Sign up to receive news Does Your Child Have Special Needs? Integrated Classes May Be the Answer If your child has special needs, chances are good that he or she spends most of the time in a segregated special education class. More than half the children receiving special education services in New York City - 54% are taught in classes in which they are separated from their peers for most of the day. That's more than twice the national rate of 24%. A new report says many of these children do better academically if they are integrated in regular classes - as long as they still receive the extra help they need. The report, Learning Together: Lessons in Inclusive Education in New York City released by a coalition of New York City advocacy groups, says disabled children in integrated classes are three times more likely to pass standardized tests than those in segregated settings. If you think your child may benefit from a so-called "inclusion class" (in which children with special needs are integrated in general education classes), be sure to look at this 25-page report by the Least Restrictive Environment Coalition, which highlights three elementary schools and two high schools that offer model inclusion classes.

Current Archive Special ed neglect No aid for 20,000 learning-disabled By KATHLEEN LUCADAMO DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER The Education Department came clean yesterday and admitted that 20,000 learning-disabled students have not been getting the help they need. School bigwigs blamed the problem on a shortage of physical and occupational therapists. In a recent department survey, education officials combed through claims that 30,000 kids were being left out in the cold. But the survey found that 10,000 of them were getting services - and a computer glitch kept the system from documenting it, officials said. After months of complaints from teachers and school staffers, the survey also confirmed a huge backlog in evaluations required for every special education student. "The process put in place didn't work," Randi Weingarten, president of the United Federation of Teachers, said last night at a special education panel sponsored by Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum. Nearly 40,000 kids are still waiting for an evaluation, although most of them are already getting at least some help, officials said. Part of the backlog appears to be from the mayor's reorganization, which bumped 960 evaluators back to teaching duty. As a result, the caseload for school psychologists and social workers tripled.

Cover Story Spotlight On Schools Featured Columnists Letters ... Travel New York City November 2002 Phi Delta Kappa Sponsors Panel of Experts to Discuss Changes on the Horizon for Special Education By Marie Holmes Within the evolving field of special education, the ramifications of President Bush’s No Child Left Behind legislation are felt acutely. When President Ford signed into law the Education for Handicapped Children bill (94-142), establishing that children with disabilities were entitled to the same free, public education as all other children, only 33 states were providing such services. This legislation was not a result of the Ford administration’s good intentions, explained educator James Fogarty to a group of teachers and other education professionals at a Phi Delta Kappa lecture program held recently at Pace University. The law, revamped in 1997 and now known as IDEA—the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act—followed a lawsuit ( Penn vs. ARC

Schools strive to meet needs of special pupils By MAUREEN McGUINNESS Staff Writer "You may not have the [financial] resources, but you can tap into the gifts and talents of your staff," said James Simone, associate superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese of New York, who spoke recently to Catholic school principals of the Albany Diocese. "Use the resources you already have." While Catholic schools might not be able to effectively teach all students with special needs, with some creativity, they can teach many students with learning disabilities, he said. Experience He explained that learning disabled students can get negative messages that affect not only their classroom success but also their self-esteem. "Forty-six percent of persons today who are incarcerated are learning disabled or could be labeled learning disabled," he said. "Anti-social behaviors are secondary [problems]; the learning disability is primary." Adapting Learning disabled students, Mr. Simone explained, have the ability to learn; they just learn differently from their peers. "Difference in our society is seen as negative," he said. "Difference is just different. Children internalize it as something negative."

[THIS ARTICLE FIRST APPEARED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES ON JULY 5, 2000] Rethinking Special Needs Without Losing Ground By Richard Rothstein Until Congress enacted a special-education law in 1975, schools often ignored children with disabilities. Millions of special-needs children, in homes or quasi-medical institutions, got no schooling at all. Others, in schools, got only token help; many failed or dropped out. To end this scandal, federal law gave parents of such children extraordinary rights. But this led to a burgeoning bureaucratic system. Costs soared. Since the law's passage, nearly half of all new school spending has gone to special-education programs that serve 11 percent of children. Can this spending be brought under control without returning to earlier patterns of neglect? Can schools be trusted to serve the disabled if rigid rules are relaxed?
