GIVE YOUR SPECIAL CHILD THE GIFT OF TOMORROW Editorial by Gwyn K. Iken Is your child with special needs receiving the education to which he is entitled? Are the goals in your child’s IEP specific to your child? Are all your child’s teachers fully implementing every aspect of the IEP? Are all services listed in the IEP being provided? Do you look forward to your child’s IEP meetings because you enjoy being treated with respect and as an equal participant when IEP decisions are made? Do you feel warm and fuzzy just thinking about your next meeting? If you answered “no” to any one of these questions, you have come to the right place. Becoming a member of Kansans for IDEA Compliance (KIC) can help you change those “no” answers into “yes” answers. Why become a member of KIC ? Why fill out that membership form? KIC is not just another special education website. It is a life preserver for all parents of children with special needs who are drowning in the sea of ignorance, arrogance, and illegal behaviors that characterize Special Education in the state of Kansas.

Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy results from the pioneering teamwork over seventeen years of Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins. Dr. Paul Nordoff was a graduate of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music and the Juilliard Graduate School. He was Professor of Music at Bard College from 1949 to 1958. He received many honors for his work as a composer, among them the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship and the Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship for music. In 1958, after witnessing the musical responses of disabled children, he became so convinced of the power of music as therapy that he gave up his academic career. Creatively and empirically, and with encouragement from colleagues in research and psychology, he began his innovative explorations with disabled children in Great Britain and Europe. From the onset he found a teammate in Dr. Clive Robbins, a special educator deeply interested in the possibilities of music as a versatile medium of therapy. Following a lecture-demonstration tour and a survey of facilities and music offerings for special needs children in Britain and Europe, Nordoff and Robbins began their American work in 1961 with pilot projects at the Day Care Unit for Autistic Children, Department of Child Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, and the Devereux Foundation. They worked with autistic, emotionally disturbed, developmentally disabled, and multiply handicapped children. Their approach to music therapy developed further with physically disabled and communicatively handicapped children at the Institute of Logopedics, Wichita, Kansas.

Home Discussion Board Personal Reflection Opinion Paragraph ... Research Report Research Report In the past, disabled students—students with physical and emotional/behavioral problems—were often segregated from the “normal classroom environments.” The segregation of students, either through special schools or home-based tutoring, was justified for various reasons. Separate schools provided specialized services, tailored to meet the educational needs of children with a specific type of handicap. Moreover, this freed the regular public schools of having to provide services and infrastructure needs of the disabled student population (Circle of Inclusion Project, 2003). More recently, there has been a movement towards full inclusionintegrating students with disabilities into regular classes. In 1975, a law was passed that brought about significant changes in the education of children with disabilities and then in 1990 legislation expanded the services for students with disabilities. While presenting challenges to educational systems, many people feel that full inclusion is a positive public policy direction for the educational system. But the issue remains hotly debated.

34. Is Homeschooling Legal In Kansas? Thus, parents of special needs (eg, gifted, learning disabled or handicapped) children in kansas are free to homeschool those children. http://www.kansashomeschool.org/is-legal.htm

CHECK Home Getting started Is Homeschooling Legal in Kansas? (Please note: the following discussion does not constitute the giving of legal advice and is not intended to be a substitute for competent legal counsel.) Overview Homeschooling is perfectly legal in the state of Kansas. Unfortunately, Kansas’s statutes do not mention homeschooling specifically, and thus some confusion exists on this issue, especially among public school officials and occasionally among local legal authorities. However, among the state's legal authorities, which includes the Kansas Attorney General, the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS), the legal staff of the Kansas State Board of Education, and numerous district courts, the legality of homeschooling in Kansas is fairly well settled. Kansas Statutes The 1996 Kansas Legislature amended K.S.A. 72-1111, the statute pertaining to compulsory school attendance in Kansas, to read as follows: Additionally, K.S.A. 72-53,101 imposes a one-time registration requirement at the establishment of a private school in Kansas: "72-53,101.Each official custodian of a private elementary or secondary school shall register the name and address of the private elementary or secondary school with the state board of education."

Lesley Lababidi with Nadia El-Arabi, Silent No More: special needs people in Egypt . Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 2002. xv + 195 pp. isbn 9774246934. Asian and Middle Eastern publications in English on "special needs" are slowly building up, mainly by people who have studied in Europe or North America. Such works usually take euro-american norms as the gold standard with a passing nod to the 'native' heritage. This is some improvement on earlier practice in which converts to 'modern beliefs' (i.e. recent euro-american hypotheses in the disability field) would heartily denounce the 'backwardness and superstition' of their own country. The two books under review both provide a good deal of information about current special needs service and thinking in India and Egypt, along with some political spin. Differences in cognitive capacities and aptitude for education were noted in the Rig Veda nearly 4000 years ago, and students unable to chant the sacred texts with correct understanding were directed toward physical rather than mental tasks. [1] After some centuries, sporadic notes in the early South Asian Buddhist literature suggest a more nuanced educational approach to slow learners and children with sensory impairments. The benefits of motivating the young child by starting with play, and of activity methods and a practical curriculum, were understood, along with some formal knowledge of childhood developmental stages, elementary audiological assessment, and the need for active learning of parenting skills. [2] Yet the present South Asian population remains unaware of the greater part of this heritage.

This screening will be done during the first two (2) or three (3) weeks of school. If it is found through the screening that a child needs the services of a speech and language clinician, parents will be notified by the school where the child attends.
