Historical Perspective ...
Internet Gifted Resources Historical Perspective "Kansas has been a quiet, but effective leader in the education of gifted students. In 1949, the Kansas legislature authorized special education for exceptional children. The legislature listed ten specific types of exceptionality, including "intellectually superior" children. School districts were encouraged to modify school curriculum and instruction for meeting the needs of gifted students. The Kansas Board of Education in the fiscal year 1961 passed the first formal guidelines for gifted programs. In 1969, services were state mandated for the disabled/ handicapped and in 1971 for the learning disabled. Guidelines for these mandates contained regulations that required comprehensive planning in all areas of the exceptionality, including giftedness. During the 1974 legislative session, services for all program areas of exceptionality were mandated (Special Education for Exceptional Children Act, KSA 71-966); and a state plan formulated outlining implementation procedures. The Kansas State Board of Education in the fiscal year 1975 adopted the state plan, with gifted education identified as one area of service to exceptional children. After much planning, discussion, and written proposals, the 1978 legislature mandated the implementation of Gifted Education Services in the state of Kansas, effective July 1980. These services were to provide special education for all students identified as gifted at the elementary and secondary levels.

Financial Assistance
1. Supplemental Security Income The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides cash benefits to needy individuals who are aged, blind or disabled. There is no minimum age requirement for eligibility under SSI. However, unlike ordinary Social Security recipients, SSI recipients must meet certain income and financial resources tests to qualify for the program's benefits. You are not limited on the number of applications you may make for these benefits. If benefits are denied on the first application, that does not mean that benefits will be denied on the second application. Furthermore, if benefits are denied, reduced or terminated, you have a right to request reconsideration and, if necessary, a hearing before an administrative law judge.

FUNDING FOR HEARING AIDS
Southeast Kansas Assistive Technology Access Site People who are deaf and hard of hearing must often pay out-of-pocket for hearing aids that are not generally covered by insurance. This can create financial difficulties for people who need such aids to help them. As a result, people with hearing loss, their families, and the professionals who work with them must spend considerable time trying to find financial assistance for purchasing hearing aids. PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS HeartSpring-Kansas
The goal of the Donor Hearing Aid Program is to place amplification on those individuals who are in need, but are unable to purchase new hearing aids. A full hearing evaluation is provided and if necessary, one or two reconditioned behind the ear hearing aids. The cost to the client is $100, which covers the expense of the ear molds.

Phonics often cures the 'learning disabled'
by Linda Weinmaster
Omaha World Herald (Syndicated Columnist Page)
September 5, 2001
The writer, of Lawrence, KS, is Kansas/Nebraska director of the National Right to Read Foundation. I was saddened to see that Case School for Children with Learning Disabilities in Omaha has closed its doors because it was too costly for most families. Any school with the intention of meeting the needs of struggling children is an asset to the community. The unfortunate truth is that the label "learning-disabled that is put upon children who don't learn to read in a regular education classroom is, most of the time, wrong. Most of these children don't fail to learn to read because they are learning-disabled. The real culprits are poor classroom curriculum and instructional methods, commonly called "whole language". My oldest son was nearly labeled as one of the 16,000 learning-disabled youngsters in Nebraska. When he attended first grade in Omaha, he did not learn to read. His teachers recommended testing him to see what his learning disabilities were. My husband and I said "no thanks" to their suggestion of special education services and instead enrolled him in the Phoenix Academy of Learning in Rockbrook Village. He was taught Spalding phonics. In three weeks he learned to read, and by the end of 61 days he had jumped from a pre-primer reader to a child reading at the level of third grade, second month. Not so miraculously, his "disability" disappeared. It wasn't a miracle, because there was nothing wrong with him. Like many other children, he was simply being "disabled" by ineffective reading curriculum and instructional methods.

Rep. Tiahrt to Speak in Support of Full Federal Funding of Special Education (Washington) Rep. Todd Tiahrt will speak this afternoon on the floor of the House of Representatives in support of H.R. 4055, which amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to authorize funding to reach the federal government's goal of providing 40 percent of the national average per pupil expenditure. This legislation calls for a $2 billion consecutive yearly increase in special education funding, ending with the full federal funding total of $25 billion in fiscal year 2010. Rep. Tiahrt has been a strong supporter of this legislation and met with the United Teachers of Wichita and special education teachers on April 24, 2000. Full federal funding of special education is the top federal education priority for USD 259 and the state of Kansas, according to Gov. Bill Graves. Below is the text of Rep. Tiahrt's speech that will be covered this afternoon on C-Span, Channel 44 in Wichita. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this legislation. I also want to praise Chairman Goodling and the members of his committee for their outstanding work on this legislation.

Title I and IDEA Historically, the U.S. Department of Education has provided assistance to state education agencies and local education agencies primarily through categorical programs that aim to ameliorate the nation’s most pressing educational needs (i.e., needs of the disadvantaged and needs of the disabled. The goal for both of these programs is improved educational outcomes for all students who are disadvantaged or have a disability. A major question to be asked is how this goal can better be met through the collaboration of Titles I and IDEA programs. Both programs have shared beliefs about effective instructional opportunities for students. The beliefs provide a vision upon which all schools may need to operate to achieve effective collaborative programs and services for all students:
  • All children can and will learn General education has the responsibility for the education of all children and that responsibility is supported by special programs and services that are integrated within the context of the general education curriculum. Effective collaboration must center on the needs of students.

For more articles like this visit http://www.bridges4kids.org On a chilly Saturday morning at Roosevelt High School, Michael Remus replays a theme he has delivered throughout his career to 21 teachers gathered for a school improvement workshop: "If I walk into a classroom and the kids are doing fractions," he says, pacing in front of the teachers, "I want to know what the special education kids are doing to learn fractions. The curriculum needs to be linked to everybody."
Remus has been spreading the message of inclusion for special-needs children to parents, administrators, principals and teachers since he arrived in November to oversee special education for Portland Public Schools.
