Do bias or inappropriate practice play a role in the placement of culturally and linguistically diverse students in special education? Is the representation of low-income students in special education programs larger than their representation in the school population at your child’s school? If the answers to these questions are yes, it is possible your child’s school may be facing a problem that is called “overrepresentation” in its special education programs. This paper is one of... - 1/1/07 - Center for Implementing Technology in Education,
This Info Brief summarizes Thompson and Sproule's (2000) "Calculator Decision-Making Flow Chart" and uses the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to clarify how calculator usage helps students with learning disabilities understand math concepts. - 1/1/07 - Technical Assistance ALLIANCE for Parent Centers,
Evaluation is a process that helps parents and schools determine whether a child has a disability. Under IDEA a “child with a disability” is one who qualifies for special education and related services. A child cannot receive special education without an evaluation. Information, resources, and internet communities for communication are combined here for anyone involved with people who deal with disabilities. The website is designed as a mini-village, including a school secction where there are topics devoted just for kids. Within education, the site links up to sources with information about how to communicate with schools, be an advocate for students, inclusive education resources, and disability awareness education materials. - 1/1/07 - Technical Assistance ALLIANCE for Parent Centers,
IDEA is the nation’s special education law. Under IDEA if a child is found to be a “child with a disability,” he or she is eligible for special education and related services. If your child has a disability, under IDEA, a team of people will gather to talk about what special instruction and services your child needs. This team includes you, the parent. The team reviews the information available about your child. This includes such information as classroom work, reports from teachers... - National Secondary Transition Technical Asssistance Center,
This data collection tool allows states to record individual student IEP data for Indicator 13. The tool is web based and allows data to be stored in a standard Excel spreadsheet. The tool enables schools, districts, or states to monitor their I-13 passing rates relative to key student features including ethnicity, disability category, district or school, gender, and level of service. - 1/1/06 - Phil Ferguson
Teachers and administrators are all familiar with the growing movement toward the inclusion of children with disabilities into general education classrooms. Discussions about how to do this, with which children, at what ages, and with what supports and structural reforms are happening in urban school districts across the country. As a result, there is an increasing amount of information and research about the “how and why” of inclusion. Indeed, some of that information is available from... - 1/1/09 - National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities,
Intellectual disability is a term used when a person has certain limitations in mental functioning and in skills such as communicating, taking care of him or herself, and social skills. These limitations will cause a child to learn and develop more slowly than a typical child. Children with intellectual disabilities (sometimes called cognitive disabilities or mental retardation) may take longer to learn to speak, walk, and take care of their personal needs such as dressing or eating. They... - 1/1/01 - National Institute for Urban School Improvement,
The ethnic overrepresentation of students in special education programs in this country has been a recognized problem for more than 30 years. Simply defined, overrepresentation, or the disproportionate placement of students of a given
ethnic group in special education programs, means that the percentage of students from that group in such programs is disproportionally greater than their percentage in the school population as a whole.1 Currently, African Americans tend to be significantly... - 1/1/09 - National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities,
“Other Health Impairment” is one of the 14 categories of disability listed in our nation’s special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Under IDEA, a child who has an “other health impairment” is very likely to be eligible for special services to help the child address his or her educational, developmental, and functional needs resulting from the disability. - 1/1/07 - National Research Center on Learning Disabilities,
RTI is considered as yielding more ecologically or socially accurate information. Another benefit is that the information about a child’s response should be helpful in designating the features of instruction, curriculum, goals, and placement considerations that are beneficial regardless of the student’s disability determination. When RTI is incorporated into the SLD determination process, instructional staff should have a clearer framework for evaluating the child’s performance and... - The Family Center on Technology and Disability,

Federal legislation requires that all students, including students with disabilities, be included in state accountability systems. Many students can take the regular assessment with or without accommodations, but some students with disabilities need alternate ways to access assessments. A few students take alternate assessments based on alternate achievement standards (AA-AAS). In April 2007, No Child Left Behind (NCLB) regulations on modified academic achievement standards were finalized... - 1/1/06 - Technical Assistance ALLIANCE for Parent Centers,
The chart below offers an overview of the special education process. It is not designed to show all steps or the specific details. It shows what happens from the time a child is referred for evaluation and is identified as having a disability, through the development of an individualized education program (IEP). The process begins when someone (school staff, parents, etc.) makes a referral for an initial evaluation. An explanation of each numbered area follows the chart. - 1/1/07 - The Access Center,
