Special education DE DC MABH MN ... VA DE "6.5.3 School-Based Services Schools and MCOs will be required to communicate with one another regarding any further needs the child might have within and beyond the Basic Benefit Package as well as coordinate the care the child receives from the Department of Education. MCOs will be required to work with local School Districts, the Division of Public Health, and other appropriate providers to create and implement procedures for linking and coordinating services for children who attend school and receive medical services under the auspices of Individualized Education Plans (IEP) or through similar school-based treatment plans, or who use medical services provided through School Based Health Centers. MCOs should coordinate plan benefits with these providers to prevent duplication of coverage, to assure medical necessity, and to provide for service delivery in a cost-effective manner. It is the desire of DHSS to move all provision of health care services into a managed care setting. In addition to supporting this goal, the present Administration supports maximizing the in flow of federal Medicaid resources to the State and school districts. School-based therapy services (e.g. occupational, physical and speech therapy) have therefore been excluded from the Diamond State Health Plan in order to further this second goal. Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (`IDEA'), 20 U. S. C. 1400 et Seq., requires schools to ensure that special education `related services' (defined in section 1400 (22)) are provided in accordance with each disabled child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). To the maximum extent possible these children must be educated with their non-disabled peers. This least restrictive environment (LRE) requirement has been interpreted to mean that therapy services should be delivered on school premises. The June, 1997 amendments to the IDEA also require Medicaid's financial responsibility to precede that of the schools. 20 U.S. C. section 1412. Medicaid must either 'provide or pay for' these services in the first instance.

He emerged from the rough-and-tumble politics of a tough Irish neighborhood in Rhode Island to count among his mentors the powerful Kennedy clan. And his considerable charm and charisma attracts voters from both parties. What's more, he has a solid track record of policy accomplishments already. As Rhode Island's Secretary of State for two terms, he mandated voting technology that takes the needs of the disabled into account: Rhode Island is the only state that prints a ballot and voting guide in Braille. It sets a standard for the rest of the nation a standard that many states continue to ignore.

ONLINE CURRENT ISSUE CONTACT US ADVERTISING STAFF ... ARCHIVES More Choices For Disabled Kids By Lewis M. Andrews (Go to Print Friendly Version) f the opponents of school choice could have their way, the national debate over the use of public money to subsidize private schooling would turn on the subject of special education. With research demonstrating the overall success of school voucher programs in Milwaukee and Cleveland, and with the constitutional issue of public funding of religiously affiliated schools headed for resolution in a seemingly God-tolerant Supreme Court, defenders of the educational status quo have been reduced to fanning fears that government support of greater parental choice would transform public schools into dumping grounds for difficult-to-educate students. Rethinking Schools naacp Seventeenth Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act , over The argument that school choice must inevitably create special education ghettos would appear to have been strengthened by the recent adoption of market-based education reforms in New Zealand. In the late employees with a new Ministry of Education staffed by only people and putting each local school under the control of a community board of trustees. At the same time, the government abolished school zoning, allowing children to transfer freely between schools, even to private schools, at state expense.

January-February, 1999 No. 93 SENDING PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS By Jonathan Fox The untold story of special education O Upon greater scrutiny, this oft-repeated scenario does not hold up. For years, many students with the worst disabilities have attended private schools at partial or even full public expense. Far from abandoning the needs of special education students, the private sector is supplying what the public school system has failed to provide. More specifically, public school districts currently foot the bill for more than 100,000 special education students attending private schools at an estimated cost of $2 billion to taxpayers, according to U.S. Department of Education figures and industry estimates. In most of these cases, public schools have come to rely on specialized private schools to educate their toughest disability cases, when doing it themselves would be prohibitively expensive. "A voucher isn’t really the right analogy," says Mike Petrilli, program director of the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, which supports education reform efforts from a conservative perspective. "It’s really closer to contracting, like the Edison Project," the for-profit school management company that manages more than 50 public and charter schools across the nation. "But it makes a lot of sense to contract out this function to a company that can pool its resources."

BY MARION DAVIS Journal Staff Writer SMITHFIELD Prompted by new federal rules, the state has launched a five-year plan to expand access to special-education services, especially at young ages, and stop the misdiagnosis of healthy children as "disabled." In 2000, Rhode Island ranked first in the nation in the proportion of students in special education nearly 1 in 5 more than 3 percent higher than the national average, and more than twice the state's rate 20 years ago. In fiscal 2000, Rhode Island spent more than $243 million on special education, a 152-percent increase from 1990, or twice the growth rate of education expenditures overall. Every year, schools superintendents complain to local and state officials that they can't keep up with the skyrocketing costs.

32. WHY THERE IS A NEED FOR THE NFGCC law that enables the developmentally disabled and other parents how to help their special needs children is its headquarters in Warwick, rhode island Since 1969 http://www.nfgcc.org/e.htm

Back to Packet Index WHY THERE IS A NEED FOR THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR GIFTED AND CREATIVE CHILDREN For too long, childhood "creativity" has been treated as a psychological affliction by the very people responsible for their educationteachers, professionals and administrators. As a result of widespread ignorance concerning the creative and gifted, many schools have neglected them or worse, have coerced their parents into giving their children sense dulling medication to "keep them manageable" in class. The NFGCC's main purpose has not only been to document the widespread over-prescription of drugs to children, but the continuing neglect and ignorance of school teachers and officials. More than 100 actual case histories are on file at our headquarters. THE CRISIS IS REAL We believe there is a crisis in education when gifted and creative children are found in mental institutions or homes for the retarded. We believe there is a crisis in society when gifted children grow up and are later convicted of crimes because as one eminent psychologist puts it "the years of frustration, denial and treatment as a "freak" finally takes it's toll." We believe there is a crisis in America when every year children are admitted to hospitals for seizures from overdosing on medication given to them by school consultant physicians. As a result these children become emotionally unbalanced and psychotic after years of being frustrated and abused by a system that refuses to acknowledge their special needs.

Morgan McVicar Journal-Bulletin Staff Writer PORTSMOUTH - On a brisk spring morning, as the Porter family heads towards a bluff overlooking Narragansett Bay for a family photograph, you have the feeling Norman Rockwell is setting the scene. With their puppy Molly Brown yipping in the background, Craig Porter, 50, puts his arm around Betsy, 38, Andrew, 8, and Scott, 6, stand in front of their parents, smiling shyly, eight blue eyes peering toward the mainland, their blond and reddish hair flapping with the breeze. Craig and Betsy Porter insist that they, particularly Betsy, always aspired to the average American family lifestyle suggested by family portrait. They resisted, they say, as the signs became increasingly obvious that their children would dictate otherwise. * Journal Bulletin Photo by KRIS CRAIG CRAIG AND BETSY PORTER: They tried tutors for their two boys, Andrew and Scott, with little success. Last month, the Porters received permission from the Portsmouth School committee to educate Andrew and Scott at their Prudence Island home this year. The action was hardly radical, with an estimated 120,000 to 260,000 students educated at home nationwide; 76 children in Rhode Island and about 200 in Massachusetts are in approved home education programs.

Considerations in Moving Your Special Needs Child Abroad An international move creates challenges for all families, especially those with a learning disabled child. Here is one counselor's advice on how parents can meet the challenges and make the best choices for all involved. by Kay Branaman Eakin If you are the parent of a child with physical or mental disabilities, you know you must take into account your child's psychological, educational and social needs when making a decision that will have a major impact on your family life. Whether or not to accept an expatriate assignment is certainly such a decision. Clearly, the choice should be made in the context of all family members' needs. Career and personal considerations for you and your spouse, as well as the educational and social needs of your other children will also come into play. But perhaps the central issue will be whether you can find appropriate support and educational services for your child in the assignment location. And, if not, are there alternatives that will enable you to accept the assignment and still meet the needs of your child? The answer depends on many factors: your child's age and disability, the nature and location of your assignment, and your expectations, attitudes and willingness to search out solutions.
