A Challenging IDEA: Including Special Needs Students Innovative programs are preparing mathematics and science teachers nationwide to meet new regulations that require them to accommodate students with disabilities in their classrooms. by Joan Seidman Welsh Acute teacher shortages in science, mathematics, and special education have had school districts scrambling to fill vacancies. At the same time, the population of students with disabilities continues to grow. From 1990 to 1995, the number of students served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA ( http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSERS/IDEA In March of this year, final federal regulations for IDEA were published, and all states had to comply with them by October 1. As a result, many more students with disabilities have been moved out of self-contained special education environments into general education classrooms. This practice demands that teachers be knowledgeable not only in their subject areas, but also in strategies and methods for accommodating children with special needs. Professional Development Curriculum Development in Teaching Science to Kids with Disabilities . So far, more than 200 science and special education teachers, university faculty, and administrators have teamed up in either two-day training sessions or preconference workshops held in conjunction with annual meetings of the

Special Education Information for Teachers This section provides teachers and other education professionals with information and resources about teaching students with disabilities. Some of the content will be of use to any classroom teacher. Other topics may be more appropriate for special education teachers or specialists working with disabled students. This site is about effective teaching: The federal IDEA statutes specify the procedures for identification and program planning for students who have a disability that interferes with their learning. While this section includes a discussion of these procedures, our primary focus is on providing teachers with strategies to meet the individualized instructional challenges these students present. Some of these are extensions of good teaching practices you may already be using. Other strategies are specific to particular disabilities or situations. Go where you wish: This is not a linear presentation. Feel free to jump to the sections that will be most directly helpful to you and your students. We have included some general information on differentiating instruction as a starting point. You will also find more detailed information on specific disabilities and their instructional implications, as well as listings of appropriate print and web resources that may also be useful in specific situations. Our goal is to help you quickly find the resources that will help in your classroom.

Read about how the local organization, Balance 4 Kids, has been giving grants in support of Special Education programs in Santa Cruz County. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that disabled students between birth and twenty-two years of age, or until high school graduation, be provided with all “educational and related services” needed to receive a free appropriate education (FAPE). Disabled students requiring specialized settings or interventions beyond the scope of services offered by district general or special education programs, or public regional agencies are referred to Santa Cruz County Office of Education, Special Education Programs. The parents, district of residence, county office, and involved agencies collaborate to develop an IDEA compliant Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) or Individual Education Plan (IEP) based upon student age, levels of functioning and needs. The Santa Cruz County Office of Education’s (SCCOE) Special Education Department is focused upon providing each student with highly effective individualized instruction and related support services so each student will achieve their full educational, social, emotional, and vocational potential. Continuing communication and collaboration with parents, school districts, involved agencies, and local businesses who provide student employment opportunities is essential to our programs.

88. State Slashes Funds For Teaching Severely Disabled: 10/ 23/ 2003 the cost to educate the special needs students whose Dr. Steve Russell, superintendent of schools in Dartmouth for educating its most severely disabled students http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/10-03/10-23-03/a01sr495.htm

Acushnet Dartmouth Fairhaven Fall River ... Building Permits State slashes funds for teaching severely disabled STAFF and WIRE REPORTS School officials across SouthCoast yesterday decried the state's decision to cut back on its reimbursement rate for the cost of special education for the most severely disabled students. Education Commissioner David Driscoll told superintendents in an Oct. 14 letter that the state will reimburse at a 27.6 percent rate, rather than the 75 percent rate it had previously promised. The cut is expected to affect 150,000 special needs students across the state. "It's a devastating cut," said Lawrence J. Finnerty, assistant superintendent for special services for New Bedford's public schools. The cut is likely to measure in the millions of dollars for New Bedford, although Dr. Finnerty has not calculated it yet, hoping the final cut will not be as bad as announced. "Our costs are astounding," Dr. Finnerty said. "Educating children with autism, educating children with emotional difficulties, is extremely expensive." He said the education of the system's high-cost special needs students is state and federally mandated, so cuts will have to come from the general education side. "Unfortunately, this pits the cost of regular education against special education," he said.

To Guide Entry The primary objective of this unit is to sensitize both students and teachers to special education students and their needs and their rights. Many regular education students and teachers have had limited contact with special education students. They have very little understanding of the various handicaps of children with special needs. The information and activities in this unit will help Non-handicapped students get past their misconceptions and misunderstandings about children with handicaps. Teachers must help their students to understand and accept their peers with special needs. Teaching students about the various disabilities the other students have will foster an understanding of students with special needs. It is ignorance about disabilities and handicaps that breeds fear. Through education, non-handicapped students will learn to respect and understand the handicapped students as individuals. The second objective of this unit is to help the mainstreamed child with special needs to feel comfortable, accepted and confident in his or her classroom.

Rights of the disabled child to education Compiled by Gillian Anderson Senior Researcher Childhood Disability Research Project December 2001 The rights of children with disabilities are addressed in a number of international and national laws. INTERNATIONAL The Convention of the Rights of the Child , was ratified by South Africa in 1995. This means that the South African Government is required to bring its laws into line with the Convention’s provisions. Section 23 of the Convention addresses children with disabilities and forbids discrimination against them, and provides for their welfare and for treatment with dignity. The World Programme of Action concerning Disabled Persons provides a policy framework aimed at promoting “ effective measures for prevention of disability, rehabilitation and the realisation of the goals of full participation.” The United Nations Standard Rules on Equalisation of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities set out international standards for a national planning process. The Rules are not legally binding on South Africa. They express important principles of full participation and equality for people with disabilities. The Rules guide a country in developing policies and offer a monitoring system to ensure they are effective.

Sangita and Mala are among the lucky few who study in schools. A majority of the disabled children in the country are out of school. Of the 200 million children in the 6-14 years age group, approximate by 12 million are children with special needs (about 6%) . A study conducted by the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) shows that only a million of these children are attending school (10%). A study in Tamil Nadu, conducted by the Spastics Society shows an average of six disabled children , per school in the state. Education of children with special needs is an area of concern in India. Only a million out of 12 million disabled children attend school. Universal Elementary Education can be established only when all disabled children are brought to attend school. Laws on Education of the Disabled The National Policy on Education 1986, advocates Integrated Education in general schools for the locomotor impaired and mildly disabled children, and Special Education for the severely handicapped children. Also, orientation and pre service training for general teachers on disability management and a provision for vocational training. The prime objective of the policy is to integrate the mentally and physically handicapped children into the general community, thus preparing them to live confident, independent lives.

In a survey of 27 schools covered by the government's schools access initiative (SAI), researchers found pupils displayed a greater level of tolerance and more sensitive behaviour, such as refraining from running in corridors. Integration has seen barriers broken down, the report says None of the schools reported cases of bullying and two specifically said there had been none. The government is giving details of how £50m for improving access to schools for disabled children will be allocated - the first instalment of £220m to be spent in England over the next three years. The Pricewaterhouse Coopers report, Within Reach, was commissioned by the national disability charity Scope and the National Union of Teachers and was published as the Centre for Policy Studies was hosting a debate on the future of special educational needs schooling. The study applauded the government's investment in the SAI of £220m over three years and recommended it continue to support the scheme, which seeks to integrate disabled pupils into mainstream education.
