Ryan - whose many ailments include blindness and what his mom calls "a touch of cerebral palsy" - went on a diet requiring extremely accurate food measurements. "They told us there was no way they could keep up with that," Opal Boucher recalls. "That's when I started saying, 'What options do I have as a parent?"' Because they live in Jefferson County, the Bouchers did have an option: Fletcher Miller School, which opened in Lakewood 40 years ago especially for kids with special needs. Ryan, 14, has been at Miller five years. He has learned such skills as dressing himself and brushing his teeth, things his parents say they believe he never would have picked up in a regular school.

24. Social Skills Groups For Special Needs Students Significantly disabled or special needs children are often classroom, with no identified disability were included Dahlia Street, Denver, colorado, 80207, USA e http://www.ispaweb.org/en/colloquium/nyborg/Nyborg Presentations/Todd.htm

Social Skills Groups for Special Needs Students Denver Public Schools PURPOSE: Children who have special needs often experience isolation as a result of their disability. They face greater challenges in the area of social skills for many reasons including: self contained classes, missed or misinterpreted peer communications, and delays in language development. Even with partial mainstreaming, social circles are already formed, circles of friendship which the special needs child may find difficult to enter. Significantly disabled or special needs children are often seen by teachers and peers as “coming into” the regular education class as an “outsider,” as opposed to children with minor disabilities who “belong” in the class and “go out” for additional help or therapy. The purpose of the group is to facilitate the development of social skills including: making friends, being a friend, turn-taking, asking for help, initiating conversation, joining social groups, appropriate expression of feelings, recognizing and choosing appropriate behaviors, and “reading” other people These skills are interwoven with pragmatic language skills. TARGET GROUP: Our initial groups focused on hard of hearing children who had been identified with a mild, moderate, or profound hearing loss and placed in a self contained classrooms The curriculum we developed soon proved useful with students who had other disabilities, including ADHD, emotional disabilities, and developmental delays. Reverse mainstreaming was introduced so students in the mainstream classroom, with no identified disability were included also. No students with severe conduct problems or thought disorders were included.

Race Harassment Students with Disabilities Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 What is Section 504? Section 504 is a portion of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 outlining the civil rights of persons with disabilities. Section 504 covers preschool, elementary and secondary school policies involving placement of children with physical and mental disabilities. This legislation states: "No person with a disability can be excluded from or denied benefits of any program receiving federal financial assistance." Every school district must have a Section 504 Coordinator to help the schools meet the requirements of this act, to answer questions and to ensure that there is an ongoing program to accommodate special student needs. How is "disability"defined under Section 504? A person is disabled if he or she "has a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more of a person's major life activities. These include caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working." When a condition does not substantially limit a major life activity, the individual does not qualify under Section 504.

Students' Work Including special-needs students in regular classrooms seems to improve student academic performance, data show by Peter Farley AMHERST The inclusive-style classroom may be denying elementary school special needs students the attention they require and the education they deserve, according to some local teachers. But an analysis of available data gives a different picture. Now only one question remains: which method of grouping is most effective in helping students, with and without disabilities, to achieve their expected goals? IDEA requires that disabled students be placed in a setting that constitutes the "least restrictive environment." In other words, the government calls for disabled students to be educated with those who are nondisabled, to the maximum extent appropriate. However, teachers such as Mary Donovan, a fourth-grade instructor at Crocker Farm Elementary School in Amherst, say the law is often misinterpreted. The "least restrictive environment" isn’t always the regular classroom for special needs students, Donovan said.

The Tutor interviewed them, some of their colleagues, and three students who have used their services. T he Office of Services to Disabled Students (OSDS) is a sub-unit of the University Learning Center located in Willard Hall. Ruth Fink directs the office, which includes Services for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired, Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Services for the Physically Disabled, and the Learning Disability Program. The staff of the office of Services to Disabled Students work with individual students to meet their needs and to help them to function independently and effectively in the campus community. Though the population of disabled students on the Boulder campus is relatively small, it is concentrated in undergraduate courses. As teaching assistants and graduate part-time instructors work closely with lower division students, knowledge of the resources provided by the OSDS may help them to facilitate the success of their students.

Dyslexia and Biology Professor Richard Olson University of Colorado at Boulder, USA Research on dyslexia at the Colorado Center for the Study of Learning Disabilities has been a highly collaborative effort across several laboratories. It has included investigations of children's specific reading deficits, related perceptual and language skills, brain activity, brain structure, and their genetic and environmental origins (DeFries et al., 1997). Genetic and environmental influences have been studied by comparing behavioral similarities between identical and same-sex fraternal twins, and by the direct examination of DNA from children with dyslexia and from their parents and siblings. Data from identical and fraternal twins can be uniquely informative about the relative contributions from genes and environment to individual differences in reading, and to the severe reading deficits found in dyslexia. Identical-twin pairs are derived from the same sperm and egg, so they share all their genes. Fraternal twins develop from two different sperm-egg fertilizations, so they share, on average, half of their segregating genes (the small minority of genes that vary across individuals). Thus, fraternal twins have the same degree of average genetic similarity as ordinary brothers and sisters, but like the identical twins, they share the same intrauterine environment, are born at the same time, and then share their family environment.

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Hines, Rebecca A. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Champaign IL. Inclusion in Middle Schools. ERIC Digest. Current legislation supports the concept of including students with disabilities in the general education classroom but leaves many wondering, "Is this approach working?" Determining the effectiveness of this practice is a task not easily accomplished. The term itself-inclusion-is not found in any law and is used inconsistently in the educational community. Inclusive programs differ greatly from district to district, both in definition and implementation. Variables such as amount and nature of support provided to the regular classroom teacher differ dramatically from district to district, sometimes from school to school and child to child, and are not easily controlled for research purposes. This Digest discusses the rationale for inclusion of students with mild to moderate disabilities in middle schools, explores recent research on inclusion, and discusses barriers to implementation. OVERVIEW The rationale for inclusion has never rested on research findings, but on principle. Proponents insist that the integration of students with disabilities is inherently right, compared often to the same right to racial integration. The generally accepted concept of inclusion is that students with disabilities attend classes with their general education peers with direct support from special educators.
