The legal qualification is termed "other health impairment" (OHI is the abbreviation). Special Education and related services and aids designed to meet patients' unique needs and prepare them for employment and independent living are provided for by federal law under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA), United States Code Title 20, beginning at section 1400. Although there are many rights and entitlements that are available under this act, the reality is that you have to fight for everything that you get because Congress did not fully fund this law, and the schools are always looking for reasons to deny services or reduce them to amounts that their budgets can withstand.

Search the Network: news resources community diaries ... shop I Can See Clearly Now Developmental Vision Therapy and Learning-Disabled Kids By Jane Giles In Chicago’s city and suburban public school districts, students who have been evaluated and identified as learning disabled receive special education services. Support varies and is based on the child’s Individual Education Plan, a comprehensive report developed by a team of designated school faculty. Contingent on the child’s weaknesses and strengths, the plan may include reading support programs, speech/language therapy, counseling sessions with a school social worker and other services deemed appropriate to advance the child’s academic and social/emotional development. While the types of learning deficits and the causes are as varied as the children who experience them, the most common learning disabilities, according to a recent poll conducted by Roper Starch Worldwide, are difficulties with basic reading and language skills. As many as 80 percent of the students diagnosed with a learning disability have problems reading. Although most schools offer excellent programs to assist "reading-challenged" kids, few parents are aware of an option that, with or without a school’s special education services, can produce dramatic improvements in reading-related activities. This option is called developmental vision therapy.

Resources are created and organized around the student, family and teacher. This collaborative process focuses on identifying the strengths of the student and his or her family and extended family. These strengths are used as the basis of the wraparound plan. Rather than sending the student to a placement away from his or her family and community, community-based services are wrapped around the student. The ultimate goal of wraparound is to turn our most frustrating challenges into our greatest successes. After much persistence on the part of the family and school, the Illinois Department of Mental Health agreed to allow the school district, Peru Elementary District 124 in Peru, Ill., to use its state funds (known as individual care grants) intended for a residential placement to wrap community-based services around Kenny. Rather than sending away Kenny to the distant services, the services were brought to Kenny. A plan was developed that would enable Kenny to stay in his home school with his family and community.
