My name is Michelle Earley. I began my teaching career in Indianapolis in 1990. I then taught in Shelbyville, Indiana for eight years. When I moved back to Terre Haute in 1999 I was very fortunate to be offered a job at Davis Park. I love teaching children with Severe and Moderate Disabilities. The challenges are great, but the rewards are even greater. We work on a variety of skills depending on the needs of the child. Every child is different and is treated that way. We work at their level and increase the skill level as we see that they are ready. -H. Ginott, Between Teacher and Child back

Its goal is to help people understand what it's like, from the perspective of the children and teens who are doing just that. These kids have become experts at coping with problems that most of you have never heard of. They'd like you to know how they do it, and they hope that you'll be glad you came to visit one of the three areas (one for kids, one for teens, and one for adults). Count Me In This puppet program was designed to help children and adults learn about disabilities and chronic illnesses in an effort to bridge the gap between typical students and those with disabilities included in the classroom. Disability Awareness: Articles by High School Students Disability Awareness Game This is a computer-based classroom game from Parents Inc. that may be used to present different disability awareness ideas in a classroom situation. It is designed to generate discussion based on the many misconceptions people have about disabilities.

92. Children With Emotional Disabilities Need Special Help, IU Educator Says Children with emotional disabilities need special help, IU with children with emotional disabilities, according to Theresa Ochoa, an indiana University School http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/827.html

IU Home Media Relations Home Headlines in Business Education General News Information Technology ... Social Science Other Resources Alumni Athletics Events Calendar Expert Sources ... IU President Children with emotional disabilities need special help, IU educator says Many teachers lack the necessary preparation to successfully work with children with emotional disabilities, according to Theresa Ochoa, an Indiana University School of Education professor who is researching ways to improve this situation. "Teachers expect that students with emotional and behavioral disorders can behave if they want to, but this is the wrong premise because the emotional disabilities within these students are not readily apparent or visible," said Ochoa, an assistant professor of special education who studies emotional behavior disorders. She said the problem is complex as students with these emotional disorders are not able to process information and understand the consequences of their behavior like most children. "This means the results for the student are more often punitive instead of positive," she said. Ochoa is addressing the situation through the development of multimedia ways to train future teachers who work with these problem students. "We are using CD-ROMS and disk case studies in a Problem Based Learning concept. Our students work with disability and school discipline modules that incorporate visual and audio components," she explained. The Web link for the project is

All teacher education students seeking a teaching license in special education will major in either elementary or secondary education and will complete the requirements for licensure in their major area. Students will also complete a series of courses for an additional license in mild interventions. Mild interventions is the new term used by the state to refer to the level of service required by school-age students with special needs. In the past, teaching licenses were given according to specific disability categories; however, future licenses will no longer specify disability categories. The special education course sequence is designed to prepare teacher education students to work with students with special needs who participate in the general education curriculum, and require mild levels of support or mild interventions to be successful. It is anticipated that teacher education students who complete this sequence of courses will work with students with learning disabilities, mild mental disabilities, emotional disabilities, and others who require mild interventions.

"The question that Congress must ask is why have so many states had to introduce resolutions or pass legislation to curb schools labeling and drugging children? Unfortunately, the answer is that until IDEA is reformed, and Congress provides a physically based scientific definition of 'disability,' the diagnosing of children with subjective disorders will continue to be a national problem." Mrs. Patricia Johnson Member, Colorado State Board of Education In 1999, in the wake of the Columbine school massacre, and under the direction of Mrs. Johnson, the Board passed the precedent setting Resolution that called for academic rather than drug solutions for behavioral and learning problems in the classroom. When Congress originally passed IDEA, covering Special Education, its primary purpose was to provide a Free and Appropriate Education for children with hearing, sight, speech and other physical handicaps. Over the ensuing 27 years, the funding has been largely funneled, instead, to children with "learning disorders," a term so subjective that children who fidget, butt into line or interrupt their teachers are so labeled. In most cases they are subsequently prescribed cocaine-like, mind-altering drugs. Many of these children simply have never been taught to read. Clearly, there is a critical need to provide an objective, scientifically based definition of "learning disability," and this must be the central point of reforming IDEA.
