check out your school districts website or your schools website.  If not, you could call your local board of education.

The biggest problem is funding. School districts are requires by law to provide a Free and Appropriate Education for all children, but the money to make the staffing, training, and materials happen either isn't budgeted by the federal/state governments, and/or it gets channeled into other programs. While the districts get more money for children with special needs, it all goes into the general fund....\n\nSchools, and the professionals who are employees of the district, who are present at IEP meetings, are under pressure to do what they can for a student while "making it work" without spending extra money or setting anything up requiring extra staffing, materials, etc. \n\nIf you want to be the biggest help possible for children with disabilities, there is a shortage of parent advocates and lawyers in certain areas of the country. Parent advocacy is most important...not only being a confident and educated voice for the student and parent, seeking a collaborative effort in setting up a program that is workable and will trully be effective for the child, but also involved in parent education about the law, programs, research, etc. Also, you could run for office and push for both more funding, and closer auditing/accountability for how funds earmarked for special education is spent. More staff is needed to provide lower student-teacher ratios, better training is needed especially for regular ed teachers in alternative instructional methods, and a greater variety of curriculum needs to be available to be flexible and responsive to different student learning styles.

Could you state that question in better way? every school of OR has its own way to formulte problems, so you should ask in a general language. Thanks again.

In the Philippines, all I can do is offer you this website as a place to start:\n\nhttp://www1.worldbank.org/devoutreach/july05/textonly.asp?id=318\n\nIn the United States, special education is struggling between trying to maximize what is best for each individual student, with funding concerns and a lack of understanding from people not working directly with special needs students.\n\nhttp://www.wrightslaw.com/\n\n\nElsewhere, I know Britain failed to use inclusion successfully because the teachers weren't trained correctly.\n\nhttp://www.bcodp.org.uk/\n\nOther than that, I don't know.

None of the above. The problem that confronts American Education is the lack of people who are running our Education system at the top level.  I am an educator but refuse to go into the school system of today because of the hyprocracy that it represents. Our American Education system has started slipping about 30 years ago and is, maybe to your surprise, behind that of China, India and elsewhere. American schools have gotten away from the basics of the three Rs.
