(and other special needs) My husband and I are being considered for the adoption of two siblings in Colorado (we're from Indiana, which I've heard has a tough person in charge of ICPC!). Anyway, their profile is a little vague, so I was hoping someone could define the medical terms in "plain English" for us: 1. "The children's developmental challenges are met with an Individualized Education Plan." (What does this mean? Would they be behind academically, or is it physical/developmental?) 2. They "...have difficulty focusing on one activity at a time" and "take medication and receive therapeutic services." (For what? Adhd? Something else?) 3. They also "receive weekly physical, speech, and occupational therapies to help them with coordination, muscle tone, and speech impediments."

Home PLANNING FOR THE DISABLED CHILD: SPECIAL NEEDS TRUSTS Parents of disabled children face unique challenges in planning for their children's social, medical and financial needs. It can be particularly traumatic for parents to think about who will care for their disabled child should both parents die. Planning for the unthinkable allows you to take control of your child's emotional and financial security. It will also give you peace of mind to know that your child will be cared for in the way you intended. First, you must decide where your disabled child will live if both parents are deceased. Depending on the kind and severity of your child's disability, your child may reside with a relative or close family friend, or be placed in an appropriate institution. If you want your child to live with a guardian, here are some points to keep in mind:

Schools Fail Under ESEA Maine’s Deputy Commissioner of Education Judy Lucarelli is predicting that within nine years all of Maine’s public schools will fail to meet the standards set by the new federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). If you are skeptical, just consider ESEA’s rules. Your school fails if you do not demonstrate increased student proficiency each year. Starting with a base line of 36% of students achieving the minimum standard in 2002, the requirement moves to 45% of students in 2004, 54% in 2008, 72% in 2010, 91% in 2012, and 100% in 2014. Your school fails if every student does not demonstrate proficiency by 2013-14. Your school fails if any subgroup of students fails to meet the yearly standard for proficiency. You fail if minorities, low-income, LEP, migrant, or special needs students do not meet proficiency standards. ESEA requires the state to set benchmarks for student achievement based on test scores and graduation rates for high school. ESEA supersedes Maine’s Learning Results, which must be revised to include achievement benchmarks for grades 3-8. Right now about 25% of Maine’s students are not meeting standards and 24 schools are being monitored for "low performance." As the bar on student proficiency is raised, many more schools will fail.
