All Children Are Special! They are special for many reasons, but mainly because they are yours. There are some children who have unique educational needs which require special attention. Some of these children meet eligibility requirements, outlined by state and federal statutes, as students who need special education services. These children's disabilities may be physical, medical, emotional or the children may have cognitive delays, a learning disability or significant deficits in speech language development. Special education is the provision of specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability. The specific educational plan is outlined in an Individualized Education Plan and is available to eligible children from ages 3 years through their 22nd birthday. Parent and procedural rights are explained in a State of Ohio publication titled: "Whose IDEA Is This?" This resource guide for parents is available through the Department of Special Services office. Special Education Services Include: Preschool Services are for 3 & 4 year old children with developmental delays. Services are also available for a limited number of non-disabled students who are considered "at-risk."

StateNotes Special Education 700 Broadway, Suite 1200 Denver, CO 80203-3460 Fax: 303.296.8332 www.ecs.org State Efforts Regarding Teacher Preparation, Certification, Recruitment and Retention October 2003 The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 (IDEA) took bold steps toward ensuring children with disabilities receive the free and appropriate public education to which they are entitled. One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA ’97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the “maximum extent practicable.” As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. Teacher Preparation and Certification Special Education Training for General Education Teachers How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS’ Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.

Several advocacy support groups as well as parents were invited to speak. The author, the principal state P&A attorney for SPED, uses the state's own findings and orders as the total basis to his report, concluding that the process is fatally flawed and totally out of compliance not only with the fed acts and regs, but its own statutes and administrative regulations. At the press conference, no television station chose to send its reporters. The only media representative was Steven Carter of the Oregonian. His story covering the conference followed the saga of a single family in Oregon whose complaint history is extensively referenced in the OAC report. His article also summarized the findings of the report. Mr. Carter made no mention in his article of either OPU or FEAT, who provided the parents who spoke at the table. No quotes from FEAT or OPU spokespersons made their way into his article.

EDUCATION REPORT - Learning Disabilities, Part 8: Conclusion By Nancy Steinbach Broadcast: March 25, 2004 This is Steve Ember with the VOA Special English Education Report. Today we complete an eight-part series about learning disabilities. Such disorders interfere with skills like reading, writing or thinking. Students with learning disabilities are not considered slow learners. They are generally of average or above average intelligence. But many need help to succeed in school. In the United States, some students with learning disabilities are placed in classes called special education. The teachers have been trained as specialists and work with these students full time. Other students remain in traditional classes, but receive help from specialists. The parents of these students may like this way better. Or they may not have much choice. The movement in education is to include students with special needs in traditional classes, but to provide extra help. Yet limited school budgets often mean large classes and not as much individual help as parents would like. Another concern is students who need special instruction because they are extremely intelligent. Parents say they worry that the needs of these gifted students may not be met.

Mount Bachelor Academy Academics Our desire is to reawaken the love of learning with which we are all born. Many of our students performed well academically in the past and then slipped behind due to a variety of factors such as emotional or family issues, drug and alcohol use, or poor attendance. We are so successful that the majority of graduating seniors attend college. Those students that complete our program prior to graduating high school either transition to other high schools successfully or stay with us in our Graduate Residence to complete their studies. Through the emotional growth process, students are taught to be accountable for their own actions, and this includes performance in the classroom. With the support of academic and mentoring staff and their peers, students become motivated to do their best in all aspects of life, including academics. With a staff of exceptional teachers and a solid emphasis on the essential courses, English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language, and the Arts, students become motivated to excel and see academics as the key to a bright future. Major Components of MBA Academics Accreditation - Mount Bachelor Academy is fully accredited by the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools and the Northwest Association of Colleges. MBA is licensed by the State of Oregon. High school credits are transferable to any high school. A State of Oregon High School Diploma is issued if graduation requirements are met while attending.

Policy News Ad Campaign Lights On! Program Tools ... Success Stories Friday, June 11, 2004 Afterschool programs can provide important benefits to all students, including those who have learning, developmental and physical disabilities. Students in afterschool programs have better grades and behavior, increased self-esteem and more positive attitudes about school. For students with special needs, afterschool programs also provide a level of individualized attention that they might not receive during the school day. Providing Extra Homework Help and Developing Skills Afterschool programs can provide ongoing homework assistance that can be tailored to meet students' needs. As local programs report, this opportunity can be particularly helpful to students with special needs. The High School/High Tech program in Prince George's and Montgomery counties in Maryland works with Prince George's Community College to provide juniors and seniors in high school with physical disabilities training for careers in math, science and technology. Students learn computer skills, tour high-tech facilities and have an opportunity to work at high-tech jobs during the summer. The program takes place at the college, and through classes students learn how to use a variety of software applications and develop skills on the Internet.

Contact the Staff Spring 2003 Spring 2003 Targeted Attention, Special Rewards Students with Disabilities Thrive with Encouragement and Support by John Franklin Basketball may seem like a simple extracurricular activity to many teachers, but for some students with special needs, activities like basketball can mean the difference between success and failure. "I had one student who was extremely disrespectful to many people," says Denise Lebo, an emotional support lead teacher with the Carlisle School in Carlisle, Pa. "He was quite talented, but he refused to do any work and had a lot of problems interacting with people." The student's sole interest and passion, she discovered, was playing basketball. "I told him to try to get on his local school district's basketball team," she continues. "That meant he would have to maintain a sufficient grade point average and would have to be part of the team. It wasn't easy for him, but he did it. And as of now he's back in a regular 9th grade class." The student still faces hurdles, she says, but he has begun making the effort to succeed. Lebo's story highlights the extra effort and consideration that is often required to reach students with special needs. Unfortunately, officials say, current teaching practices do not normally begin meeting those needs until far too much time has already passed in a child's life.

(We're tomorrow's leaders after all!) But in order to really participate, we need to know our rights – otherwise we may lose them. The highest law in our land is the U.S. Constitution, which has some amendments, known as the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights guarantees that the government can never deprive people in the U.S. of certain fundamental rights including the right to freedom of religion and to free speech and the due process of law. Many federal and state laws give us additional rights, too. The Bill of Rights applies to young people as well as adults. And what I'm going to do right here is tell you about EQUAL TREATMENT DO ALL KIDS HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN EQUAL EDUCATION? Yes! All kids living in the United States have the right to a free public education. And the Constitution requires that all kids be given equal educational opportunity no matter what their race, ethnic background, religion, or sex, or whether they are rich or poor, citizen or non-citizen.

Achieving this goal is difficult because most special education teacher preparation programs do not adequately train teachers to effectively help autistic students. To solve this problem, we recently reintroduced the Teacher Education for Autistic Children (TEACH) Act, HR 1700, which will help train teachers to work with these special children and also assist school districts in hiring qualified autism teachers.
