Volunteering Volunteers are truly the heart of SOWV. Nearly 5,000 individuals state-wide give of their time and talents to assure Special Olympics West Virginia programs are of the highest caliber and quality possible. Through positive volunteer experiences, individuals of all ages have improved their interpersonal skills, experienced opportunities in numerous career alternatives and developed or enhanced their leadership and managerial abilities. Companies whose employees volunteer experience an improved sense of teamwork and pride in their organization and themselves.
Running a year-round sports training and competition program for individuals with mental retardation takes more than just good intentions. We rely on thousands of volunteers to train and support thousands of athletes who participate in Special Olympics throughout the year. You can help in many different ways.

Identifying Students with Disabilities Tazewell County Public Schools ensures that all children with disabilities, aged two to 21, inclusive, residing in Tazewell County have a right to a free and appropriate public education. Disabled children are those children who manifest one or more of the following impairments, and who, because of those impairments, need special education. The State of Virginia uses the following definitions: 1. Autism means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age 3, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. 2. Deaf blindness means concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational problems that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for deaf or blind children.

Currently many schools are again looking closely at "Inclusion" (mainstreaming/ integration) of special needs students into the classroom. It is important to understand these students and to learn how to assist them in being successful in school and in their lives. For the administrators and teachers needing information on Inclusion go to:

Here is a solid overview of the many aspects of inclusion (philosophy, legal requirements, teacher and administrator’s role, teaching strategies, financial considerations, an inclusive classroom, team planning, and more) with links to Special Education on the Internet .

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/6534/aboutme.html
All About Me
   My name is Patrick Toney.  I am 36 years old, and as I said on my first page, I am a special educator. I have been teaching for about 14 years.  I taught  for three years in West Virginia (where I am originally from), and the last eleven in Virginia.
I was born on March 4, 1965 in Charleston, WV.  I am the youngest of six children.  We lived in Cabin Creek, WV until I was 5 years old, when we moved to Marmet, WV into an old plantation house.  When I was 18, we then moved again to Cross Lanes, WV which is a suburb of Charleston.
  I am very fortunate to have had two terrific and supportive parents growing up.  My dad, Dan Toney, was a personnel director for a mining company and my mom, Ann Toney, was a housewife.  I have nothing but good memories of my childhood and all my family did together.  My dad sadly passed away unexpectedly on November 11, 1999.  He was 72 and is still very much missed.
My brothers and sister and I still keep in touch and we are pretty much scattered "in and around" West Virginia.  My oldest brother, Max, lives in the Elkins, WV area.  He has four children and two grandchildren.  My brother Dan lives in the Charleston area and has two grown children who are both married.  My brother Nelson passed away at the age of 42, but had one son.  My sister, Debra, has two children and lives in Fayette County, WV.  My brother Scott has three children and lives in Charlotte, NC.  That means I have 12 nieces/nephews and 2 great-nieces!
