Extractions: Site Map July 9, 1999 WASHINGTON Schools can no longer drop educational services for special education students while they are suspended from school for violent incidents, under new regulations approved this spring for the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This may become a difficult issue for schools that do not have the resources to continue educating a student in an "alternative setting," as prescribed by the law, American Institutes of Research Senior Research Scientist Mary Magee Quinn says. Outlining the new rules during the American Federation of Teachers' QuEST '99 Conference, Quinn noted the rules require a school district to continue educating a suspended student in an alternative setting if the suspension lasts longer than 10 days. The students must get all services required for them to continue progressing under their individualized education plans, and any therapies prescribed in the IEP must also be provided as scheduled, the rules state. The continuation of services rule, as well as several other complexities in the new regulations, helped draw dozens of teachers and other faculty members to hear Quinn speak at the four-day teachers' conference. As deputy director of the Center for Effective Collaboration and Practice, Quinn and her staff have studied the new regulations and consulted with government officials and attorneys to clarify the new rules and help school districts implement the changes. The center also offers extensive information about IDEA '97 and other special education issues on its Internet site:

Special Ed in NYC Special Education in New York City Legally, districts must provide your child with the services he or she needs to progress in the general curriculum to the best of his or her ability, meet his or her annual goals, and be educated in the least restrictive environment appropriate for his or her needs. Rigid definitions of what services are available in a particular environment are not usually legal. In New York City, however, special education has become an alphabet city of special classes for students with similar disabilities. The Board of Education has recognized that this may not comply with the spirit of the continuum or LRE requirements, and has proposed grouping students in classes based on their academic and behavioral needs, rather than by disability. For the time being, however, parents should probably become familiar with the following options. In June 2000, the NYC Board of Education adopted a new Continuum of Special Education Services. This continuum is a list or a menu of possible special education services and placements. It emphasizes education of students with special needs in the LRE. Because many children in the system were already receiving services under another continuum, it's important to be familiar with both. What follows are outlines of the

Extractions: Special Education Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act - IDEA -, children with disabilities and their parents have many important rights. The law is complicated, so if your child is being considered for special education or already in such a program, it's wise to contact an attorney or advocate to learn how the law applies to your situation. What Your Child is Entitled to Under Federal Law IDEA guarantees a "free appropriate education" - FAPE - to children with disabilities. The law also seeks to ensure that children with disabilities are, to the maximum extent appropriate, educated alongside non-disabled children and given access to the grade-appropriate curriculum. This means that a district should make every effort to ensure children receive services and supports to allow them to stay in a regular classroom, unless it is clear this is not beneficial. Children who cannot be educated in a regular classroom, even with supports and services, can be placed in separate classes or schools especially for children with special needs. However, often those settings do not enable children to meet educational standards. If no appropriate public school programs are available, children may be entitled to free tuition at a private school. Evaluations and Individualized Education Plans
Special Education individual and group counseling, and for individualized tutoring while the otherswere eligible for 504 plans. regarding the needs of special education students http://www.parker.org/AnnualReport00-01/special_education.htm
Extractions: Special Education Special education services at the Parker School are provided in the context of a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of individualized education for all students. Each student, whether or not he or she is considered eligible for special education services, has a Personal Learning Plan (PLP). Similar in many ways to an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), the process of developing the PLP requires the collaboration of the adviser, teachers, the parent, and the student in assessing current progress and developing educational goals for the school year. Many strategies typically described in IEPs are included in these learning plans, often making referral to special education unnecessary. Arrangements are also made to provide individual tutoring when the need arises. Some students may not require specially designed instruction (a requirement for IEP eligibility), but do have a handicapping condition more appropriately addressed through a Section 504 Accommodation Plan. A number of students who are not officially categorized under either law nevertheless require and receive a great deal of special attention. Traditional special education services are available for those students whom the Evaluation TEAM determines to be eligible. Reflecting the Parker schools inclusive philosophy, most students with learning disabilities attend all regular classes for the entire school day, receiving support primarily from their classroom teachers. Exceptions to this pattern are made for situations requiring privacy, such as individual and group counseling, and for individualized tutoring. To accommodate students who need more academic support, a fully qualified special education teacher was added to our staff this year.
