S ERVICES IN S CHOOL FOR C HILDREN W ITH S PECIAL N EEDS: W HAT P ARENTS N EED TO K NOW No. 83 Some children experience difficulties in school, ranging from problems with concentration, learning, language, and perception to problems with behavior and/or making and keeping friends. These difficulties may be due to one or more of the following: physical disorders, psychiatric disorders, emotional problems, behavioral problems, and learning disorders (or disabilities). These children with special needs are usually entitled to receive special services or accommodations through the public schools. Federal law mandates that every child will receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. It also entitles children with special needs to receive extra services. To support their ability to learn in school, three Federal laws apply to children with special needs: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (1975) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of l973 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (l990). Between states, there are different criteria for eligibility, services available, procedures for implementing the Federal laws, and procedural safeguards. It is important for parents to be aware of these laws and regulations in their particular area.

Policy Statement Pediatrics Volume 108, Number 2 August 2001, pp 516-518 School Bus Transportation of Children With Special Health Care Needs AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS Committee on Injury and Poison Prevention ABSTRACT. School systems are responsible for ensuring that children with special needs are safely transported on all forms of federally approved transportation provided by the school system, and a plan should be developed to provide the most current and proper support to children with special transportation requirements. This statement provides current guidelines for the protection of child passengers with specific health care needs, including those with a tracheostomy, those requiring use of car seats, or those transported in wheelchairs. Guidelines that apply to general school transportation should be followed, including the training of staff, provision of nurses or aides if needed, establishment of a written emergency evacuation plan, and a comprehensive infection control program. Research provides the basis for recommendations concerning occupant securement for children in wheelchairs and children with other special needs who are transported on a school bus. Pediatricians can help their patients by being aware of guidelines for restraint systems for children with special needs and by remaining informed of new resources. Pediatricians can also play an important role at the state and local level in the development of school bus specifications.

White Buffalo Press Chapter Eight: Special Needs School Bus Emergencies Bus Mechanical Failures Bus mechanical failures, particularly lift-equipped bus mechanical failures are likely the most serious emergencies to occur on special needs buses. When essential bus equipment fails, particularly lift equipment failure, the bus must be replaced during the route. When specially-equipped buses experience mechanical failures, are involved in accidents or are stranded because of road conditions then spare specially-equipped buses must be used. Bus mechanical failures eliminate the ability of the vehicle to be safely driven. Most bus mechanical failures occur in residential areas where there usually is lighter, secondary road traffic. More failures occur when the bus is outbound from the bus garage or parking area before the first student is picked up in the morning or before the first school building is reached in the afternoon at the school loading zone. The empty outbound bus in the morning or afternoon run is easily replaced without danger to students with disabilities but perhaps with some danger to the driver and assistant on board. When students are on board they must be off-loaded and transferred to another receiving, or spare, bus. At the school loading zone students can be off-loaded back into the school building with supervision until the replacement bus arrives. Out-of-Service Specially-Equipped Buses Some students with disabilities, particularly those using mobility aids or who use specialized wheelchairs, may require unique wheelchair securement not available on spare buses. When there is no spare bus and the regular bus with special wheelchair securement equipment is offlineso is the disabled student from being safely transported.

Collecting Emergency Documents Get the latest Acrobat Reader to ensure error-free PDF browsing. Disaster Preparedness for People With Disabilities (PDF) Establish a Personal Support Network A personal support network is made up of individuals who will check with you in an emergency to ensure you are O.K. and to give assistance if needed. This network can consist of friends, roommates, family members, relatives, personal attendants, co-workers and neighbors. Some people rely on personal assistance services (attendants). This type of assistance may not be available after a major quake. Therefore it is vital that your personal support network consist of different people than those who are your personal attendants. If you employ a personal attendant or use the services of a home health agency or other type of in-home service, discuss with these people a plan for what you will do in case of an emergency. How will you get along in an emergency for as long as 7 days? A critical element to consider in your emergency planning is the establishment of a personal support network. Even if you do not use a personal attendant, it is important to consider having a personal support network to assist you in coping with an emergency. Do not depend on any one person.
