How To Prepare
Preparing for Disasters
YOUR FAMILY DISASTER PLAN Where will your family be when disaster strikes? They could be anywhere at work at school or in the car. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children are safe? Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services water, gas, electricity or telephones were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. Families can-and do- cope with disaster by preparing in advance and working together as a team. Follow the steps listed here to create your family disaster plan. Knowing what to do is your best protection and your responsibility.

Star Schools Cycle Three - 1992
Cycle Three: The following six "general" projects were funded in the third (FY 1992-94) cycle:
  • Satellite Educational Resources Consortium (SERC) , also a grantee in cycle one, expanded its use of technology through five new initiatives including increasing interactivity between students and on-air teachers through computer networking; expanding opportunities in mathematics and science for middle schools; enriching teacher support using distance learning technologies; creating a series of national forums involving school policymakers; and strengthening the linkages between state departments, public television entities, local schools, institutions of higher education, teacher training institutions, telecommunications companies, and other distance learning providers.
  • Educational Service District 101 (ESD 101) served a predominately rural and remote area. The project served two populations of adults and youth with special needs those with limited English proficiency and persons who are functionally ill-prepared for the workplace. ESD 101 chose as its mission to enable students to achieve world class standards in the core subject areas by providing (a) quality instructional programming for various grade levels as well as adults, including workplace basics and skills; (b) inservice courses and teleconferences for teachers, administrators, board members, and parents; (c) technical and information support to schools; and (d) an effective evaluation plan that examined student performance and other issues.

Teachers Say Morale Is Low
Maria Thomson has taught special education at Lincoln Elementary for 13 years. (Rick Egan/The Salt Lake Tribune) BY SHINIKA A. SYKES
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE

As most Utah schools prepare to open after summer vacation, some teachers say they have anxieties about their future in the career.
"There are lots of reasons for apathy and lower morale," said Peggy Clark, a 23-year special education teacher in the Granite School District, echoing sentiments held by colleagues statewide. "The next two or three years will probably not be a good time to begin a career in education."
According to a recent survey by the American Federation of Teachers, starting salaries for Utah teachers rank near the bottom among potential careers for college graduates. The gap actually grows as a teacher spends more time in the job, especially in comparing a teacher with a master's degree to someone in another field who has a master's, the study found.

I do not believe that special needs children should be problem of having too manymultiple disabled children mixed of the Deaf and Blind children of utah. .
http://www.uad.org/bulletin/aug2001/opinion.html
Deaf Opinion Printed in Ogden Newspaper Dr. Robert G. Sanderson wrote a letter that was printed in the Ogden Standard-Examiner on May 13, 2001 on Deaf Education. Following are some of the text: "Educating deaf children is probably one of the most demanding, frustrating and least rewarding of the teaching professions. When children are deaf from birth or very early in life, virtually all of the sounds of spoken language are lost. When deafness is complicated by other, often multiple disabilities - limited vision, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, autism, emotional or other problems - "teaching" becomes a severe struggle for both the children and teachers. I strongly believe such a situation is decidedly unfair to everyone, deaf children, their teachers, their parents and the school administration. Unfortunately, the Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind are now, and have been for some time, faced with a situation that is seldom clearly understood and reported by the media. What it boils down to is whether the schools are responsible for educating children who are deaf or blind and who are otherwise normal physically and mentally, or whether the schools must take these special children who have additional severe disabilities. With respect to the deaf, in my view, the law is quite clear: Utah’s law states: "The school shall provide a practical education for the deaf, who are under 21 years of age and otherwise physically and mentally able to profit from instruction, to instruct them so that they may become self-supporting and useful citizens."

THE PRODUCT IS NOT THE POINT WHEN ART AND SPECIAL ED MIX
October 21, 2000 WARRENTON, Va. They may never become great artists or musicians or actors. Then again, maybe they will. The beauty of using the arts in educating students with disabilities is that, either way, the students end up with one critical, often elusive feeling success. Getting parents, the community and other teachers to see this, however, can be an art teacher's biggest challenge. "We have found that sometimes the product is not the thing, it's how we get our students to that point, to produce the product," Salt Lake City teacher Barbara Heglund said at the P. Buckley Moss Foundation's annual conference.. Working in a self-contained school for students with mental retardation and additional disabilities, Heglund and her co-teacher Mary Brow have developed dozens of lesson plans and activities incorporating visual art, dance and music to help students learn a variety of basic skills. Art activities can provide an alternative teaching approach when other methods fail, but schools often do not recognize they have other options, says Sally Smith, a longtime educator, lecturer and founder of

Successfully Homeschooling Children with Special Needs

If you are a parent of a child with special needs and considering homeschooling, you undoubtedly have many questions and concerns. You’re not alone, but you probably know more about homeschooling than you realize. For example, you’ve spent the first five years of your child’s life as his most important "teacher." In addition, if your child has been in public school, you’ve probably spent many evenings and weekends helping your child do homework. Guess what? You’ve been homeschooling.
My husband, Clint, and I have "been there—done that," and now we’re on our tenth year of homeschooling. Our sons Cj (22) and Shane (15) have been diagnosed with attention differences, and had we left them in public school, it is my opinion they would have inherited more labels as well.
Has homeschooling been hard? Sometimes. Interesting? Who said living with children with special needs is boring? Can it be done? Yes! Homeschooling isn’t a cure, and it is easier for some families than for others. However, homeschooling has rapidly become a respected alternative, especially for those children with special needs who are being pushed out of public schools.
It's not my place to diagnose, label, or tell you how to homeschool your child with special needs. And the issues of medication and counseling belong within the scope of each family’s decision-making process. However, with the one-on-one learning that parents provide in a homeschool environment, children with special needs can soar.
