Extractions: Fax UNESCO Survey on Special Needs Education Law 1996 CSIE summary In 1996 UNESCO published the results of a world-wide survey of the laws relating to special educational needs in 52 countries. The report, Legislation Pertaining to Special Needs Education , is a useful indicator of how a range of countries have approached this area of education. This free CSIE Summary focuses on the integration aspects of the report. The full list of countries is given below and shows a mixture of developed and developing nations. UNESCO said such a study was timely because of the number of important landmark developments in this field of education in recent years. These include: the International Year of Disabled Persons in 1981; the Decade of Disabled Persons 1983-92; the World Programme of Action in Favour of Disabled Persons in 1983; the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989;

Extractions: Each year we receive numerous queries regarding access to our collection of alternate format materials from parents and teachers responsible for serving the information needs of print disabled students who are not blind, visually impaired, or deafblind. As we are an organization charitably funded to serve Canadians who are visually impaired, and do not receive direct government funding, we are unable to deliver direct service to print disabled Canadians who are not visually impaired. This kit is intended to enable the parent or teacher to have an understanding of the process for gaining access to alternate format materials for students who are print disabled. We hope you will find the resources and options listed in this kit to be useful and welcome any additional resources you may know of.

Strategies Thus a disabled woman is left aside, isolated, marginalised, socially unaccepted and neglected- an object of pity, and considered to be a burden barely borne out of sheer humanistic obligations. The vulnerability of a disabled women is multiplied manifold as she is mentally and/or physically unable to fend for herself in the face of sexual harassment, rape or other forms of physical violence. In this scenario of overall data gaps on the nature and extent of disability, sex disaggregated data is even more difficult to obtain. So much so, that disabled women remain invisible in the arena of planning and formulating policies and programmes of poverty alleviation and development. Data on the number of disabled, obtained through national surveys conducted in several countries in the region is presented in Table 1. This data pertains to different years and is being used in the absence of more recent data. It is indicative of the magnitude of the disabled segment of the national population.

Extractions: educprog/sne/salamanc/index.htm In June 1994 representatives of 92 governments and 25 international organisations formed the World Conference on Special Needs Education, held in Salamanca, Spain. They agreed a dynamic new Statement on the education of all disabled children, which called for inclusion to be the norm. In addition, the Conference adopted a new Framework for Action , the guiding principle of which is that ordinary schools should accommodate all children, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic or other conditions. All educational policies, says the Framework , should stipulate that disabled children attend the neighbourhood school 'that would be attended if the child did not have a disability.' The Statement begins with a commitment to Education for All, recognising the necessity and urgency of providing education for all children, young people and adults 'within the regular education system.' It says those children with special educational needs 'must have access to regular schools' and adds:

The theme was: " ACCESS AND QUALITY ". The aim of this conference was not only to look for a way of moving closer to the Jomtien objective of Education for All, but also and mostly to promote the integration of children and adolescents with special educational needs (disabled children, children in difficulties, etc) in the standard educational system. The aim therefore is to promote the ability of ordinary schools to receive all children, whatever handicap they may have (including all forms of disabilities or difficulties).

'My husband couldn't leave his station in Africa so I alone had to take my two children under three years of age to London for a week of testing." - comments of American parents who have lived abroad with learning-disabled children For parents of children with severe learning disabilities, dyslexia, problems with their own language and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), moving abroad causes great difficulties but can, at times, also bring unexpected gifts. 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.
