Extractions: By Zaher Karp College is the anticipated fork in the road for many students, but for those with special needs, this shift is far more uncertain. For students who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), dyslexia, or another learning disability, what are their postsecondary education options? Several programs and schools have been established to cater specifically to students with disabilities, including Gallaudet University, Landmark College, and the SALT program at the University of Arizona. Founded in 1864 by an act of Congress, Gallaudet University (www.gallaudet.edu) in Washington D.C. has been dedicated to the education of the deaf and hard of hearing. The bill was signed by Abraham Lincoln, and Gallaudet College was born. It remained Gallaudet College until 1986, where another act of Congress approved university status. Gallaudet University remains the only liberal arts University for the deaf in the entire world, said Mercy Coogan, a university spokesperson. This institution teaches approximately 2000 undergraduate and graduate students; numbers that were previously unimaginable from its initial enrollment of eight students. This upcoming semester, for the second time in the history of Gallaudet, hearing students will be admitted. These students have expressed a good deal of interest and are, of course, fluent in sign language. They are often the children of deaf adults.

Extractions: GETTING YOUTH ON BOARD Families know how important it is to learn about laws and systems that provide services to our children with special needs. We also know the value of connecting with other families, but what happens when our children grow up and want to be their own advocates? There are not many places where teens and young adults can go to learn about systems, gain leadership skills, and support one another. This led Family Voices to create KASA (Kids As Self-Advocates). KASA is a "virtual organization" based in the office of Julie Keys, Family Voices staffer in Chicago. Julie and her young friends chat through e-mail and phone, represent youth at national events, and are planning to start a website, hold leadership trainings, sponsor a conference, and prepare one another for the adult world. If you are a teen or know of a teen or young adult with special needs who would like to be a part of this exciting movement, tell them to contact Julie Keys at: 312-642-2745 or email: FamilyVoices_JKeys@msn.com

Reforms Crucial To Special Education that public schools remain receptive to disabled youngsters, they allow each parent of a special needs student to The public schools would still provide a wide http://www.cato.org/current/school-choice/pubs/gryphon-020614.html
Extractions: Pocket Constitution Email Updates Cato Audio Cato Store ... El Cato by Marie Gryphon June 14, 2002 Marie Gryphon is a policy analyst with the Cato Institute's Center for Educational Freedom. The Washington Education Association recently released a survey revealing that two-thirds of the state's special education teachers plan to quit over the next five years. Teachers of special needs children cited excessive paperwork and too many meetings as leading reasons for their decision to hit the road, exacerbating a serious existing shortage of qualified personnel. Predictably, the WEA used these results to call for two favorite union remedies, higher pay and smaller class sizes. Union President Charles Hasse said the survey confirms "a compensation and workload crisis among special ed staff." In fact, Washington's teachers and students would benefit most from a rarer prescription - fundamental reform. Washington is held hostage to a federal statute that governs nearly every aspect of special education. Passed in 1975, the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) mandates a complex series of meetings, paperwork, notice requirements and legalistic due process procedures for developing each disabled child's educational plan. While IDEA played a positive role in opening the doors of public schools to disabled children, the statute is a disaster when it comes to the thing parents need most: peaceful, efficient provision of high-quality educational services.

Extractions: Does anybody really benefit when universities cut academic corners to accommodate the disabled? Aug. 17, 2001 Like every child, I dreamt of what I'd become when I grew up. When I was three years old, my mother enrolled me in ballet classes. Aside from growing too big, my feet never could keep in step. So, I'm not a ballerina. Some dreams, it seems, are realistic, some are not. Mary's mother is not alone in encouraging such dreams. In British Columbia, a dozen parents recently organized to promote "inclusive" post-secondary education. Already such programs exist in universities in Alberta and Prince Edward Island, where individuals with mild to severe mental and developmental disabilities attend classes and take part in varsity activities. There are no academic or intellectual standards for admission, no attendance requirements, no grades and no exams. "Graduates" receive their own special diplomas—not to be confused with real ones.
