Chapter Eight:
Special Needs School
Bus Emergencies
Bus Mechanical Failures Bus mechanical failures, particularly lift-equipped bus mechanical failures are likely the most serious emergencies to occur on special needs buses. When essential bus equipment fails, particularly lift equipment failure, the bus must be replaced during the route. When specially-equipped buses experience mechanical failures, are involved in accidents or are stranded because of road conditions then spare specially-equipped buses must be used. Bus mechanical failures eliminate the ability of the vehicle to be safely driven. Most bus mechanical failures occur in residential areas where there usually is lighter, secondary road traffic. More failures occur when the bus is outbound from the bus garage or parking area before the first student is picked up in the morning or before the first school building is reached in the afternoon at the school loading zone. The empty outbound bus in the morning or afternoon run is easily replaced without danger to students with disabilities but perhaps with some danger to the driver and assistant on board. When students are on board they must be off-loaded and transferred to another receiving, or spare, bus. At the school loading zone students can be off-loaded back into the school building with supervision until the replacement bus arrives.
Out-of-Service
Specially-Equipped Buses
Some students with disabilities, particularly those using mobility aids or who use specialized wheelchairs, may require unique wheelchair securement not available on spare buses. When there is no spare bus and the regular bus with special wheelchair securement equipment is offlineso is the disabled student from being safely transported.

http://www.aacap.org/publications/factsfam/83.htm
S ERVICES IN S CHOOL FOR C HILDREN W ITH S PECIAL N EEDS: W HAT P ARENTS N EED TO K NOW No. 83 Some children experience difficulties in school, ranging from problems with concentration, learning, language, and perception to problems with behavior and/or making and keeping friends. These difficulties may be due to one or more of the following: physical disorders, psychiatric disorders, emotional problems, behavioral problems, and learning disorders (or disabilities). These children with special needs are usually entitled to receive special services or accommodations through the public schools. Federal law mandates that every child will receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. It also entitles children with special needs to receive extra services. To support their ability to learn in school, three Federal laws apply to children with special needs:
  • The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (1975)
  • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of l973
  • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (l990).
Between states, there are different criteria for eligibility, services available, procedures for implementing the Federal laws, and procedural safeguards. It is important for parents to be aware of these laws and regulations in their particular area.

8. Kerry's Conclusions. A Commentary On The Special Needs Of Disabled Children And

http://www.nessasiegel.com/kerry0403.html
Extended School Year Services Often, the IEP meeting to discuss ESY services is held in the spring. However, a delay in holding a meeting to determine ESY services may lead to many summer programs being filled or unavailable for a student. As a result, ESY services should be decided by the middle of April. In the case of some students, there will be no data to show either the presence or absence of regression during breaks. In such case, the student is still entitled to ESY services if the team reasonably believes that the student would experience significant regression and recoupment problems. In this case, the nature and severity of the student's disability may prove to be significant in the ESY analysis. There is no set list of disabilities automatically making a student eligible or ineligible for ESY services. In fact, a school district is not permitted to offer ESY services to only one classification of students. All IEP-eligible students should be considered for ESY services. That said, the nature of some disabilities is that regression is more common when structure and routine are taken away from the student. Students with autism, traumatic brain injury, severe cognitive disabilities, developmental delays, and some emotional disorders are more likely to need ESY services.

December 11, 2003 By Jay P. Greene and Greg Forster A recent analysis by the Palm Beach Post asserted that Florida's voucher program for disabled students lures students into private schools that don't serve their needs. It appeared the day before a state task force met to consider possible changes in the program. The headline bluntly declared: ``Vouchers Don't Help Disabled Students.'' But the Post's claim is unfounded. A Manhattan Institute study of the program found that participating students had much smaller classes, were victimized less often by other students and in general got services that their parents say were better than what they got in the public schools.
Because of their special needs, disabled students are more likely to lack good educational opportunities in the public school system. The McKay Scholarship Program gives them a voucher equal to the full amount of money that public schools would have spent on them, allowing them to seek out whatever schools will serve them best. With more than 12,000 students participating, it's one of the nation's largest voucher programs.
The Post claims that McKay vouchers ``don't help disabled students'' because many of the schools participating in the program don't segregate disabled kids into separate classes. It also claims that McKay schools aren't serving disabled students well because teachers at many of these schools don't have special-education certificates from the state and because the schools are allowed to design their own curricula for special-education students rather than having to follow mandates from the state government.

  • Best school district for special ed?
    Feb. 2004 My husband and I are committed to sending our little boy to public school, andlike most parentswe want ''the best'' school district for him. The only twist is, our son receives special-ed services from OUSD. Are there any special needs parents out there who moved away from Oakland because they wanted a SELPA with a fatter budget? Or more experienced therapists? Sweeter facilities? Mainstreaming with extreme sensitivity and support? If so, how is it working out for you? We'd consider any area, from the Peninsula to Marin to east Contra Costa county. Thanks, Mom of Soon-to-be Kindergartner I would suggest that you contact a support group for the type of disability your child has. Family Resource Network, an offshoot of Bananas, has an office and newsletter that can connect you with other parents dealing with the same issues. Their phone number is (510) 547-7322. I have a 13-year old son with Asperger's syndrome and I gave up on public education 4 years ago. However, every disability is different just as every child is different and you have to do what you feel is right for your child. Good luck. Nancy

    Welcome to my site – I hope you find it helpful. If this is your first visit, click here for a guide to the site. This site is named after the book Uniquely Gifted: Identifying and Meeting the Needs of the Twice-Exceptional Student , edited by Kiesa Kay. Twice-exceptional children (that is, intellectually gifted children with special needs such as AD/HD, learning disabilities, Asperger Syndrome, etc.) have a hard time of it in our education system - because their giftedness can mask their special needs and their special needs hide their giftedness, they are often labeled as "lazy", "unmotivated", "not trying". Many people don't even realize that a child can be both gifted and learning disabled; however, Linda Silverman, Ph.D., the director of the Gifted Development Center has found that fully 1/6 of the gifted children tested at the GDC have a learning difference of some type In addition to being special needs educational advisor for families with twice-exceptional children and Contributing Editor to the new publication

    Disaster Preparedness for People With Disabilities (PDF) Establish a Personal Support Network
    A personal support network is made up of individuals who will check with you in an emergency to ensure you are O.K. and to give assistance if needed. This network can consist of friends, roommates, family members, relatives, personal attendants, co-workers and neighbors. Some people rely on personal assistance services (attendants). This type of assistance may not be available after a major quake. Therefore it is vital that your personal support network consist of different people than those who are your personal attendants. If you employ a personal attendant or use the services of a home health agency or other type of in-home service, discuss with these people a plan for what you will do in case of an emergency. How will you get along in an emergency for as long as 7 days? A critical element to consider in your emergency planning is the establishment of a personal support network. Even if you do not use a personal attendant, it is important to consider having a personal support network to assist you in coping with an emergency. Do not depend on any one person.
