Extractions: This is absolutely devastating to the families of Utah, said Robert C. Enlow, executive director of the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation. Some students have specific educational needs that government schools cannot meet. Rejecting this program denies those students the possibility of receiving the best education possible. House Bill 115, which overwhelmingly passed the Utah House 43-29 and the Senate 17-8, would have allowed parents of disabled children to receive a voucher worth up to $5,455. All 56,000 children (approximately 11 percent of the total student population) who in the prior year were enrolled in a Utah public school and who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), would have been able to use the Scholarship for tuition at a Utah-based private school of their choice. This veto leaves 56,000 children stuck in a system that may not be meeting their educational needs, said Gordon St. Angelo, President and CEO of the Foundation. This bill would have given parents options choices in how their child is educated. Governor Walker effectively stripped them of any say, putting many futures at risk.
Extractions: The Carson Smith Special Needs Scholarship, worth up to $5,455, is available to all children in Utah who were in the prior year enrolled in a Utah public school and who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP).

Extractions: Ten Steps to Successfully Homeschooling Children with Special Needs If you are a parent of a child with special needs and considering homeschooling, you undoubtedly have many questions and concerns. Youre not alone, but you probably know more about homeschooling than you realize. For example, youve spent the first five years of your childs life as his most important teacher. In addition, if your child has been in public school, youve probably spent many evenings and weekends helping your child do homework. Guess what? Youve been homeschooling. My husband, Clint, and I have been theredone that, and now were on our tenth year of homeschooling. Our sons Cj (22) and Shane (15) have been diagnosed with attention differences, and had we left them in public school, it is my opinion they would have inherited more labels as well. Has homeschooling been hard? Sometimes. Interesting? Who said living with children with special needs is boring? Can it be done? Yes! Homeschooling isnt a cure, and it is easier for some families than for others. However, homeschooling has rapidly become a respected alternative, especially for those children with special needs who are being pushed out of public schools. Its not my place to diagnose, label, or tell you how to homeschool your child with special needs. And the issues of medication and counseling belong within the scope of each familys decision-making process. However, with the one-on-one learning that parents provide in a homeschool environment, children with special needs can soar.

Students are encouraged to bring documentation with them when meeting with the Coordinator of Academic and Career Counseling. Rationale: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder poses a particular difficulty to the evaluator of adults and older adolescents. It does so not only because it requires the mental health professional to delve deeply into the individuals past behavior, but because ADHD shares overlapping symptoms with a host of psychiatric disorders and medical conditions. Therefore, a complete evaluation that includes information from multiple sources, objective measures such as rating scales and personality inventories, diagnostic clinical interviews, academic records, etc. has the best chance of making a clear and definitive diagnosis possible. Even with students who have been diagnosed as a child or young adolescent either by a physician, psychologist, or other mental health professional, need a current evaluation because the symptom pattern can change over time, the level of severity of impairment will alter in specific areas over time, and the accommodation needs may differ as a student gets older and/or develops compensatory skills and coping strategies.
