Extractions: Project FORUM at National Association of State Directors of Special Education (NASDSE) is a cooperative agreement funded by the Office of Special Education Programs of the U. S. Department of Education. The project carries out a variety of activities that provide information needed for program improvement, and promote the utilization of research data and other information for improving outcomes for students with disabilities. The project also provides technical assistance and information on emerging issues, and convenes small work groups to gather expert input, obtain feedback, and develop conceptual frameworks related to critical topics in special education.

Extractions: Post-Crescent staff writer Freedom made the commitment to ensure all children equal access to a public education well before state and federal governments made it law in the early 1970s, he said. Yet, in times of tight budgets there is no denying the mounting cost of educating everyone from the blind, deaf and medically fragile to children with cognitive and emotional disabilities and speech delays. While Congress considers reauthorizing the 28-year-old law now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), area school systems are picking up the bulk of the bill for an ever-growing number of special-education children. Two dozen Fox Valley school districts spent more than $62 million in district, state and federal dollars in the 2000-01 school year to educate 7,597 students with disabilities, according to the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. In the coming school year, Freedom, with a total enrollment of 1,590, will spend $1.9 million of its $12.2 million operational budget educating 215 children with disabilities.

Extractions: Vol 2, No 2 - April 2001 Link Between MMR Shots and Autism Disputed A theory that children develop autism as a result of having had measles-mumps-rubella vaccination is generating concern in both lay and medical communities, according to researchers who set out to determine to determine if there is any connection. First floated in Great Britain in the late 1990s by a medical investigative group, the theory holds that the combined vaccine given in early infancy may cause the developmental condition known as autism, which normally surfaces when children are 18 to 19 months of age, shortly after they have completed their vaccinations. Because autism is so difficult a condition for parents to accept, and because it is incompletely understood by medical practitioners, theories about its cause have been wide-ranging, from coldness in mothers to failure of parts of the brain to develop during pregnancy. In light of the serious implications for vaccine practice of the latest theory, a group of researchers in the California Department of Health reviewed the immunization coverage rates of children born between 1980 and 1994 who were enrolled in California kindergartens, to determine the age at which they first received MMR vaccinations. Those data were then compared with autism caseloads of children born in the same years who were enrolled in the California Department of Developmental Services regional service center system. They found that although there were only modest increases in the rates of immunization during those years, the numbers of autism cases increased markedly. This led the researchers to conclude that the difference is so wide that it's hard to see any connection.

Extractions: FRSD News Releases, 2002-2003 January 7, 2003 Lynn Beattie, Director of Special Services, retires Lynn M. Beattie, Director of Special Services for the Flemington Raritan Regional School District, is retiring from the field of education after 29 years of service. Her last day of school is January 31, 2003. Beattie began her career as a teacher of the handicapped in 1970 and taught in the Flemington-Raritan School District from 1979-1980. She returned to the district six years later to teach emotionally disturbed students and multiply disabled classes at Robert Hunter Elementary School in Raritan Township. I remember when all district staff members could meet in the library of one of the elementary schools, said Beattie. Since then, the district and the special services department have grown significantly, along with the responsibility of providing quality services to a rising number of children with special needs. In 1989, Beattie was appointed the districts Supervisor of Special Services and has served as the director of the department for nearly 10 years. I take great pride in the special education programs I have helped develop over the years, said Beattie. There is no greater compliment than to have families move to the district, or move back to the district, because of the departments excellent staff, programs and services.

Extractions: Austin High School and Northside College Preparatory High School are polar opposites in many ways, and special education is no exception. Austin enrolls a higher percentage of special education students than any other high school in the district; Northside has the fewest. CATALYST Senior Editor Elizabeth Duffrin researched both to find out how the lopsided distribution affected each school. Ten years ago, a school reform group teamed up with a university legal clinic to sue Chicago Public Schools and the state for illegally segregating special education students. In 1998, CPS settled the lawsuit before going to trial, agreeing to send more special needs children back to neighborhood schools and into general education classrooms. Here is a primer on that settlement. High schools bear the brunt of teacher shortage

Extractions: Timothy Bush teaches special education at Seaford Senior High School in Delaware. Currently a member of the Delaware State Education Association executive board, he's also a lead teacher for his district's New Teacher Mentoring Program. S pecial educators are trained to look at the whole child and make decisions based on individual needs. I feel that I must qualify my "yes" answer by rephrasing the question to read, "Should many special need students be exempt from taking graduation tests?" I don't believe students should be routinely exempted, but I do believe that only the experts who participate on a student's Child Study Team should make that decision. As long as bureaucrats and politicians can mandate that all students take a single test to graduate, a team's ability to exempt a student from such testing is compromised. If special needs students are lumped together with non-disabled peers and required to take high-stakes tests without procedural safeguards, I have grave concerns about fairness. These concerns center around how special needs students are identified and tracked, what accommodations for them are made, and whether a single indicator is relied on for an assessment.
