The poll, being released Monday by the advocacy group Public Agenda, suggests parents feel that while teachers care and school personnel are qualified to deal with disabilities, school systems don't offer special help to children unless families insist. Ann Duffett, an author of the study, said parents have a different perspective from policy-makers.

CONSULTATION, ASSESSMENT, AND STUDENT SUPPORT (CASS) SERVICES CASS Services can provide evaluation or consultation for preschoolers and school age children working in partnership with schools, families, and state agencies. An array of service tailored to the individual referral needs can be provided at the school site (1 or 2 days with follow-up) or at the Center if a residential evaluation (1 or 2 weeks) is warranted. The Center is known for the residential component but recognizes that some referral needs can best be met in the school environment.

83. Bilingual Education In California -- Unz Initiative US Supreme Court in Meyer v. nebraska (1923 often diagnosed as slow learners, learningdisabled, or mentally special needs is today's stigmatizing label. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JWCRAWFORD/impact.htm

Anti-Bilingual Initiative Bilingual Education Canards Impact of Unz Initiative Text Krashen LA Times Polls Prop. 209 ... USC Poll Anti-Bilingual Initiative Analyzing the Impact of Unz "English for the Children" – here's a goal that virtually all Californians can support. But is that the likely outcome of Ron Unz's anti-bilingual initiative? Or would an English Only law prove harmful to limited-English-proficient (LEP) students, retarding their academic progress and denying them an equal chance to succeed? As drafted, the Unz initiative is complex, confusing, and radical. If it passes next June, the final word on what it means, how it would work, and whether it's constitutional would surely be decided in court. Yet California voters need to consider its potential effects before casting their ballots. For 1.4 million schoolchildren, the stakes are high. Unz would permanently outlaw one way of teaching these students and mandate another. Few exceptions would be allowed, regardless of the wishes of parents, educators, or school boards. This is not an experiment to see which approach works best, or a pilot program that would be subject to change. Once enacted, the English Only mandate could not be amended or repealed without a two-thirds vote of the legislature, as well as the governor's signature. So we'd better look carefully at the text of the initiative and attempt to gauge its potential impact. First, we'll need to flush out a few canards.

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.

Early Intervention Resources In terms of physical, intellectual, emotional and social well-being, the period from conception to age 6 is the key to subsequent growth, development and ultimate productivity. Pre-natally through the sixth year there are several distinct stages. They include: intra-uterine, intrapartum (the birth itself), postpartum (birth to 1 month), early infancy (the first six months), late infancy (6-12months), toddler (1 to 3 years), and the pre-school child (3-6 years of age). Children have different needs, depending on where they are within these stages.

88. NRRF - Midlands Voices: Phonics Often Cures The 'learning Disabled' other children, he was simply being disabled by ineffective As the Kansas/Nebraskadirector of the National are in genuine need of special education services http://www.nrrf.org/midlands_voices9-5-01.htm

Nebraska Midlands Voices: Phonics often cures the 'learning disabled' by Linda Weinmaster Omaha World Herald (Syndicated Columnist Page) September 5, 2001 The writer, of Lawrence, KS, is Kansas/Nebraska director of the National Right to Read Foundation. I was saddened to see that Case School for Children with Learning Disabilities in Omaha has closed its doors because it was too costly for most families. Any school with the intention of meeting the needs of struggling children is an asset to the community. The unfortunate truth is that the label "learning-disabled that is put upon children who don't learn to read in a regular education classroom is, most of the time, wrong. Most of these children don't fail to learn to read because they are learning-disabled. The real culprits are poor classroom curriculum and instructional methods, commonly called "whole language". My oldest son was nearly labeled as one of the 16,000 learning-disabled youngsters in Nebraska. When he attended first grade in Omaha, he did not learn to read. His teachers recommended testing him to see what his learning disabilities were. My husband and I said "no thanks" to their suggestion of special education services and instead enrolled him in the Phoenix Academy of Learning in Rockbrook Village. He was taught Spalding phonics. In three weeks he learned to read, and by the end of 61 days he had jumped from a pre-primer reader to a child reading at the level of third grade, second month. Not so miraculously, his "disability" disappeared. It wasn't a miracle, because there was nothing wrong with him. Like many other children, he was simply being "disabled" by ineffective reading curriculum and instructional methods.

In this fast-paced world of in-line skating and online computers, it's surprising there's time for you to attend classes, do homework, hold down a part-time job, take part in extracurricular activities and set aside time for fun and relaxation with family and friends. Yet despite busy schedules, many young people like you are concerned about what's going on in their neighborhoods and communities, and are looking for ways to get involved. Here are some facts: In a recent survey of nearly 1,000 young people commissioned by Prudential, 95 percent of those interviewed support volunteering. Almost two-thirds of those respondents said that individual responsibility is the best way to solve community problems. Sixty-seven percent indicated that they devote some of their time to volunteer activities. Why are so many students interested in serving their communities? Because they want to:
