In the 13 categories of qualification for an IEP is Serious Emotional Disturbance. This can be, specific to state, also EI or Emotionally Impaired. However, EI can also be Early Intervention which is for children who are aged 5 to 8, depending on the state, who need an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) or Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP), again depending on the state.\n\nC.U. appears to be a commonly used part of a school's name, not only in your state.

Inclusion is when students with a need for individiualized instruction are included in the regular classroom and receive the services they need within the classroom setting.  This may be for some or all classes.\n\nStudents who are mainstreamed are most often students with mild to moderate learning or emotional disabilities.  They will have an invoiivualized education plan (IEP) written by a team of people concerned about his/her educational progress.  That team generally incudes special education teacher, regular education teachers, specialists such as speech therapists, parents and representatives from any community service providing agencies.\n\nThe IEP will include modifications and accomodations that may be made within the general education setting to allow the student to thrive.  These may be as simple as untimed tests and seating near the teacher, to having the teacher wear a special sound ampligfication device, among others.\n\nDoes inclusion work?  Well, that depends on the school district's commitment to inclduing kids in the regular classroom, on the students (and parents') willingness to meet some general classroom expectations, and upon the skill of the classroom teacher.  If everyone works together and expects success, it generally happens.  If any member of the instructional team doubts the child's ability to succedd, it usually becomes a self-fulfilling prohecy, and the child may end up back in a separate special education setting. This special environment is viewed as being a more restictive environment, whereas the incluusion class is viewed as a less restrictive environment, as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).\n\nMy third grader has surprised some naysayers and has been included in regular education for math and special subjects for two years now.  I also enjoy helping students reach their academic goals.\n\nI hope this answers your question.

Do the "normal" children get less attention than the "special" ones?  I have 4 kids in school.  2 with no issues.  One with ADD and Dyslexia, and another that is just a slow starter.  The ones who have issues get wonderful amounts of attention and help.  Now I have not noticed any thing with my 2 that are good in school.  But  another parent in our area decided not to send her child to this elementary school, because a substitute teacher for our school told her that the "normal" ones are pretty much ignored.  I have thought a lot about this lately, and think it would be a pretty controversial thing to pursue, as we all of course want    the ones with special needs to get the attention they need, but at what cost?  How do you demand equal attention for the others without sounding callous?

Persons who score below a 70 IQ on standard tests administered by psychologists and psychometricians are 'certified' to be developmentally disabled. In the 1950s, people who had a developmental disability were called retarded. Today they are called students with special needs that are mainstreamed in special education classes. They  also referred to as having a developmental disability. Special education teachers have classes for those with developmental disability. This is different from those with I.Qs above 70 who may be bright but have learning disabilities which is a visual problem that can be corrected with certain eye exercises that build brain dendrons. Those with developmental disabilities formerly called mentally retarded are divided into trainable or educable.\n\nIn the days before 1930, trainable retarded persons with IQs under 50 were called imbeciles. Educables, with IQs over 60 were called morons, and those who had IQs below 25 were called idiots. Today, those terms are vile and of course, not used. Instead, students are placed in sheltered workshops based on their potential and abilities. Special education students now hold jobs and are independent in most cases. Check out the many bakeries and restaurants or schools hiring those to do a wide variety of work, such as making donuts, sanitation, and factory box production.

I have a 16 yr.old son who has add and he is in behaverhol special ed. He causes commotions in his classes (as do other students) and I am sure the learning process is disturbed. I feel that alot of times the teachers in public school are not equipped to handle these children. I get calls from these teachers for the same things that the regular ed teachers called me for.I was under the assumption that is why they put him in special ed so that he can be with teachers that know how to handle these kids but it doesnt seem to be the case.They still deserve to have an education.

ooohhh, cant list exact source but i believe if you look up the  IDEA law on that was created in the 1970s after the civil rights movement, it may give you a clue.  do you mean private preschool for sped, or inclusive?  because these answers will be different.  it wasnt until the civil rights movement that disable kids were even thought to have rights of their own to an equal education so my guess is that most of these kids were institutionalized.  but again, look up the IDEA and the history of special ed.  or the history of preschool sped.  good luck!

Go way back to 1975...the law was originally EHA Education for all Handicap Children, it is now known as 94-142 IDEA Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. \n\nAlso ADA American Disabilties Act covers section 504 students, these are the students who dont qualify for special education.

This question is miscategorized.\n\nSpecial Education refers to the education and parenting of children with special needs.\n\nBefore you say stay away from Cartoon Network, take a look at Ed, Edd, and Eddy. The "brainy" character uses advanced vocabulary in context and correctly. Invariably, when I use more advanced vocabulary in my classroom, the first response from the kids is that's a "Double D" word...and they usually already understand it.

what does this have to do with special education?

Ha! I love how how you categorized your question under "special education" :). Funny.

Probably the best thing you can do is contact a local elementary school with a PPCD unit. Talk to the teacher there, she/he should be able to give you more information. Or eve try the local school district offices, they should have all the info. Good Luck!

If you are in the United States, then you should have an IEP in place (if you are in middle or high school) under the Visual Impairment category. If the teachers are not providing you with the appropriate classroom and instructional modifications per your IEP, then you need to let your special ed caseworker know immediately. If nothing happens, have your parents start making noise about sueing. The IEP is a legally binding contract, and the teachers must abide by it.\n\nIf you are in college, in the United States, then the Americans with Disabilities Act Section 504 (ADA 504) covers your issue. Contact your college's Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD). They should be advocating for you. If your OSD does not speak up for you, get a lawyer. Given the already existing infringement of your ADA 504 rights, I'm sure you can find someone who will work on percentage rather than flat fee...the college will have to pay up!\n\nWhy are you seated so far away from instruction in the ASL class? Assigned seating? If so, the teacher MUST move you to the front, by law.\n\nIf you don't live in the U.S., contact a lawyer/advocate quickly to find out what rights you have.

Hi there.  I am a special education teacher in northern CA (Sonoma County.)  I have the "old credential" which is called Severely Handicapped (SH).  In order to get an SH credential, I did need a Multiple Subject Credential.  But the credential requirements have changed in recent years, and there are several ways to get a Special Ed credential now.  (Now they are called Mild/Moderate, Moderate/Severe, etc. etc.)  Check out this address for the California Teacher Credentials info for special ed:\n\nwww.ctc.ca.gov\n\nOn the home page, click on "Click here to find out how to become a teacher."  On the next page, click on "I want to teach special education students."\n\nI have had a number of interns and student teachers in the last several years, and only one of them had an Multiple Subject credential.   A Multiple Subject credential does authorize you to "teach all subjects in a self-contained class, and as a self-contained classroom teacher, to team teach or regroup students across classrooms, in grades twelve and below..."  Since most Special Day Classes are self-contained, that's perhaps where the CSU reasoning is coming from.  However, to get a permanent job in special ed, you would need a specialist credential.   And that no longer necessarily requires a Multiple Subject.\n\nIn the SF North Bay area, I know of 2 universities that have good reputations for Special Ed credentialing programs, and I am sure there are more.  I have had some personal experience with special ed credentials students from Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park (Sonoma County) and Dominican University (Marin County.)  \n\nThe SF area is beautiful - expensive housing, but lots to see and do.  And I love the climate.  I got my first special ed credentials in Pennsylvania and in West Virginia, but I got burned out on the harsh winters.  I've been here for nearly 30 years, and it's home to me now.  And I LOVE my job!\n\nAnyway, check out the CTC website and go from there.  Good luck!

If your child is school aged your first conversation may be with his or her teacher. If the teacher does not feel an evaluation is necessary then you may request one via an IEE (Independent Educational Eval). There are strict federal and state time guide/deadline when it comes to evals and special ed. Make sure you document everything. You may chose to have the Eval done yourself and often insurance will cover it. if you do this then you own the Eval not the school system and you may share it with them or not. however, sharing the info usually benefits the child. you could ask your doctor for a referral or recommendation or call your insurance company. The initial pre-referral and Eval process can be time consuming and is a big learning experience for the parent. The most important thing you can do is to remember that you are your child's best advocate and to advocate well you must educate yourself. Here are some very helpful websites for you: www.wrightslaw.com; www.schwablearning.org; http://www.fcsn.org/index.html (federation for children with special needs); http://www.ldonline.com/. I hope these are helpful. You are not alone and the special needs community is very helpful and supportive. Best of luck.

Students are people. Short, inexperienced people, but people nonetheless. Regardless of disability, ethnicicty, family income, etc. all people have the right to an education that prepares them to become functioning adults (Free Appropriate Education/FAPE, and Zero Reject).\n\nSpecial Education is the way that our education system recognizes that some people learn differently than others, and so differently that they need different programming than the "average" learner. Therefore the variety of research-based instructional approaches accessed by highly trained special education teachers and therapists. Therefore the Individualized Educational Plan/Program (IEP).\n\nThis is all about the difference between "equal" and "equitable." Equal access to the general education program does not allow for differences in learning styles and needs. Equitable access involves creating programming and environments that help the person use their learning strengths to learn as much as they potentially can (just like the general education environment does for "average" people). Therefore Least Restrictive Environment and the continuum of services.\n\nStudents are people. Therefore, when they walk into my classroom, I treat them like people... We search for their strengths, their goals, their dreams, and the only language forbidden in my room (besides cursing) are the phrases "That's easy" when looking at someone else's work (don't judge someone else's needs, but focus on your own), and "I Can't" (you need more time, more explanation, etc... but You Can!).

Go to the website for ODJFS (Ohio Department of Job and Family Services). They will either have information there for you or you can download the rules for daycare providers and the first section of those rules (if I'm remembering correctly) will tell you what steps to take and what requirements you have to meet. Good luck!
