FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN PELOTAS Topics in Early Childhood special Education 7.2 of Education University of north carolina, Chapel Hill Intervention with the Learning disabled Child. Journal http://www.iacd.oas.org/La Educa 129-131/halpern.htm
Extractions: Rune J. Simeonsson, Bernardo L. Horta SUMMARY Several studies have described what happens to a family that has a child with special needs; however, little is known about this issue in developing countries. In Brazil, there is a lack of a systematic research on children with disabilities and their families. This study describes the sociodemographic characteristics of a sample of 49 families of children with disabilities enrolled in special schools in Pelotas, Southern Brazil. Family needs were explored through the Family Needs Survey (FNS). The results indicated that comparisons between findings on the FNS in the United States and Pelotas, reaffirm the idea that some family needs are universal. The present study raised some important questions about differences and similarities of the FNS in both countries. Limitations of this study along with suggestions for future research are discussed. Introduction Despite the evolutionary process of integration and normalization that was initiated in the late 1960s, developing countries seemed unprepared to adopt rehabilitative measures. According to Thorburn and Marfo (1990), the major difficulties and barriers that children with disabilities and their families have to face are not only technological but also societal, including attitudes about rights; misconceptions about causes and the problem itself; the potential of disabled people; and the availability of services. In addition, the implementation and planning of services in developing countries is a challenge because i) there are no clear responsibilities by any agency or department, ii) there are no clear goals and objectives in providing services, and iii) there is a lack of an epidemiology of needs (Sell 1984; Simeonsson 1991).

Extractions: Other Resources NCLB requires schools and school districts to demonstrate " Adequate Yearly Progress " (AYP) in raising student test scores in reading and math. This fall, a large number of schools and school districts did not make AYP, including many good schools caught in absurd situations by AYP rules. A school can fail to make AYP if fewer than 95 percent of the students are present to take two standardized tests. Ooltewah High School, Hamilton County, Tennessee Ooltewah High students have one of the highest performing rates in the state, but their school is now labeled "in need of improvement" because only 94.1 percent of students took the standardized math test. Out of 1,700 total students, if three more had been present and taken the test that day, the school would not have been on the list. (Nashville News Channel 9, 9/5/03)

Extractions: Last Thursday, the House Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee approved a resolution to amend the Constitution to require the Congress to pass a balanced budget. The amendment would make exceptions for national emergencies of war. To run a deficit under the plan, both Houses of Congress would have to vote by three-fifths majorities to do so. I am a proud cosponsor of the Balanced Budget Amendment. I strongly believe that the federal government should have to carefully control its spending just as the American family does. A constitutional amendment must pass both Houses by a two-thirds vote and be ratified by 38 states.

Extractions: No Child Left Behind Mandates To Take Effect Immediately By Miles Tager First, the number of students included in each of the ten subgroups identified by the program for accountability was set at forty; many state educators had expected the number to be held to thirty students. The state further established the other critical starting point for the program; the baselines for reading and math that will be used to chart improvement. For grades 3-8, a total of 68.9% of students must be proficient (equivalent to performing at or above grade level, the category used in the state ABC testing program) in reading, and 74.6% in math, Fabrizio said. For high school tenth grades, with tougher state requirements already in place, the base

Extractions: Hello. I recently purchased several of Dr. Levine's books after my 5 year old was diagnosed with fine motor and graphomotor dysfunction. This book has enlightened me as to my son's condition and has made me better capable of helping my son. I am also prepared to speak with his teachers from the very start of school about his condition and now I will be certain not to allow the school system to fail my son for a condition over which he has no control. All I can say is "Thank you Dr. Levine. My boy's ok." I also thank Amazon for publishing reader's reviews which prompted me to purchase this wonderful book. I was so grateful to discover this book. I am a homeschooling mom of 4 and since I work closely with my kids on a daily basis I was able to recongnize some real frustrations in my 10 year old son. It had been suggested that I have him tested for ADD but this just didn't seem right to me. When I read Dr. Levine's profile of the child in Ch. 2, it was as if I were reading about my own child, with a few exceptions. I am confident I have found the source of his frustrations. I am recommending this book to every pediatrician, physician and school teacher I know. I am grateful that my son will have the chance to put this information to use for his benefit from such a young age. It makes me grieve for the countless number of intelligent school children and adults that have been accused of being "lazy" or not "living up to their full potential." Shame on us for not taking the time to understand them.

Extractions: August 30, 1999 North Carolina State Schools Superintendent Michael Ward addressed the forum that was convened by Senator Edwards to focus on recent changes in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Also headlining the conference were two senior administrators from the U.S. Department Education: Judith Heumann, the assistant secretary for special education and rehabilitation services, and Joleta Reynolds, the acting deputy director of special education programs. In a partnership with states and local school districts, an Education Department program will provide $114 million this school year for services to more than 165,000 North Carolina school-age children with disabilities. Another $21 million is earmarked for related services to infants, toddlers and pre-school children with special needs. "Through enlightened approaches to educating disabled children, we have learned that many children with disabilities can achieve more than we ever believed possible," Senator Edwards said. "Congress reformed the program in 1997 to make the act more flexible and less bureaucratic, but it may not have gone far enough. That is one of the reasons I convened this forum," he told teachers and parents attending the workshop.

Extractions: Schools and MCOs will be required to communicate with one another regarding any further needs the child might have within and beyond the Basic Benefit Package as well as coordinate the care the child receives from the Department of Education. MCOs will be required to work with local School Districts, the Division of Public Health, and other appropriate providers to create and implement procedures for linking and coordinating services for children who attend school and receive medical services under the auspices of Individualized Education Plans (IEP) or through similar school-based treatment plans, or who use medical services provided through School Based Health Centers. MCOs should coordinate plan benefits with these providers to prevent duplication of coverage, to assure medical necessity, and to provide for service delivery in a cost-effective manner. It is the desire of DHSS to move all provision of health care services into a managed care setting. In addition to supporting this goal, the present Administration supports maximizing the in flow of federal Medicaid resources to the State and school districts. School-based therapy services (e.g. occupational, physical and speech therapy) have therefore been excluded from the Diamond State Health Plan in order to further this second goal. Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (`IDEA'), 20 U. S. C. 1400 et Seq., requires schools to ensure that special education `related services' (defined in section 1400 (22)) are provided in accordance with each disabled child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). To the maximum extent possible these children must be educated with their non-disabled peers. This least restrictive environment (LRE) requirement has been interpreted to mean that therapy services should be delivered on school premises. The June, 1997 amendments to the IDEA also require Medicaid's financial responsibility to precede that of the schools. 20 U.S. C. section 1412. Medicaid must either 'provide or pay for' these services in the first instance.
