education for children with disabilities There are two laws you should know about. Most parents know that federal law requires schools to give children with disabilities special help. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a well-known law requiring this type of special education. Another law also affects the education of children with a disability. It is Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 . This fact sheet will give you information about these two laws. Both laws require: Schools to identify every child with a disability who needs more than the regular school program to learn Testing and evaluation of a child’s educational needs Children with disabilities and non-disabled students to attend school together Schools to provide every child with a free appropriate public education (FAPE) There are also differences in the laws. Section 504 makes it illegal for any group receiving federal money to be unfair to a person with a disability. It applies to any school that receives federal money. This includes all public schools in South Carolina. Under IDEA, schools receive money that they must use for children with disabilities.

Speech Disorders With 20 million plus families in the United States having a child with special needs, more children with challenges are being mainstreamed into America's public schools. Unfortunately, too often those without special needs feel uncomfortable around a classmate who seems out-of-sync. What's more, they can translate their discomfort into ugly behaviors, such as verbally demeaning or physically hurting the individual with differences. Helping youngsters become more sensitive is always important. Here are some specific ways to make kids feel more comfortable. "First, parents should emphasize that these kids are just like them," says Aileen Weiss of South Carolina , whose daughter Vicki was born with Sturge Weber, a rare syndrome giving Vicki physical and mental differences. "They have the same hurts, fears and joys even though they may be unable to express them because of their limitations."

A Bad IDEA Is Disabling Public Schools 'Perverse Incentives' in an Unfunded Mandate Just as before the 1997 Reauthorization of IDEA, a concerted attack is beginning on it. Note this commentary's recommendation that the " ' specific learning disabilities' category should be exised from the law" and the statement that "Evidence suggests that the IDEA does not produce academic gains." Education Week American Education's Newspaper of Record September 5, 2001 A Bad IDEA Is Disabling Public Schools 'Perverse Incentives' in an Unfunded Mandate By Clint Bolick Education Week The IDEA has become systematically dysfunctional and damaging to public schools. A powerful toxin infects our nation's education system, imperiling the ability of every public school to fulfill its mission. It is not school vouchers or inadequate funding, but the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA. Tracing back to the 1975 legislation enacted to ensure equal educational opportunities for children with disabilities, the IDEA now covers 6.1 million schoolchildren at a cost of $41.5 billion annually, accounting for 40 percent of all new education funding over the past 30 years. Because only 12.5 percent of the money is provided by the federal government, the idea constitutes the largest unfunded federal mandate in American education. Far worse, it creates perverse incentives that have deepened stratification within public education to the detriment of minorities and the poor.

RELATED LINKS EDUCATION: Public Support Can Make A Difference Throughout his career, Senator Hollings has worked to expand and improve educational opportunities for South Carolinians and Americans. He believes a strong public education system is critical to South Carolina's continued economic growth. LEAVE NO CHILD BEHIND FROM THE BEGINNING In the Senator's view it starts with pre-schoolers. He has strongly supported federal investments in Head Start, which provides thousands of low-income children with education and health services. This investment is working. For every $1 that taxpayers invest in Head Start, they save more than $7 in reduced juvenile justice, special education, and health care costs. FEDERAL SUPPORT TO BUILD 21ST CENTURY SCHOOLS Senator Hollings supports efforts to strengthen our public elementary and secondary schools. Currently, 78 percent of South Carolina's public schools need to upgrade or repair a school building. With the number of students steadily rising, facilities are being pushed to the breaking point.

A Letter from Dr. Ray Barnwell about the Friendship Curriculum Dear Pastor and Sunday School Superintendent, one of my very special friends Brent was a very special person . If you had the opportunity to meet and know him as I do, you, too, would quickly sense his desire to be included in your circle of friendship. In those early days, Sue and I had not yet had any children born into our home. Brent became a frequent visitor to the parsonage, even spending the night with us. He definitely helped to shape the beginning years of my ministry in an incredible way. he had an immense capacity to love. I feel that my special needs friends probably know more about love than those of us who consider ourselves normal. It was my honor and privilege to help Brent in his spiritual struggles and walk, and to eventually baptize and receive him into the membership of Welcome Wesleyan Church. in his church, his school, his work and in his family. I’ve often seen God use Brent as a key person during a revival meeting or a Sunday service. He would walk down the aisle and almost throw himself on the altar weeping. I can hear his words in my mind today as he would say, "I’ve been bad, preacher. I’ve been bad." He knew what it was to confess and repent, and because of his responsiveness to God, he helped to open the door in many services in which the altars would become lined with people praying. Just a few years back, he was recognized as Member of the Year at his church.

By Aaron Gouveia / News Staff Writer Tuesday, November 18, 2003 MILLIS A group of special needs students from a Millis alternative school asked for selectmen's help so the new Plain Street Bridge could be renamed. The group of students and teachers from Strawberry Fields School, a school for children with learning challenges, told selectmen they want to rename the Plain Street Bridge "The Wishing Bridge," so whenever people travel across it, they can make a wish and raise their spirits. Cal Hottelet, 21, and Filly Mastrangelo, 18, are students at the school and said they came up with the idea on Veterans Day. The pair, along with peers and teachers, walked to the bridge on Nov. 11 and placed a pink carnation on the bridge to signify their "wish" that America's servicemen and women return home safely. Hottelet and Mastrangelo spoke at last night's meeting and tried to persuade selectmen to get behind their idea. "Wishing on a star and wishing wells is fun, like believing in magic," Hottelet said. "We all need reasons to have hope in our hearts and we believe making wishes can help make our dreams come true."

Saying Goodbye to Hopes and Dreams for your Disabled Child May 31 '03 The Bottom Line A parent of a special needs child needs to grieve and needs support and a listening ear regardless of how hard it is to approach the subject. My 11 Year old Autistic son is starting to hit puberty. This is very scary to both of us! Brandon is high functioning enough to know that he is different and often rejected. But is Autistic enough that he cannot do anything about his social shortcomings. He is growing angry and bitter from the cruelness that he encounters at school and amoung the general public. As a mom it KILLS me to see him ridiculed and suffering. I have tried so hard to protect him and shelter him, but the older he gets, the harder it becomes. At his IEP meeting at school the other day, I was forced to begin to face a very different future then I had planned for my darling boy. We discussed the fact that he will probably never get a High school diploma, but rather a certificate of completion ( of 12 years of school). We started to look at possible placements in an independent living facility. Brandon will never drive, he will likely never marry and have children. At this point he cannot even tie his shoes and dress himself correctly. I am trying to accept his limitations and be realistic about his future, but it is SO hard.
