Back to Top WHAT ARE SPECIAL NEEDS: Physical and Developmental Disabilities Disability may be single or multiple, and include loss or impairment of manual dexterity, mobility, vision, hearing, and mental or emotional function. In a sense, everyone is disabled at one time or another and unable to perform a task because of physical limitations or environmental barriers. When this happens, people try to minimize the limitation, modify the environment, or both. For example, to take a job on the hundredth floor of a building requires either sufficient physical stamina to make the climb each day or the use of an adaptive piece of equipment (an elevator). If the elevator is undependable and stamina is inadequate for the climb, the individual having to work in such a location would be handicapped. Everyone constantly compensates for disabilities by altering or removing handicaps. The inconvenience and fatigue of walking from suburb to city is modified by using a car or a bus. A bridge or a boat makes it possible to cross a river without having t o swim.

Care for Children with Special Needs Thirty years ago, most schools did not enroll children with severe problems. Children born with severe disabilities used to be kept in institutions. Refinements in treatment and equipment have allowed more of these children to live at home, and thus have the possibility of going to school along with other children. The ideal of integrating children with special needs into mainstream classrooms is now clearly agreed upon by both professionals and the public. Both typical and atypical children are considered to benefit from this policy. The Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, amended in 1986 and renamed Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), reinforced by the American with Disabilities Act (1990), require mainstreaming in public institutions and in private institutions that accept public support. We have, however, a long way to go in creating an effective service delivery system to promote the integration of children with disabilities. Special supplementary funds are appropriated for child care centers who take children with special needs, but funding is limited and most centers are wary of taking in these children. No one knows just how many preschool children are disabled. Eleven percent of public school children received special education in 1993. That figure is expected to rise as more families take advantage of the services created by the federal legislation.

Although Preschool Power! videos weren't designed specifically for special needs children, we have been pleased and gratified to receive a number of wonderful notes of recommendationboth from specialists and parents of autistic, ADD and ADHD children. The latest one just came in recently (December 14, 2001) via the Customer Feedback form of our online store here and we're so proud and pleased to hear our programs are helping this family. Here's what Jeanne Mifflin of Snellville, Georgia wrote about her recent purchase and how it has helped her family. It is expected that my son will be diagnosed with some type of high functioning autism in January. He is 3-1/2 and has developmental delays. We've had the first Preschool Power video for about two weeks and the others I ordered arrived last week. Just in two weeks, he can now put on his jacket, spoon beads and shells, etc., make shadow puppets on the wall, squeeze water out of a sponge, pour milk from a pitcher, cut up a banana and the list goes on and on and on. He is also suddenly interested in doing basically everything he sees on these tapes. He found the tongue twisters daunting on the second tape, since he has a speech delay, but, once I joked about them being hard to do, he even enjoys

GEORGIA RESOURCES FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS l. Educational Services Educational services for children with disabilities are provided under IDEA (Individual with Disabilities Act). IDEA is a federal law which requires that a free and appropriate public education be available to children and youth with disabilities in mandated age ranges. This includes special education and related services. a IFSP Funds are available to cover mandated services for eligible children when no other resources are available. At age three, eligible children are transitioned to other public and private programs to insure ongoing provision of needed services. Local offices are assigned by county or health district. Referrals are accepted from parents, hospital nurseries, pediatricians or other medical personnel, child development centers, etc. http://www.ph.dhr.state.ga.us/programs/bcw/index.shtml/ b. Special Needs Preschool. Part B of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Act) provides for testing, placement in the least restrictive environment and an individualized education program IEP through the local public school system for children with disabilities ages 3 to 5 years. Contact is made through the "director of special needs preschool" or "preschool coordinator" of the local school system. Local phone numbers can be found in the blue pages under "education" or "school system" of the county in which the child lives.

Parents should not hesitate to contact the local schools to express concerns and request an assessment to determine eligibility for public school services.

Unfortunately in some of the families, one or more of the children are particularly special because of some physical, intellectual or behavioural disability which makes them different from the rest of the community. Why do multiples have special needs? It is important to recognise not all disabilities in multiples have the same cause. This is only a very brief summary and much more information can be found in medical texts such as Bryan (1992) . We are concerned here only with potential implications for schooling. (i) the process of twinning, especially MZ twinning is linked with some congenital abnormalities such as cleft palate and certain cardiac conditions. Some of these may be associated with the split of the mass of developing cells into two or more individuals and some to placentation and the transfusion syndrome (ii) the higher risks of being born preterm and of low or very low birthweight. The best known example of such problems is Cerebral Palsy which is more common in twins, unfortunately even more common in higher multiples and especially common when one or more of the multiples has died.

Many authorities believe this high rate of normalcy occurs because the eyes and the entire visual system are so important to humans. However, the normal health and structure of the eyes do not guarantee that your child will be able to use those eyes efficiently in the world he must see and interpret. The classroom, into which your child enters around the age of six, demands much of a child's vision. This classroom, and its special tasks, demands visual abilities and skills every child must learn before he enters school if he is to be successful there. These abilities and skills are learned much better by your preschool child when you (and all others caring for your child) know how to evaluate your child's progress, and how to guide and assist this vision development for future academic success. This Parents' Guide is designed to give you enough information about visual development so you can make intelligent observations, and know when, where and how to help your preschool child. The Parents' Preschool Visual Development Checklist, which follows some General Notes below, can help you know where your child is on the scale of developing necessary visual skills. Because the sequence of child development is more important than the age at which a given skill developed, all ages given on the checklist are approximate. If your child lags behind the scale by more than four to six weeks in the time from birth to age two, professional help should be sought to assure your child's successful performance in his academic future.
