This article was written for The Childhood Brain Tumor Foundation,Germantown, MD 20876 The Importance of Special Education by Daniel Fiduccia Every child with cancer should be in special education and have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). this is important to see that the child receives an appropriate and free public education, his intelligence, achievement, and behavioral skills are tested and compared to end of treatment and for late effects, and his rights are protected. Special education can also provide the child with related services such as transportation, occupational, and physical therapy, and psychotherapy. Services which are necessary for the child to benefit from his education are related services. Many parents pull children on treatment out of school during treatment, or accept school administrator's oral promises about what will be done in the future for the child. They then try to re-integrate the child back in school years later. this puts the child at an extreme educational and social disadvantage, which can be worsened by the child's treatment effects. If it is not in the IEP, the school has no obligation to provide it. Without an IEP, the child is not eligible for such things as home tutoring or an additional set of books for home or the hospital. Schools may also try to force parents to have testing done which is really educational in nature. If the parent tries to have the testing done through their health insurance, the insurance company will deny payment for the testing because it should be done by the school system.

Greene and Greg Forster Since Massachusetts has special education enrollment rates well above the national average, the state's schools labor under both the high cost of special education services and the burden of lawsuits brought by dissatisfied parents. No one is happy with the current system and it is time to consider alternatives to how we ensure services for disabled students. Under the current model, public schools and families agree on a document that outlines what services schools will provide. This document, an Individual Education Plan, is essentially a contract between schools and families. If schools fail to deliver on the services promised in the IEP, families can take their schools to court and force them to comply. Though it might seem like an IEP backed up by the threat of legal action would be an excellent way to guarantee appropriate services for disabled students, in practice this formal, legalistic process is highly inefficient and often fails to protect special education students while causing excessive paperwork and legal fees for public schools.

Mission Statement The mission of the Michigan City Special Education Curriculum is to provide a wide based program which meets the individual needs of our diverse population. Statement of Direction As special educators, we have the responsibility to prepare our students for a productive and fulfilling life as they transition to adulthood. Changes in special education are happening at a rapid pace and the changes are significant. Due to changes in Article VII, American Disabilities Act, Public Law 221, and local requirements, special education teachers need to be proactive in meeting the needs of our diverse population. As special educators, we provide services for individuals age 3 through 21. Unique disabilities and learning needs must be identified at an early age to achieve the maximum benefit of an educational experience. We must also consider the various intelligences, developmental stages and behavioral issues and how they pertain to each individual child. During the past decade, researchers have studied the process of adapting curriculum and instruction.

Contact Your Rights in the Special Education Process Your child is entitled to a free, appropriate public education meaning it is at no cost to you as parents and it meets the unique educational needs of your child. You will be notified whenever the school wishes to evaluate your child for potential special education needs, wants to change your child's educational placement, or refuses your request for an evaluation or a change in placement. You may request an evaluation if you think your child needs special education or related services. You should be asked by your school to provide "informed consent" (meaning you understand and agree in writing to the evaluation and educational program decisions for your child).

IEP Ideas for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children This page was created for the purpose of sharing ideas. We all know that designing an educational experience for our kids is of vital importance. In this endeavor, perhaps the single most important tool available to parents is the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Ensuring that the IEP addresses all the needs of your child can be a tricky, stressful, and sometimes overwhelming task. With a deaf/hoh child there are a myriad of options: residential schools, self-contained classrooms, mainstreaming , etc.... Often there are related services like interpreting and speech therapy. If you are new to the IEP process, rest assured, there are plenty of parents that have already been down the path. Many of them have been very successful in advocating for their deaf/hoh children. This page was created in an attempt to pass some of the expertise of the "more experienced" parents on to those among us who feel we can improve the educational situation for our children. This page contains links to some actual IEP's sent in by parents. The names of the children have been removed for the sake of privacy. What this page is not: The IEP samples here were designed for individual children. The cookie-cutter approach to deaf education will, in most circumstances, end up being a dis-service to deaf/hoh children. Also, I'm sure there are many possible service options which are not necessarily addressed here. This source in by no means complete. Use what you find here as food for thought when addressing your child's IEP development.

Inclusion and Individualized Education Program (IEP) I n c l u s i o n Inclusion is a term used to describe a regular classroom services for students identified as having special instructional needs. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, prohibits discrimination against handicapped people. This law outlines procedures for providing services to students who have physical or mental impairments. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), requires all states and territories, to provide a public school education to children with disabilities from ages 3 to 21, regardless how severe their disabilities are. Federal regulations under Section 504 are very similar to those under IDEA. The primary difference between the two federal statutes is that Section 504 requires reasonable accommodation to ensure non-discrimination, while IDEA provides a sort of Affirmative Action for students who qualify under the Act Individualized Education Program (IEP) The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding document. It establishes a plan for an individual student who is identified as having one or more of the 13 disabilities defined in IDEA. The document should contain: The student's disability
