, Fla. Florida has two school voucher programs. One, small but widely publicized, pays private tuition for students who abandon public schools that have low test scores. Students from 10 Florida schools, all in low-income areas, can get vouchers next year; experience suggests that few will use them. Less well known is a bigger program open to all special-education students. Any child whom a public school has identified as learning or physically disabled or otherwise in need of special help can get a voucher for private tuition. Across the nation, voucher advocates say private choices should be extended to disadvantaged children, like the poor or those with disabilities, whom public schools have failed. But critics suspect that vouchers are really intended as a step toward privatizing education for the benefit of the well-to-do. Florida's special-education program gives plenty of ammunition to those critics.

http://www.insideschools.org/view/info/info_transportation

Extractions: Transportation How to Get to School Whether they get seats on a yellow school bus or MetroCards to ride the IRT, many New York City public school students are entitled to free or low cost transportation to and from school. The type of transportation and the cost depend on the grade the student is in and the distance between his home and school. The transportation a student in special education is supposed to receive should be spelled out in his Individualized Education Program (IEP). If you would like to know in detail what the law says about school transportation, you can refer to Chancellor's Regulation (CR) A-801. MetroCards, the School Bus, Etc. Students eligible to take the public bus or subway to and from school are given MetroCards at the beginning of the school year. The cards, which can be used on other common forms of transit, such as Staten Island Rapid Transportation Authority trains, can be used only on school days. The cards give a single free transfer on each trip paid for by the school system. Some students get full-fare cards, some get half-fare.
Parents And The School-to-Work Transition Of Special Needs Youth
In Research in Secondary special Education And Visual or Dual Sensory Impairments and Cognitive Disabilities. new york Hunter College of the City University
http://www.kidsource.com/kidsource/content4/special.needs.trans.html

Extractions: The school-to-work transition of the nation's youth has been a major focus of vocational education efforts for the past decade. Educators help students identify their interests and abilities, engage in career education and career development activities, and develop individual education plans. Although these activities are significant, their comprehensiveness and effectiveness are limited by staff and time. "The ratio of students to counselors in public high schools is almost 300 to 1; and school guidance counselors are able to spend less than one hour of every five on career counseling" (Otto 1989, p. 161). Add to this the unique and complicated counseling needs of students with disabilities and it becomes apparent that other actors, primarily parents, must be included in the school-to-work transition of youth. Will defines transition as "an outcome-oriented process encompassing a broad array of services and experiences that lead to employment" (Friedenberg et al. 1993, p. 235). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1990 defines transition services as "a coordinated set of activities for a student, designed within an outcome-oriented process, which promotes movement from school to post-school activities, including postsecondary education, vocational training, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation" (ibid.). This ERIC DIGEST looks at the challenges of effecting successful transitions, particularly for students with disabilities, and parents' roles in the transition process.

Extractions: How can we make inclusionary practices a reality? Many people have ideas about how inclusion should be practiced. Dr. Richard Villa came to Clark County to conduct staff development on inclusionary practices twice this year. He talked a lot about the makeup of the schools that successfully included all kids. Schools that implement effective inclusionary programs seem to have these characteristics: Diversity is valued and celebrated. The principal is actively involved and provides leadership. All students work toward the same educational outcomes based on high standards. There is a sense of community in which everyone belongs, is accepted and is supported by his or her peers and other members of the school community. There is an array of services. Flexible groupings authentic and meaningful learning experienes and developmentally appropriate curricula are accessible to all students. Research based instructional strategies are used.

Extractions: WHAT kinds of special needs children and adults are able to benefit from using Soundbeam? Soundbeam has been most extensively and thoroughly evaluated with children across the Severe Learning Difficulties spectrum including Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities and MDVI. The benefits to children and adults with a range of both genetic and acquired/behavioural syndromes including Autism and ADHD have also been documented. Joyce Hudson, Headteacher, Lambert School, Stratford on Avon, UK "...she'd never done this before...(it) took terrific control and terrific balance, was so motivated by the sound...that she was able to sustain the movement, fantastic. It gives access to a whole world of music making, awareness and pleasure" Sally Silverman, Avon Service for Special Educational Needs, Bristol, UK Ironically, Soundbeam was originally conceived as an esoteric performance tool for professional dancers; the recognition of its significance in the special education and therapy fields is a user-led phenomenon. Therapists in flagship centres such as the Royal Hospital for Neurodisability and the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London, England, the Beth Abraham Hospital in New York and similar institutions throughout the world, alongside hundreds of special schools, have attested to the therapeutic power of Soundbeam.

Extractions: that child's name is ALL children." Carl Sandburg The Special Education Program at Brooklyn College prepares students to work in New York City schools and other educational settings serving individuals with disabilities and their families. The program engages students in a demanding 30 or 36 credit course of studies that leads to provisional New York State certification in Special Education. The Program is responsive to the changing nature of approaches to educating individuals with disabilities and has modified its course work to reflect these emerging paradigms. Most notably, the Program has decreased its focus on categorical disabilities in favor of a more integrated and inclusive view of the field. While older models of training emphasized the uniqueness of particular categories of disability and the need for separate and specialized educational settings, the current approach emphasizes the functional competence of individuals with disabilities and promotes their education in regular educational contexts. This stance reflects the emerging consensus that individuals with disabilities develop and learn in mainstream settings more effectively than in segregated programs created to remediate their specific disabilities. The Program prepares students to work in the ethnically and culturally diverse urban communities in which schools are embedded. Special education teachers are not only aware of diverse behavior and communication patterns exhibited by their students, they are also cognizant of the culturally relative nature of disability. The social constructions of disability, as defined by the dominant and school culture may not match the individual's and his/her family's understanding of the condition. Raising awareness of these potentially contrasting views and beliefs are part of the curriculum at Brooklyn College. As students progress through the Program, they expand their cultural understanding and gain cross-cultural competence.
