The school has a speech therapist.  My daughter has a language disability and takes speech therapy at school.  It is free of charge and they are trained professionals that can help you.  The school must test and provide this to you under the "no child left behind act".  Don't let this bother you.  No 2 people are the same.  We all talk different, look different and learn different.  The people that treat you as if you are of lower intelligence ..well lets just say that is there disability.  Stand up for yourself and show them what you know when they try to give you extra help.  Show them you are not afraid and how smart you are.

Don't repeat your questions.\n\nUnless you know Japanese and the reason you only had ten years of formal school is because you're so intelligent you graduated earlier, I highly doubt they would even consider having you. \n\nAfter all, why on earth would they want to waste time on a person who couldn't even finish proper school in their own country?

Diagnosing Special Needs and Qualifying for Special Education\n\nTo qualify as a child with a disability, students must be age 3 to 21, according to IDEA. Students must be evaluated according to IDEA regulations, have characteristics of one or more of the categorical impairments covered by the statute, and have a need for special education or related services as a result of the impairment(s).  Not every possible disability is covered by IDEA.  Others may be covered by the ADA (American Disability Act, 1990) or Section 504.  States may also elect to qualify individuals under state law for services under other criteria, such as younger and older ages.  For example, according to Michigan Law, the term "child with a disability" means a child having:\n• Cognitive and emotional impairment\n• Hearing impairment, including deafness\n• Visual impairment, including blindness\n• Physical or other health impairment\n• Speech or language impairment\n• Early childhood developmental delay\n• Specific learning disability\n• Severe multiple impairment\n• Autism\n• Traumatic brain injury \n\nDepending on the type of disability, testing for qualification of services may be done by a medical doctor, private psychologist, or a school psychologist.  Testing done by a school psychologist is a free school service.  However, parents may prefer to hire their own professionals.  Moreover, some disabilities require diagnosis by a medical doctor.  Note also that a classification of “specific learning disability” may also require academic assessments in conjunction with IQ tests or similar tests.  Concerned parents, teachers, or doctors (medical or psychological) may refer an individual for testing.\n\nFor adult college students, to qualify for special services, a student must have had a comprehensive, standardized evaluation by a professional who is specially trained in assessing learning disability and differentiating it from other causes for learning problems. Typically this would be an educational psychologist or school psychologist.  Some colleges have educational diagnostic centers on campus to provide this service. Others require the student to bring recent diagnostic test with them.  For other disabilities, a statement from a medical doctor is adequate.

My grown son is mentally disabled and he lives in the Bradenton/Sarasota area of Florida. The schools went out of their way to get him an education, the bus system goes everywhere, there are buses that accomodate wheelchairs too. He gets SSI disability and has a part time job as a dishwasher.

You could also ask at your local school.   Although they are children not adults, they have to deal with the same problems.   My local school has a SENCO who deals with children with disabilities.  There should be one at your local primary or senior school who may be able to give you some more pointers - after all, they must go to outside agencies for help at times!\n\nOf course, you could also try organisations set up to help people with disabilities and other problems\n\nGood luck with your assignment.\n\nOh, and if you find any of the answers useful, please do not forget to include Yahoo! in your sources!!!!   If nothing else, it shows initiative!

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.

netboy12121, very well put from the students perspective. Very seldom do we see this.  I do work with special needs and individuals with disabilities, and we do try to impliment a normal or close to normal class room atmospher. Educators from k-12 up into the college levels are basically lazy when they have to work with people with special needs.  But guess what? its the law, they must accomidate all students.\n  Check wth your local scholl system and find out who is incharge of their special needs program.  Tell them you want an IEP (individual education program) for your child. By law they must provide this service for you.  If you are unable to find a school or services the meet your needs, contact your local Health and Human Social Service Department. They'll give you all types of information and contacts.  You may also check into your states local DVR (Department of vocational Rehabilitaion) service. Unfortunately there is usally a waiting list for their services, but get on it.  Hope I was able to help.

Contact the dept of Human Services in your county and register with disability services..they may be able to help you with tuition and books, etc. However, if the school is not acccreditted..meaning they don't take fin. aid, they may not help. If they take fin aid..apply for it. Some schools have scholarships based on your degree and GPA.
