Extractions: From Chaos to Confidence Introduction to Homeschooling Getting Started ... Join - Volunteer - Support By Linda J. Conrad Jansen, Esq. Many homeschoolers are reluctantly drawn to homeschooling because the schools failed their children. This trend is expanding to include children in special needs programs, resulting in an increasing number of questions from parents choosing to homeschool their children who are interested in continuing or obtaining special needs help from the schools. In many instances a special needs child shows tremendous gains just by being removed from the public school situation and educated at home by loving and caring parents who are able to provide the stimulation and enrichment each child needs and deserves. If services are offered the family is not required to accept them. Many families do just fine without government help, but if you need it, special needs services are available to homeschoolers. A search of the Internet reveals several sites committed to special needs legal issues. The California Department of Education, http://www.cde.ca.gov/spbranch/sed

One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA 97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent practicable. As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.

Extractions: Special Learning Needs Consultant Estimates of the percentage of U.S. school-age children with learning difficulties are as high as 30 percent. [1] In its 1987 report to Congress, the Interagency Committee on Learning Disabilities summarized a review of available learning disabilities prevalence research and concluded that: In the absence of good prevalence data, the Committee believes that 5 percent to 10 percent is a reasonable estimate of the percentage of persons affected by learning disabilities. It is clear the prevalence is somewhat higher among socio-economically disadvantaged populations. [2] In studies conducted by the Presidents Committee on Employment for People with Disabilities it was found that 10 to 14 percent of adults in the workplace have learning disabilities. [3] A survey of 567 adults with learning disabilities conducted by the association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities (now Learning Disabilities Association of America) found that 210 (37 percent) were unemployed.
