Palestinians condemn ongoing Gaza closure Senate fine-tunes discipline in special education program By George Archibald THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Senate voted 95-3 yesterday to change discipline rules for the federal special education program and to increase funding for disabled students by more than $2 billion a year for the next seven years. Federal spending for disabled students would increase from $10 billion to $12.4 billion in fiscal 2005, and gradually to $26.1 billion by fiscal 2011, under an amendment offered by Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican, which the Senate adopted 96-1 Wednesday. "Today, six-and-a-half million children with disabilities receive special education services. Almost all of them, 96 percent, are learning alongside their non-disabled peers," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, ranking Democrat on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. "It's our statement as a nation that these children matter and that we will do our part to help their parents and teachers and communities meet their education goals." Mr. Gregg, the chairman of the committee, said Republicans and Democrats were in agreement on 90 percent of the bill before debate started on funding issues.

S ERVICES IN S CHOOL FOR C HILDREN W ITH S PECIAL N EEDS: W HAT P ARENTS N EED TO K NOW No. 83 Some children experience difficulties in school, ranging from problems with concentration, learning, language, and perception to problems with behavior and/or making and keeping friends. These difficulties may be due to one or more of the following: physical disorders, psychiatric disorders, emotional problems, behavioral problems, and learning disorders (or disabilities). These children with special needs are usually entitled to receive special services or accommodations through the public schools. Federal law mandates that every child will receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. It also entitles children with special needs to receive extra services. To support their ability to learn in school, three Federal laws apply to children with special needs: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (1975) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of l973 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (l990). Between states, there are different criteria for eligibility, services available, procedures for implementing the Federal laws, and procedural safeguards. It is important for parents to be aware of these laws and regulations in their particular area.

When you vote on the fiscal year 2004 District of Columbia appropriations bill (S. 1583), please vote to oppose D.C. vouchers. Vouchers eliminate public accountability. Vouchers shift millions of taxpayer dollars to private schools that are not financially or academically accountable to the public. A D.C. voucher program will drain millions fr om public education. Our own district has serious financial needs . The millions of dollars earmarked for private schools in D.C. should be sent home to your school district (and others nationwide) to help meet federally under-funded mandates, like NCLB and IDEA, and to help improve achievement for all students.

The Issues Endorsements Knowles Biography Accomplishments Knowles on the Issues Education Tony Knowles on No Child Left Behind "Washington, DC has taken over jurisdiction of our schools. We need to give education in Alaska back to the teachers, parents and students who best understand how to educate the leaders of tomorrow." How "No Child Left Behind" Hurts Alaska Children The federal No Child Left Behind law is a one-size fits-all approach to education reform that takes schools and education decisions away from Alaska parents, students and teachers and puts them in the hands of federal bureaucrats.  Despite the fact that the federal government is responsible for less than 10% of education budgets across America, they’re still making almost 100% of the decisions and refuse to pay even their small share of the burden. 282 of Alaska’s 488 schools and thousands of students are currently labeled "failures" according to No Child Left Behind’s arbitrary standards.  Schools are failed for reasons invented in Washington, DC, without the input or control of teachers, parents or students in Alaska.  No Child Left Behind is programming Alaska’s students to fail, not giving them a ticket to success. The federal No Child Left Behind law has eliminated the special relationship that existed between parents, students and teachers in Alaska communities.Â

CAL Resource Guides Online English Language Learners with Special Needs Sally Morrison, ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics Introduction Digests Journals Other Publications ... ERIC Documents Introduction Several factors influence the identification of English language learners with special needs. Limited prior schooling, lack of proficiency in English, native language background, cultural expectations, and personal or family concerns can all influence a learnerçs academic progress. It can be difficult to distinguish between a learning disability and learning problems caused by a variety of other factors. English language learners whose difficulties in school stem from these factors may be misidentified as having a learning disability. In other cases, English language learners who have a learning disability may not be properly identified on the assumption that their learning problems stem from linguistic and cultural differences. To further complicate matters, special needs may not have been identified in the learner's native language but may become evident as the student is learning English. Identification Traditional identification instruments designed for English speakers may not be valid with English language learners. Identification of English language learners with special needs should include consideration of the following factors:

Welcome to the Special Student Services Department! Auburn students with disabilities, ages 3 to 21, may receive special education and related services in each elementary school, middle school, and high school, and through home/hospital instruction. In addition, services for some students may be contracted for and provided by other school districts or approved outside agencies through inter-local service agreements. Special education programs are non-categorical in the sense that each student is placed in the program best suited to deliver the services specified in the student's IEP, regardless of the student's disability. Program placement decisions are made in accordance with the concept of educating students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. Each student has access to an appropriate learning environment and an opportunity for education with non-disabled students to the maximum extent appropriate within his or her neighborhood school or as close as possible to his or her neighborhood school. More supportive program options are offered in neighboring districts with whom the Auburn School District contracts with for students whose needs extend beyond available district services. Students may receive special education services if they meet one or more of the eligibility criteria for students with disabilities as defined by Chapter 392-172 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), demonstrate that the disability adversely impacts their educational performance in the general education program, and require specially designed instruction. The eligibility categories include:

Much of what we know about early intervention effectiveness is drawn from this diverse historical base of information. More recently, researchers have begun asking a more rigorous and differentiated question: For whom and under what conditions is early childhood intervention most effective? This more sophisticated question focuses on the effects of various interventions for specific groups of children relative to the type of program they received. Data from well-controlled research studies indicate that young children with disabilities (e.g., Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, sensory impairments), and those who evidence biological (e.g., low birth weight, premature) and environmental risk factors make significant gains on both qualitative and quantitative measures of development when provided appropriate services. The involvement of their parents in reinforcing critical skills in natural contexts is an important factor associated with the magnitude of the child's progress (Guralnick, 1989).

DENTAL CARE OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES If you are disabled, it is important that you receive good dental care. Are you one of the 49 million Americans with a disability? If the answer is yes, regular dental care is especially important to avoid the serious dental problems that often are associated with disabilities. A healthy mouth can contribute to your overall physical health and can increase your sense of well-being. If you have a disability, you are among the 15% of the population who often have difficulty finding a dentist, particularly one skilled in care of persons with complex medical and oral problems. DECOD at the University of Washington is helping to meet the needs of those with disabilities through its clinical programs. It may be possible for you to receive care through DECOD. What is DECOD? DECOD (Dental Education in Care Of persons with Disabilities) at the University of Washington School of Dentistry was established in 1974 to train dental professionals in special needs of persons with disability. Through its clients, DECOD provides more than 2,000 dental visits per year to persons with disabilities. It is a major resource for Washington citizens who are severely disabled due to developmental disorders, medical illness, trauma, degenerative conditions or psychiatric problems.
