Conclusions "The technologically literate person is one who understands the role and impact of technology upon society, accepts the responsibilities associated with living in the technologically oriented Information Age…and uses technology as a tool for obtaining, organizing, manipulating information and for communication and creative expression." Introduction The world of the twenty-first century will be dramatically different. Changes in society will be reflected in education. Across the nation, numerous reports are calling for the restructuring of the educational process and change in the fundamental purposes and goals of schooling. This is one of the most urgent domestic issues facing the nation. Today, there is an almost unimaginable increase not only in the amount of knowledge, but also in the rate at which knowledge continues to expand. In the face of an information driven society, the educational process still reflects the Industrial Age society in which standardization, conformity, and predictability were appropriate goals for schooling. Although there are increased opportunities provided by computers, telecommunications, and instructional television, many schools remain basically unchanged. In response to national calls for school reform, proposals for schools of choice, and initiatives dealing with the restructuring of schools, local school boards along with colleges and universities, are exploring innovative ways to use information technology for teaching and learning. Increasingly, the successful operation of schools and businesses hinges on the efficient exchange of voice, data and video signals.

Educating Jewish Children with Special Needs Teaching to Diversity: A Model for the Inclusion of Children with Developmental Disabilities in Jewish Day Schools by Beth Jawary Even though Mr. Cohen had been involved with the formation of the Etta Israel Center, the programs offered were not what the family had in mind for their child. The Etta Israel Center opened in 1992 with a mission of providing services for Jewish children with special needs. At the time the Cohen family began their search for a suitable educational program, the center ran a Sunday school program and recreational activities for school-age children and young adults with developmental disabilities. Additionally, they had created an afternoon self-contained preschool program for children with disabilities who were currently enrolled in public school special education programs. No research existed in the field of full inclusion in Jewish day schools. They found no child who was successfully included in a program that required students to deal with an entire dual curriculum as well as with learning a second language. Clearly, there existed significant challenges ahead. They turned to the Etta Israel Center for assistance. Together with local experts and extensive research, the Etta Israel Center began to develop a program to assist children with developmental disabilities learn and grow while participating in a regular day school program.

Articles about Post-Adopt Resources for Families State/Provincial Contacts Links from Summer 2002 Adoptalk by Cyndie Odya-Weis Cyndie is a freelance writer who specializes in family, educational, and spiritual issues, and the adoptive mom of twin teenaged daughters from Korea and a biracial 12-year-old son adopted domestically. Before embarking on nearly three decades of work with adoptive, foster, and other families, Cyndie taught at public and private schools. "I’m sorry Mr. and Mrs. Smith," said the teacher in the voice mail message, "but I need you to come to school again. Joshua is having trouble in class." It was a familiar request. The Smiths had been to school so many times that, as Mr. Smith wryly joked, "the car remembers how to get there." Joshua, seven, had joined the family through adoption two years earlier. Since he had been in school, Joshua had been repeatedly evaluated for a variety of disorders. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had reams of reports littered with now all too familiar codes–ADHD, FAS, LD, CP, OHI and others. [The fictitious Smiths represent the experience of many adoptive parents whose children have special educational needs. The acronyms are spelled out at the bottom of this page.]

LOCAL COMMENT: Students With Disabilities Need Intermediate School Districts public education funding, some michigan legislators have special training from an Intermediate School District can completely change a disabled child s future. http://www.freep.com/voices/columnists/eberns13_20040113.htm

Bookstore Columnists E-MAIL THIS STORY PRINTER-FRIENDLY FORMAT LOCAL COMMENT: Students with disabilities need intermediate school districts January 13, 2004 BY RICHARD H. BERNSTEIN In the struggle over public education funding, some Michigan legislators have tried to cut resources for Intermediate School Districts. I strongly disagree. In fact, Intermediate School Districts are an essential component of our overall educational system. Special training from an Intermediate School District can completely change a disabled child's future. For example, as I know from personal experience, a blind child must learn basic skills before entering first grade in a public school. Fortunately, ISD instructors teach them how to cross a street, get on a bus, use a cane and read Braille. Thanks to the initial ISD training, this child has an opportunity to fully participate in society, live independently, work full-time and, of course, pay taxes. Hundreds of thousands of Michigan citizens directly benefit from Michigan's 57 ISDs, which help local schools meet the individual needs of each child with physical or mental limitations. No elementary or secondary district could possibly handle these diverse challenges alone.

Report of the Regional and National Literacy Network of Research and Professional Organizations Panel Discussion on Special-Needs Learners Statement Research shows that without early identification and intervention, children who read poorly in the first grade will continue to read poorly in middle school, high school, and adulthood. Research also provides evidence that children identified as learning disabled, and those who are poor early readers, rarely catch up to the reading levels of their peers, even by the age of 18. Question The question was addressed to Dr. Paris. What has the research taught the education community concerning the psychology of reading as it relates to the cognitive and metacognitive processes of good readers and poor readers? How can we apply this knowledge in building effective intervention programs for special-needs students? Dr. Scott Paris:

Testing Students with Disabilities Back to Spotlight Issues Back to CTEST Home Introduction to the issue Official Documents regarding special needs students Special needs testing in the News Weblinks for further information Introduction to the Issues As increasing numbers of students with disabilities apply for admission to institutions of higher education, many are seeking modifications during admissions testing to accommodate for their disabilities. Many of these accommodations are granted. The most common modification is extended time for test administration, although large print versions of tests, readers for tests, and other types of accommodations are also provided. When these accommodations are granted, many of those taking the tests with modifications are unaware that the score reports for such testing usually are sent to colleges or universities with a "flag" or other designation indicating that the test was given under nonstandard conditions. This nation currently embraces important social policy goals of allowing persons with disabilities to participate as fully as possible in society without having to face negative bias or stereotypes. For too long, many individuals with disabilities have had to confront unfair presumptions about their abilities to succeed in education and employment. There are now laws in many states and two federal laws designed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
