That's the message we received from your responses to July's question: Do we need to revise IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)? Fifty percent of you said IDEA needs serious overhaul, 45 percent said it could use some revision, and 5 percent said "leave it alone." "IDEA mandates lack logic and plain old common sense," said a Louisiana board member. "It is so out of control that we should do away with it completely." Most readers wouldn't go that far. But several said IDEA, which aims to provide educational opportunity to disabled students, has evolved into a complex and unworkable system of rewards.

70. Rhode Island Dental Association, Careers In Dental Hygiene Hygienists have opportunities to help special population groups as children, the elderly and the disabled. 7252, or call the rhode island Dental Association at http://www.ridental.com/careers_hygiene.cfm

Careers in Dental Hygiene Introduction If you like helping people, enjoy working with your hands as well as your mind, and are interested in helping to prevent disease while assisting patients to maintain their health, a career as a dental hygienist may be for you. Dental hygienists are important members of the dental health care team who work with dentists in the delivery of dental care to patients. Hygienists use their knowledge and clinical skills to provide dental hygiene care for patients. They use their interpersonal skills to motivate and instruct patients on methods to prevent oral disease and to maintain oral health. Dental hygiene offers women and men of all ages, races and ethnic backgrounds exceptional career opportunities. A minimum of two years of college education that combines classroom and clinical coursework is necessary to become a dental hygienist. This education prepares graduates to provide care to patients in dental offices, clinics and educational or health care institutions. Studying in an accredited program provides education that is based on the latest procedures and techniques. What do Dental Hygienists do?

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.

Cases of child autism have increased 850 percent in Missouri Autism Books Autism Posters Games Law : Attorney, agent teams help parents of special needs children Posted on Monday, March 01 @ 20:56:22 GMT by Sylvia The Narragansett Times Raising any child requires the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job, boundless energy, an unsinkable sense of humor, and lots of unconditional love. Even so, it's impossible to keep it all in balance sometimes. When you're the parent of a physically, mental, or emotionally challenged child, these basic requirements become further complicated by visits to specialists, therapy, medication, special schooling, and sometimes constant care. What you need is more time and energy. What you don't need are more "should dos" in your already busy life. So while you know you "should" plan for your special child's future financial needs - as well as for your own - it may be something you put aside for another time.
