Bjup.com -- Balance -- Understanding Mildly Disabled Students In Christian Schoo educators would probably agree that our schools must do more in providing for theneeds of mildly disabled students through formal special education programs. http://www.bjup.com/resources/articles/balance/1203.html

Home Textbooks Books Music ... Product Support Understanding Mildly Disabled Students in Christian Schools Joe P. Sutton, Ph.D. Educating mildly disabled students has not been a high priority item on the educational agendas of many private Christian schools. In fact, recent studies show that special education in Christian schools is almost nonexistent, where only between 8 and 16 percent of Christian schools nationwide operate formal programs (Carver, 1989; Sutton, in press). With the emphasis placed on disabled persons in the Scripture (Sutton, 1990) however, most Christian educators would probably agree that our schools must do more in providing for the needs of mildly disabled students through formal special education programs. It is clear, then, that Christian educators must recognize two things with regard to mildly disabled students. One is that these students are not limited to just special education classrooms anymore, and will in all likelihood be present in regular classrooms to some extent. Two is that as mildly disabled students are identified and mainstreamed into regular classrooms, the regular classroom teacher will be the primary educational caregiver for these children, not the special education teacher. Regular classroom teachers in Christian schools, therefore, must be more cognizant of the basic characteristics and educational needs of mildly disabled students. Moreover, given the current novelty of special education in Christian schools, it would profit all Christian educators to know more about this unique group of students. This article seeks to provide answers to three basic questions: (a) who are mildly disabled students? (b) what criteria are used to identify them? and (c) what are some of their general characteristics?

Search the Network: news resources community diaries ... shop What's the Difference? Mainstreaming Physically Challenged Teens By Carma Haley Shoemaker When a physically challenged teen navigates his wheelchair down the halls of his high school, the way in which he reacts with and to other teens can depend a lot on how he got there to begin with. While many think that mainstreaming physically challenged teens to public schools is best, the constraints of time and effort must be taken into effect. Main What? Traditional "mainstreaming" through public schools consists of allowing physically challenged students to be placed in certain regular education classes or activities. While this seems easy enough and is thought to be common practice, the number of mainstreamed teens widely varies. "The percentage of students who are mainstreamed or included varies from state to state, city to city and town to town," says Anne S. Larkin, Ph.D., professor in the special education division and director of the Say Yes to Education Scholarship Program at Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass. "Some systems are fully committed to the concept, and their goal is to bring children with disabilities into their schools and provide the best services possible for these children. These schools develop excellent in-service and training for their faculty and paraprofessionals to ensure success for all students. However, other systems are being more cautious and sometimes unwilling to include children with special needs and, therefore, their numbers are small and their commitment not as strong, or they will only include children with mild to moderate disabilities."

l Metro/State l Partners have some aquatic fun Hueytown softball team members pair off with special-needs students By WILLIAM C. SINGLETON III BIRMINGHAM POST-HERALD As a special-needs student, 18-year-old Laderius McCord has difficulty communicating. But he didn't have trouble letting his paddling partner, Monica Burks, know he prefers being in the water more than in a canoe. Burks tipped over their canoe so McCord would have a chance to float in the murky water of a lake at Oak Mountain State Park. "I don't think he was very amused by the canoe," said Burks, an 18-year-old Hueytown High senior and member of the school's softball team. "He was just like 'water, water, water.' He likes to swim a lot, so I think it was more him wanting to get in the water than in the canoe." The canoeing adventure was a part of a Paddling Partners program that paired special-needs students from Hueytown High with members of the softball team. For three weeks, members of the softball team and special-needs students learned water safety and canoeing, first in the school gym, then at a Bessemer YMCA pool and then at the lake Thursday. The goal of the Paddling Partners program was to build relationships between students with special needs and regular students, said Wanda Westbrook, adaptive physical education specialist for Jefferson County Schools.

I agree wholeheartedly that we need flexibility in our approach to this issue. Yet I know from experience that most of the infractions we deal with on a daily basis in public schools, those that prevent special education teachers from teaching and students from learning are committed by students with mild disabilities who are fully capable of discerning appropriate from inappropriate behavior. I believe we do a disservice to disabled students when we suggest that they all need separate rules of behavior. On one hand, Congress charges educators with the responsibility of preparing disabled youngsters for post-secondary education or jobs. We are expected to practice inclusion and mainstreaming for disabled students and show a positive return on the vast amount of money invested by taxpayers in special education. On the other hand, we are impeded from teaching disabled students to be responsible for their behavior. When the consequences for their inappropriate behavior is different than that for non-disabled peers, we send the wrong message. These same students who are educated with a double standard regarding behavior, are still expected to function in a society that allows no such distinction.

Students With Intellectual Disabilities A Resource Guide for Teachers The Province funds a group of education alternatives known as Provincial Resource Programs (PRPs). These programs are intended to assist districts to meet the educational needs of students in exceptional circumstances. Some of the PRPs provide specific services for students with special needs throughout the province, either on an outreach basis or within a provincial centre. Information about accessing services from the PRPs is included in Special Education Services-A Manual of Policies, Procedures and Guidelines (Ministry of Education, 1995). In some cases, services are being provided by other Ministries, and students involved require educational programs. Examples of this type of program include: Chrisholme, Langley Serves students with mild intellectual disabilities who also evidence social/emotional problems. G.F.
