KEY VISITS TO WASHINGTON LEGISLATIVE ISSUES Workplace Religious Freedom Act We continue to work toward securing greater protection for the religious needs of employees in the workplace. Such protections are needed to secure the ability of employees to observe religious holidays and wear religious garb if not already allowed to do so by their employer. We are pleased to report that since having the bill introduced in the U.S. Senate in late May by Senators John Kerry and Rick Santorum, we have gathered 14 senators as co-sponsors to date; this is the largest number of cosponsors WRFA has ever had and they include a broad bipartisan range of members. In June, we held a press conference which served as a catalyst for more senators being interested in the measure. We are now strategizing with our coalition partners as to how to move the measure toward a floor vote in the fall Education Policy We are working with key Hill staffers and Administration officials as they prepare to reauthorize the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (‘IDEA’) – the federal government’s funding mechanism for special ed. programs. Given the frequent disparities in funding and programs provided to special needs children in parochial schools vs. those in public schools, this is a high-priority issue for us to work on in the education policy arena this year and next. Toward that end, Dr. Jeff Lichtman – director of the OU’s Yachad/Nat’l Jewish Council for the Disabled – recently traveled to Washington to join with us in meetings with senior Administration officials who will be guiding this policy formulation.

Special Needs: Domestic Abuse, AIDS, the Disabled, the Elderly, the Homeless Numerous courts and bars have developed programs for groups with special needs. Advocacy for these groups is crucial as their needs are often exacerbated by lower income, thus further limiting their access to justice in the areas of employment, housing, etc. Fifty-seven courts or bar associations indicated in their 2001 survey responses that they support activities addressing special needs. Among the many programs are the following: "He Loves Me Not," the Arkansas Bar Association video on the prevention of dating violence, was distributed to all high schools in the state. The state public television affiliate aired three, one-hour TV call-in programs, using the video in its entirety as a centerpiece. The Georgia Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Advocates for Special Needs Children Committee ensures that school districts are providing the education required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Education Reform Subcommittee today heard testimony on several special education-related issues, including innovative programs that enhance parental choice in special education. This is the third in a series of hearings to lay the groundwork for reform and reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which House Republicans hope to pass through Congress this year. Several states have taken the lead in finding innovative approaches to improving special education and giving more options to parents with special needs children. Florida, for example, last year launched a program that provides education choice for parents of disabled students. The McKay Scholarships are available to parents who want to ensure that their special needs children receive a quality education. According to Education Week , Florida education officials received more than 14,000 inquiries from interested parents in the first few months of the McKay program’s existence.

They co-wrote, " Escaping IDEA: Freeing Parents, Teachers and Students Through Deregulation and Choice ," released on July 10. Last week, the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education released recommendations for the nation's troubled special education system. Proposing that states be allowed to adopt school choice programs for disabled students coupled with extensive continued regulation of both public and private schools the commission got it half right. A Cato Institute policy analysis released right after the commission's report shows that real reform requires massive regulatory relief in addition to parental choice. The Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) governs the development of educational programs for more than 5 million disabled children. Instead of empowering parents, the law creates a power struggle between parents and the education establishment. When disagreements occur, parents and school officials must sort out their differences through a complex series of dispute resolution procedures, often involving attorneys and lawsuits.

Families have to assess what their child's strengths are as well as areas of weakness - usually well ahead of when they would need to acquire that knowledge in the States. Frequently they unite behind this child and find ways for him or her to succeed in some activities, be it in the arts, physical activities or in some area of the new culture. Diversity can be an attribute, not just a nuisance. Still, the tribulations of parents overseas should not be underestimated.

The DECOD Registry People with disabilities frequently have serious dental problems and have difficulty in accessing dental services Dental Education in Care of Persons with Disabilities (DECOD) is a special program of the School of Dentistry that treats persons with severe disabilities and prepares dental professionals to meet their special oral health needs. The DECOD Program provides more than 2,000 dental visits per year to persons with disabilities. It is a major resource for Washington citizens who are most severely disabled and financially disadvantaged. This segment of the population cannot obtain dental services in other community settings. The patients served by DECOD span all age groups. Approximately 60 percent have severe developmental disabilities (mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism), the remaining 40 percent have extensive acquired disabilities (e.g. spinal cord and traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, psychiatric disorders). The majority of patients are on Medical Assistance. DECOD includes several special clinics: pediatric, for children with disabilities

Home Textbooks Books Music ... Product Support Understanding Mildly Disabled Students in Christian Schools Joe P. Sutton, Ph.D. Educating mildly disabled students has not been a high priority item on the educational agendas of many private Christian schools. In fact, recent studies show that special education in Christian schools is almost nonexistent, where only between 8 and 16 percent of Christian schools nationwide operate formal programs (Carver, 1989; Sutton, in press). With the emphasis placed on disabled persons in the Scripture (Sutton, 1990) however, most Christian educators would probably agree that our schools must do more in providing for the needs of mildly disabled students through formal special education programs. It is clear, then, that Christian educators must recognize two things with regard to mildly disabled students. One is that these students are not limited to just special education classrooms anymore, and will in all likelihood be present in regular classrooms to some extent. Two is that as mildly disabled students are identified and mainstreamed into regular classrooms, the regular classroom teacher will be the primary educational caregiver for these children, not the special education teacher. Regular classroom teachers in Christian schools, therefore, must be more cognizant of the basic characteristics and educational needs of mildly disabled students. Moreover, given the current novelty of special education in Christian schools, it would profit all Christian educators to know more about this unique group of students. This article seeks to provide answers to three basic questions: (a) who are mildly disabled students? (b) what criteria are used to identify them? and (c) what are some of their general characteristics?

However, a recent study finds that just the opposite is true. According to a new international study by the Yankee Institute, school choice would greatly benefit disabled children in the United States. In other countries, special education children are thriving far beyond American standards with school choice. In Denmark, where the government's commitment to fund private education dates back to 1899, more than 99 percent of learning-disabled children are educated side-by-side with mainstream children. The number of special school systems in the Netherlands has fallen from 14 to 4 since 1990, when the government began awarding educational stipends to parents of learning-disabled children to use at mainstream schools. In Australia, a 1998 study found that intellectually and physically disabled children who studied in mainstream schools under the country's school choice program were achieving literary and math skills equal to their peers.
