Extractions: The two candidates have divergent approaches when it comes to the role of government and the disabled. Lazio emphasizes less government interaction and more private-sector incentives to encourage assistive-technology development and employment of the disabled. Clinton advocates a broader, more interventionist role for government. Last week, I spoke with both Lazio and Clinton and attended several of their campaign events. I liked much of what both of them had to say and found them both generally attuned to disability issues. Lazio even has first-hand experience with the disabled: His father used a wheelchair for more than a year after suffering a stroke.

http://regional-institute.buffalo.edu/sotr/99/8_huma/8_8.html

Extractions: While developmental disabilities may cause difficulties with learning, communication, and daily activities, many developmentally disabled people can lead full, productive lives. Services that help these individuals live, learn, and work independently can enable them to realize their potential. Such services also alleviate the personal and social costs of institutional living and strengthen families ability to support their loved ones. To assess the regions performance in helping those with developmental disabilities move from school to independent living, this indicator combines information on special education and out-of-home residential opportunities. Data on special education for 1998 come from the New York State Education Department, while 1999 data on residential placement come from the Western New York Developmental Disabilities Services Office (DDSO) of the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC The presence of limited-English-proficient (LEP) students in special education settings has raised a number of questions about the special needs of these students and about effective ways to meet these needs. Just as special education students require specialized instructional programming to account for identified disabilities, mainstream LEP students require tailored educational services that account for their second language status. It is, therefore, reasonable to posit that exceptional LEP students require highly specialized programs formulated on a well-articulated, integrated knowledge base from special education and bilingual/ESL education. SPECIFIC NEEDS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS Special Education is instruction designed for students who require some degree of modification in their educational programs because of intellectual, emotional, sensory, or physical impairments (Glass, Christiansen and Christiansen, 1982). Modifications may include special curricular materials, specialized teaching strategies or behavior management techniques, and specially-designed equipment or facilities. Students with mild disabilities can succeed with modifications in mainstream classrooms. Other students whose disabilities range from moderate to severe in nature require placement in special settings. All special students, regardless of the type or degree of disability, share certain rights and needs, including:

http://www.gothamgazette.com/article/education/20030106/6/44

Extractions: January, 2003 At the Children's School , a public elementary school in District 15 in Brooklyn, children with mild to severe learning, speech, and emotional disabilities, as well as autism and mental retardation, go to class alongside their non-disabled peers. In this small school, a minimum of three adults use a team-teaching approach in classrooms that mix 18 general education students with seven special education students. As a result of this and other effective practices for inclusion of students with disabilities, both the school's special education students and its general education students consistently outperform their peers in the city schools. Inclusion has been the preferred strategy for educating children with disabilities for a number of years now (See Gotham Gazette's article on special education from last year). Unfortunately, successful inclusion programs like the one in the Children's School are still the exception in New York City. Educating students with disabilities continues to be one of the public schools' biggest challenges. Children receiving special education services are by far the students most at risk of academic failure, as I have written here

Contact us Looking at Baltimores experience Small schools hold promise for students with disabilities by Pat Halle Question: Can small schools improve learning outcomes for students with disabilities? Answer: With lots of determination and deliberate effort at the community and school level by parents, teachers, and community members, along with clear and specific support at the school district level... yes. There is enormous potential in small schools to meet the individual learning needs of students with disabilities. The personalized learning environment in small schools creates the possibility that teachers will discover the particular kind of mind each one of their students has, will understand the kinds of learning skills each lesson requires, and will learn to provide the accommodations and modifications in instructional practice that students need. However, small school size alone does not assure that special education services will be delivered in compliance with legal requirements or that instructional programs will be designed for all kinds of learners.
