Adolescent and Adult Issues
Adolescents have much different issues than younger children. This is a time when many decisions have to be made about a disabled person's future. Independence is possible for some high functioning autistics, others may need plans for their continuing care. Difficult behaviour and emotional problems such as depression may also increase during adolescence. Issues covered on this page, and on individual pages as more information becomes available, include: transition (from high school), post secondary education, housing, employment, and other independence issues.

To Guide Entry
The primary objective of this unit is to sensitize both students and teachers to special education students and their needs and their rights. Many regular education students and teachers have had limited contact with special education students. They have very little understanding of the various handicaps of children with special needs. The information and activities in this unit will help Non-handicapped students get past their misconceptions and misunderstandings about children with handicaps. Teachers must help their students to understand and accept their peers with special needs. Teaching students about the various disabilities the other students have will foster an understanding of students with special needs. It is ignorance about disabilities and handicaps that breeds fear. Through education, non-handicapped students will learn to respect and understand the handicapped students as individuals. The second objective of this unit is to help the mainstreamed child with special needs to feel comfortable, accepted and confident in his or her classroom.

Appendix D: Bibliography Go to the Main report Appendix A Summary of 1997 Library Services to Special Needs Youth Survey Note: The narrative section of this survey is below. However, because of the formatting, the actual survey is available only as a Word document. A survey about library services to youth with special needs was distributed to all 381 public libraries in Wisconsin as part of the state’s 1997 Public Library Annual Report form, and 364 responses were received. The purpose of the survey was to obtain data about ongoing library services to youth with special needs that are funded locally, rather than with federal Library Services and Technology Act monies. When asked if the library offered outreach services to low-income youth and/or those with disabilities in the past year, over one-third (134) responded yes. Survey results showed that Wisconsin public libraries were more likely to provide services for low-income youth than for those with disabilities. Services for low-income youth were provided by 29% of public libraries and services for youth with disabilities were provided by 16% of public libraries. Age of Youth Served Generally speaking, public libraries offer their broadest range of programs and services for young children. The survey showed that services for children with special needs also tend to be directed to younger age groups, and decrease as children progress through school. For example, 95 public libraries said they provided services to low-income children from birth through preschool age. From a high of 95, the numbers of public libraries with services for low-income youth declined as the children age, from 73 libraries serving kindergarten through grade 3 to a low of 22 libraries serving grades 10-12. The same pattern is evident in services to youth with disabilities. Forty-three libraries said they offered services to youth from birth through preschool and youth in kindergarten through grade 3, while only 26 libraries provided services to youth in grades 10-12.

And so begins a discussion about "installing an elevator."No small challenge in a stone walled building of 100+ years of age! I remember a friend who, as part of a training class, was confined to a wheelchair for a day. Her task was trying to move around the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus for just one summer day. She told me about getting hung up on railroad tracks, having doors closed on her, missing class because there was no way up a small rise of stairs and having to sit in the back where the floor was flat enough to accommodate her wheelchair. She tried to imagine snowdrifts and ice in winter! At the end of that day, she was exhausted and frustrated with a new understanding of what it means to be disabled in a world built around full-scale mobility and five fully functioning senses. This issue of Manna will provide information, resources and stories from churches and pastors who allowed faith and vision to guide their ministries with disabled children and adults. I hope it causes you to consider not only who comes on Sunday, but more importantly, who is not there and how we might welcome them in the name of Jesus Christ.

WORKFORCE 2000 - CUSTODIAL TRAINING PROGRAM The Workforce 2000 - Custodial Program is a partnership between Illinois Central College, several high schools in the Peoria area, and business partners in the professional maintenance field. The students enrolled are learning disabled students with I.E.P.'s or "at risk" students who are between 16-18 years of age. The students are receiving dual credit - both high school credit for graduation and college credit toward an Illinois Community College Board approved certificate in Custodial Training. The college courses involved include: CUST 101 - Floor Care CUST 102 - Furniture, Wall, Window and Fixture Care CUST 103 - Area Cleaning Program The students also take Psychology 116 - Human Potential Seminar and Psychology 117 - Conflict Resolution to help them address any problems that may arise in a custodial employment situation. These courses are both one college credit hour. The custodial classes are taught by practicing custodians, one of whom also has a degree in education. One of the high school districts "lends" us a teacher's aide who also helps to oversee the students as they participate in work-based learning experiences here at Illinois Central College. The Workforce 2000 Work-Based Learning Programs (Manufacturing, Graphic Arts and Custodial) also have a WBL Coordinator to help oversee the three high school/college/business partner programs.

Special Education in Lutheran Schools
Paula Rosen, Northeast Regional Director of Lutheran Special Education Ministries In a New York Lutheran High School, a student with a reading disability achieves honor roll status with the support of the resource room teacher. In Illinois, a child diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and his classroom teacher receive support from the on-site consultant special education teacher. In California, a little girl with a math disability works three days a week with a special education teacher building her skills. In Michigan, a child with a hearing impairment receives special instruction toward confirmation. A preschool staff in Indiana attends a workshop about how to include a child with special needs in their school. In Minnesota, a child with a writing disability receives special instruction on the writing process and keyboarding lessons from the special education teacher. Lutheran schools have a reputation for providing a quality education for children, which includes knowing about their Lord and Savior. Today, more and more, Lutheran schools are opening their doors and their hearts a little wider to include children with special learning needs. Lutheran Special Education Ministries is providing the services for many Christian schools across the nation to keep their doors open.

http://www.illinoishouse.org/a13.htm
Please update your bookmark for this page to http://www.illinoishouse.org/a13.htm Homeschooling the Special Needs Child Homeschooling a child with special needs is not a question of legality. As a parent of a child with special needs, you can receive special services from your school district at no further cost you have already paid for them with your taxes. This includes speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, audiologists' and social workers' services. These are all covered by Public Law 94-142. A cheerful, polite call to your local school district ought to get things started nicely. Do not be surprised if there is a pleasant, but persistent effort on their part to convince you to send your child to their school on a full-time basis. You can be pleasant and persistent too, rather as you would be if a valued friend tried to convince you to change your religious affiliation. If you are treated rudely, it may well be the reaction of someone who feels threatened. Be calm. Sooner or later others realize that you merely want services that you have paid for. Have you read the information on how to deal with questions about socialization, both from family members and others? Read them again, because this applies even more to those whose children have special needs. I remember talking to a teacher of slow learners. She was indignant that one of her former students was to be homeschooled. The child was already immature, she said, implying that being among her family would make her more so. Later I talked to her mother, who said that once her child was removed from an immature peer group she had improved dramatically. This seemed eminently plausible to me. That is not to say that your child should be removed from all peer contact.
