...Special education is the education of students with special needs in a way that addresses the students' individual differences and needs. Ideally, this process involves the individually planned and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, accessible settings, and other interventions designed to help learners with special needs achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success in school and community than would be available if the student were only given access to a typical classroom education.

what kind of behavior modification does she use? how does she deal with several grade/ability levels in one room? do they do varying exceptionalities? do they do inclusion? how does she feel about that? how much interaction with "normal" peers is allowed? what kind of paperwork is required by the school system? by the state? are the parents involved? how does she get them involved? how cooperative is administration? how supportive are they? |

What is a Special Education I am a California Teacher and
just received my credential
for a move I am planning in
CO, which came back as a CO
Special Education Generalist.
I am assuming that this would
allow me to teach a broad
spectrum of students with
special needs. Any CO teachers
out there that can fill me in
on this?

The sites below are for out of state teachers with questions about becoming certified in Colorado.I have been a special ed teacher in Colorado for more than 30 years. Colorado has changed its classification program more than once. In general, the specialist allows you more latitude in whom you can teach. It used to be that we had one endorsement for learning disabled, another for students with limited intelligence, another for emotionally disturbed , another for students with visual or hearing impairments, etc. Now, I could have any or all of these kids on my caseload. Various school districts may have more stringent requirements. Choose an area in Colorado and check out the local school districts. Hope this helps. By the way, I am retiring next year , so there will be at least one special ed opening , lol. |

How to prevent a child from A child in the state of
Missouri was diagnosed with
epilepsy several months ago,
due to false information
provided by one of the
parents. A second opinion and
new tests revealed no seizure
activity. However, the parent
who provided the false
information is now pursuing
special education for this
child, who won't qualify
without a diagnosis.
Unfortunately, the educators
didn't know about the second
set of tests, and are ready to
pursue the special education
route. They will not delay the
deadline for a decision,
stating "the plan is already
in place." They also state
that only one parent needs to
sign the consent to enroll the
child, which the parent
providing false information is
ready to do. What, if
anything, can be done to
prevent this child from being
enrolled in special education?
If nothing, is there any
recourse?

I get the feeling you are a relative or the other parent, so if this is a personal case, I understand why you are concerned. Unfortunately, I am not sure about legal recourse or what legal options you may have, it is an unusual situation. I am sure it probably depends on your relation to the child and may be influenced by state laws. However, learning a bit more about special education law will probably help you out. Look for information online about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504. One thing that may make you feel better is to understand that under IDEA/Section 504, a child with epilepsy must be provided with provisions to help him or her succeed in school, in the "least restrictive environment." Even for most children that actually have epilepsy, this will usually not consist of a self contained classroom, but may include some extra help or attention. Obviously if this child has been functioning fine in normal classrooms up to this point, the school will not pull him/her out of regular classes just because of this false diagnosis. My guess would be that most schools would just include extra support in case he or she needs it. Thus, just because a child is "in special education" or has an IEP, it does not mean that the child will be isolated or pulled from regular classes. The only time that any child is not mainstreamed is when he or she cannot learn in a regular classroom. Thus, if this child truly has no disability, it would be unlikely (and against IDEA, as well as unethical) for the school to place the child in a separate classroom, even with a false diagnosis. So, if this is your fear, it seems very unlikely. Either way, if you are the other parent or have some rights to this child, it may be beneficial to try and attend the IEP meeting so you can have some input and better understand what the plan is.
