Extractions: WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY? Music therapy is a health care profession which draws upon the unique healing aspects of music to help individuals overcome handicaps,illnesses, and behavioral problems. In music therapy, a person is able to better him/herself by taking part in carefully-designed musical experiences. These experiences may involve listening to music as well as creating and performing music. The music therapist assists the person in the musical experience, so that the client will get the best possible benefits from the sessions. For centuries, man has been aware of the healing and beneficial powers of music to combat illness and disease. The field of music therapy began in the late 1940's, as individuals interested in using music for healing benefits began to share theories and ideas. In the years that followed, research was conducted about the effects of music therapy and educational programs were begun at colleges and universities around the country. The American Music Therapy Association was formed in 1950; and that organization sets the requirements for music therapy academic curricula, accredits academic and clinical training programs, and serves as the professional organization for music therapists.

As late as last year the State Department of Education did an extensive monitoring evaluation of Knox County Schools Special Education Department. Do you know what they said? The state monitors said, "We were a model special ed. department and the very best in the state." If monies were available in a grant format, we would be willing to partner with higher education and regular education to develop a seamless curriculum for special needs children that mirrors the regular educational curricular goals and objectives. We would like for the "special" in our title to merge with regular education so that we are all working together for the needs of the child.

Private Schools Take On Kids' Special Needs sprung up at about a halfdozen other Middle tennessee private schools Our learning-disabledstudents are they go back to school and get certified for special ed http://www.causeonline.org/Tennessean4-8-02.htm
Extractions: Private schools take on kids' special needs by Jennifer Barnett, The Tennessean, April 8, 2002 Trailblazing wasn't on the mind of Lisa Bruce on the night 10 years ago when a stranger knocked on her door, looking for help for her daughter who had dyslexia. Bruce was trained in special education, but she was taking time off to raise a family. Linda Burton was a mother intent on keeping her daughter, Grace, at David Lipscomb Campus School despite the dyslexia that confounded her. A decade later, though, the program that started with Bruce teaching Grace in a spare corner of the school has a staff of 20 and a clientele of 250 students. Similar programs have sprung up at about a half-dozen other Middle Tennessee private schools, and at least one more school Davidson Academy in Nashville may join them this fall. Private schools that offer extra services for students with special needs are still rare, and they usually exclude children with more severe problems such as behavioral disorders or mental retardation. But educators say the programs have become an integral part of their schools' missions. ''I've been doing a lot of reflecting,'' Bruce said about the 10th anniversary of her involvement with Lipscomb. ''It's unbelievable how far we've come with the acceptance of children and their individual needs.''

Extractions: Viewpoint on Public Issues, The Mackinac Center , October 6, 1997 Forgotten children. Troubled youth. Learning disabled. Students with special needs. Whatever the euphemism, these are children who are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. At the same time, many people think that these students can not be served well by the private sector either, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is time to lay to rest the myth that private schools are elitist institutions that "skim the cream" and leave all the toughest kids to the public schools. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-to-educate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private sector group to do the job. The Directory for Exceptional Children lists roughly 3,000 special education schools and facilities in the private sector nationwide. Their costs of educating a student vary widely, depending in large part on the nature of the disability category served, and may also include the cost of medical care and transportation. Examples include Sobriety High in Edina, Minnesota, which educates 9th through 12th grade students in recovery from chemical dependency. The famed Boys Town, based in Nebraska, directly cares for more than 27,000 boys and girls annually in fourteen states and the District of Columbia. The Helicon Shelter Education Program, a division of Childrens Comprehensive Services, provides certified teachers, materials, curriculum, and academic recordkeeping on site at 27 emergency foster care shelters throughout Tennessee.

Extractions: Bella Higdon sees it all the time: experienced teachers who are full of ideas on how to help special-needs children in their regular classrooms but don't know what to do for students who are intellectually gifted. ''It's like night and day,'' said Higdon, a professor of elementary and special education at Middle Tennessee State University who also conducts seminars for working teachers. ''They can't come up with ideas. It's much more difficult to differentiate the instruction on the upper-bound than on the lower levels.'' About 60 teachers are learning to do just that during a privately funded two-week academy for teachers now being held at MTSU. The Jennings and Rebecca Jones Academy for Teachers of the Gifted named for the Rutherford County couple who fund it is the only statewide program of its kind, Higdon said. The teachers, who stay in MTSU dormitories, spent the first week learning the theory of gifted education, including common characteristics of gifted children and how to adapt lesson plans to challenge highly intelligent students.
