Extractions: Sign-in for special features Site map Contact Feedback ... Diagnoses Technology Reviews Overview of Assistive Technology Wheelchairs Mobility is very important to all of us. Allowing a child who cannot walk on their own to be able to move, even when doing so may require assistance from others, is very important for cognitive development and social learning. Children are naturally curious and want to explore their environment, and maybe even run away when they are upset. Wheelchairs may allow a child to participate with others at peer level and improve function and independence. The also assist parents and other caregivers by reducing the physical stress of carrying a child. The process of obtaining a wheelchair can be exciting and overwhelming, both emotionally and financially. It can sometimes trigger painful emotions that you may not expect. These may relate to accepting a diagnosis or a degree of permanence of disability, or that the disability will now be obvious to others, or the need to implement changes in housing or lifestyles. Anticipating these feelings and helping families to work through them is essential. First Step: Find a Physical or Occupational Therapist (PT/OT) with seating and positioning experience. Ask the family if their child receives physical or occupational therapy services through Early Intervention, school, or privately. If this therapist has experience in wheelchairs, this is a perfect fit since he/she already knows the child and family. If no therapist can be identified, contact me for an assessment or other resources.

Sack Washington Even as changes in the nation's main special education law headed to President Clinton last week, some educators worried that the bill was too watered down to resolve difficult discipline problems. Groups representing principals and teachers complained that the legislation does not go far enough in allowing administrators to remove violent and disruptive disabled children from classrooms. What's more, they said, a last-minute change may have further weakened administrators' powers. "The legislation offers no language to let schools immediately remove a seriously disruptive student who is disabled," said Sandra Feldman, the president of the American Federation of Teachers.

Extractions: Continued Today, many states are considering including some special education training in their certification requirements for general education teachers. At Syracuse University's education school, a leader in embracing inclusion, general education and special education teachers are taught together and receive dual certification at the end of the four-year program. Douglas P. Biklen, the chairman of the inclusive education department at the private university in Syracuse, N.Y., says the faculty there found that a lot of coursework was duplicated in the special education and general education programs, and decided that all education students would benefit from a combined degree. The program has been popular, he says. "We were a little worried, because whether or not they were interested in elementary or secondary education, they were coming to this inclusive program," he notes. "We were pleased to find out the students came in large numbers." Today, many states are considering including some special education training in their certification requirements for general education teachers. Last year, 22 states required elementary teachers and 21 required secondary school teachers to study some coursework related to students with disabilities, according to an Education Department report to Congress in December. But only 11 states required general education teachers to have practical experience with disabled students before receiving certification. "The general education teacher needs to understand, basically, how the disability affects a child's ability to learn," Hehir says. "They should also expect that they have available to them competent help."
