Yourname@libertyhaven.com Email login: Password: Search for: Books Magazines Music Maps Out of Print Books British Books British Magazines British Music Keywords: Educating the Difficult Lawrence W. Reed Whenever the issue of "school choice" comes up for discussion, somebody in-evitably will claim that the private sector can't be trusted to serve the kids who are, for one reason or another, difficult to educate. Government schools are depicted as democratic, egalitarian institutions that take on all comers, including the toughest cases. Private alternatives are alleged to be inherently elitist organizations that "skim the cream" and leave the challenging kids to their courageous and altruistic public counterparts. This perspec-tive is pure myth. The fact is that children who are troubled, neglected, learning or emotionally disabled, or otherwise have special needs are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. They need help from non-governmental sources, from people who know that you don't have to be a civil servant to be either civil or a servant. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home-schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-toeducate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private-sector body to do the job. The Directory for Exceptional Children lists roughly 3,000 special-education schools and facilities in the private sector nationwide. Their costs of educating a student vary widely, depending in large part on the nature of the disability category served, and may also include the cost of medical care and transportation.

65. Gsa208 to pay the MCOs to provide IDEA related services to disabled children on to develop a comprehensive place of care. district of columbia Contract, pages 25 http://www.gwu.edu/~chsrp/Fourth_Edition/GSA/Subheads/gsa208.html

Special education DE DC MABH MN ... VA DE "6.5.3 School-Based Services Schools and MCOs will be required to communicate with one another regarding any further needs the child might have within and beyond the Basic Benefit Package as well as coordinate the care the child receives from the Department of Education. MCOs will be required to work with local School Districts, the Division of Public Health, and other appropriate providers to create and implement procedures for linking and coordinating services for children who attend school and receive medical services under the auspices of Individualized Education Plans (IEP) or through similar school-based treatment plans, or who use medical services provided through School Based Health Centers. MCOs should coordinate plan benefits with these providers to prevent duplication of coverage, to assure medical necessity, and to provide for service delivery in a cost-effective manner. It is the desire of DHSS to move all provision of health care services into a managed care setting. In addition to supporting this goal, the present Administration supports maximizing the in flow of federal Medicaid resources to the State and school districts. School-based therapy services (e.g. occupational, physical and speech therapy) have therefore been excluded from the Diamond State Health Plan in order to further this second goal. Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (`IDEA'), 20 U. S. C. 1400 et Seq., requires schools to ensure that special education `related services' (defined in section 1400 (22)) are provided in accordance with each disabled child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). To the maximum extent possible these children must be educated with their non-disabled peers. This least restrictive environment (LRE) requirement has been interpreted to mean that therapy services should be delivered on school premises. The June, 1997 amendments to the IDEA also require Medicaid's financial responsibility to precede that of the schools. 20 U.S. C. section 1412. Medicaid must either 'provide or pay for' these services in the first instance.

Highlight for March 2001 Printer Friendly Version Libraries Breaking Down Barriers for Special Needs Patrons The life-size "Kids on the Block" puppets come with personal stories that are used to teach children about disabilities. From left to right: On the table: Eddy Franklin, Joanne Spinoza, and David Franklin (autism). On the floor: Nicholas Murphy (hemophilia) and Renaldo Rodriguez (visually impaired). Data collected by the U.S. Bureau of the Census suggest that as many as 20 percent of the American population live with some level of disability and as many as 10 percent have a severe disability. These Americans rely on libraries to provide a range of materials and services to help them meet their information needs. Traditional offerings such as adaptive technology, large print books, books on tape, and books-by-mail are a staple at many libraries. Other libraries have thoughtful programs to help the disabled and the mentally handicapped overcome more basic challenges of self-esteem and integration into everyday society.

Bilingual-Education Battle May Go to Massachusetts The Boston Globe, January 7, 2001 The bilingual education laws in Massachusetts and New York have come under the scrutiny of a growing anti-bilingual education ballot initiative movement subsidized by California millionaire Ron K. Unz. Unz already has bankrolled two successful anti-bilingual education ballot initiatives: in California in 1998 and in Arizona last month. Massachusetts state Rep. Jarrett T. Barrios, commented that ``The fact that our law hasn't kept up with advances in bilingual education pedagogy leaves a vacuum that becomes a political opportunity for anti-immigrant, anti-bilingual education forces.'' Barrios has assembled a task force in hopes of coming up with a bill to improved the Massachusetts law, which is more than three decades old. Education Week , September - December 2000

Week of October 8, 2000 NATIONAL Report on Hispanics and Education The President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans recently released Creating the Will: Hispanics Achieving Educational Excellence (requires Adobe's free Acrobat Reader ). The report focuses on strategies for closing the achievement gap between Hispanic students and their non-Hispanic peers, whom they lag behind on most traditional indicators of educational achievement. Improving academic achievement among Hispanic students is crucial, the Commission says, because of the sheer size of the population group: one-third of the nation's Hispanics are under 18, and in 25 years, Hispanic children are expected to make up a quarter of the school- age population.
