Extractions: education for children with disabilities There are two laws you should know about. Most parents know that federal law requires schools to give children with disabilities special help. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a well-known law requiring this type of special education. Another law also affects the education of children with a disability. It is Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 . This fact sheet will give you information about these two laws. Both laws require: Schools to identify every child with a disability who needs more than the regular school program to learn Testing and evaluation of a childÂ’s educational needs Children with disabilities and non-disabled students to attend school together Schools to provide every child with a free appropriate public education (FAPE) There are also differences in the laws. Section 504 makes it illegal for any group receiving federal money to be unfair to a person with a disability. It applies to any school that receives federal money. This includes all public schools in South Carolina. Under IDEA, schools receive money that they must use for children with disabilities.
Lavin - "Special Kids Need Special Parents" too often those without special needs feel uncomfortable them, says Aileen Weiss of south carolina, whose daughter Being disabled doesn t mean being unabled. http://www.homeschoolzone.com/add/lavin.htm
Extractions: by Judy Lavin Special Needs Kids: ADD Asperger's Syndrome Autism Bipolar ... Speech Disorders With 20 million plus families in the United States having a child with special needs, more children with challenges are being mainstreamed into America's public schools. Unfortunately, too often those without special needs feel uncomfortable around a classmate who seems out-of-sync. What's more, they can translate their discomfort into ugly behaviors, such as verbally demeaning or physically hurting the individual with differences. Helping youngsters become more sensitive is always important. Here are some specific ways to make kids feel more comfortable. "First, parents should emphasize that these kids are just like them," says Aileen Weiss of South Carolina , whose daughter Vicki was born with Sturge Weber, a rare syndrome giving Vicki physical and mental differences. "They have the same hurts, fears and joys even though they may be unable to express them because of their limitations."

A Bad IDEA Kentucky, Louisiana, and south carolina recently reported large in the percentage of specialneeds students excused children labeled learning-disabled in order http://www.connsensebulletin.com/badidea.html
Extractions: 'Perverse Incentives' in an Unfunded Mandate Just as before the 1997 Reauthorization of IDEA, a concerted attack is beginning on it. Note this commentary's recommendation that the " ' specific learning disabilities' category should be exised from the law" and the statement that "Evidence suggests that the IDEA does not produce academic gains." Education Week 'Perverse Incentives' in an Unfunded Mandate By Clint Bolick Education Week The IDEA has become systematically dysfunctional and damaging to public schools. A powerful toxin infects our nation's education system, imperiling the ability of every public school to fulfill its mission. It is not school vouchers or inadequate funding, but the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA. Tracing back to the 1975 legislation enacted to ensure equal educational opportunities for children with disabilities, the IDEA now covers 6.1 million schoolchildren at a cost of $41.5 billion annually, accounting for 40 percent of all new education funding over the past 30 years. Because only 12.5 percent of the money is provided by the federal government, the idea constitutes the largest unfunded federal mandate in American education. Far worse, it creates perverse incentives that have deepened stratification within public education to the detriment of minorities and the poor.

Extractions: A Letter from Dr. Ray Barnwell about the Friendship Curriculum Dear Pastor and Sunday School Superintendent, one of my very special friends Brent was a very special person . If you had the opportunity to meet and know him as I do, you, too, would quickly sense his desire to be included in your circle of friendship. In those early days, Sue and I had not yet had any children born into our home. Brent became a frequent visitor to the parsonage, even spending the night with us. He definitely helped to shape the beginning years of my ministry in an incredible way. he had an immense capacity to love. I feel that my special needs friends probably know more about love than those of us who consider ourselves normal. It was my honor and privilege to help Brent in his spiritual struggles and walk, and to eventually baptize and receive him into the membership of Welcome Wesleyan Church. in his church, his school, his work and in his family. I’ve often seen God use Brent as a key person during a revival meeting or a Sunday service. He would walk down the aisle and almost throw himself on the altar weeping. I can hear his words in my mind today as he would say, "I’ve been bad, preacher. I’ve been bad." He knew what it was to confess and repent, and because of his responsiveness to God, he helped to open the door in many services in which the altars would become lined with people praying. Just a few years back, he was recognized as Member of the Year at his church.
