Robert is 25 years old and has Down syndrome. EULOGY FOR GREAT PIONEER IN AWAKENING THE WORLD TO THE POTENTIAL OF PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME. I should have done this for others this past quarter of century and at least I will name another father of a son with Down syndrome, who dedicated much of his life to unraveling the medical and physiological facts relating to the condition: that is the late Albert Rosanova, M.D. The late Hans Zellweger, M.D. assisted me with my first pages and continued to provide articles and advice until he died. Another, with his doctorate (but not medical) was our former associate editor Ted Tjossem. Another was former Senator and great Japanese American warrior against social indifference, Sam Hawakaya. Although all of the above were great men, none surpassed Charles Kingsley in doing God's (and that of a whole lot of humans) work while on earth. The following biographical sketch was furnished by his widow, Emily Perl Kingsley , but I want to state that Charles was a past Board member of the NDSC, and that any of the leaders of the Congress this past 25 years, will attest to his humanity, conscientiousness and capability. Also, I suspect they would agree that Jason Kingsley has been and likely will continue to be a model for people throughout the world with DS or otherwise concerned with the condition. The men named above all left the world better than the world they lived in.

Special Ed / Guidance Curriculum Article C U R R I C U L U M A R T I C L E Making It Work When the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandated that children with disabilities be educated with children who do not have disabilities, education in the United States changed. Education World writer Wesley Sharpe, Ed.D., looks at the characteristics of effective inclusion. Included: Answers to such questions as "How does inclusion benefit kids who have disabilities?" "A generation ago, few classrooms in the United States included students with disabilities. As late as the middle of the 1970s, an estimated 1 million kids with disabilities didn't even attend school," reported a May 1999 NEAToday Online cover story, Inclusion Confusion . For disabled children who did attend school, special education usually meant placement in a special class or a special school.

Extractions: Forum v17 n6, Fall 1994 The Johnson-O'Malley (JOM) Act of April 16, 1934, was a basic federal aid program specifically designed to provide funds to local off-reservation communities and other Indian-owned, tax exempt land areas where Indian tribal life was largely broken up and Indians were mixed with the general population. Funds were primarily earmarked for education but could be used for other purposes such as education, medical attention, agricultural assistance, and social welfare. In 1958, when P.L. 81-874 was amended to include assistance for educating Indian children, the JOM program became a supplemental aid program. Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Indian Education Programs(BIA-OIEP) The BIA-OIEP Branch of Elementary and Secondary Education administers the JOM program through contracts with tribes, tribal organizations, school districts, and state education agencies (SEAs). Indian students from age 3 through twelfth grade, except those enrolled in BIA or sectarian schools, are eligible for benefits under the JOM contract if they are 1/4 or more Indian blood. In FY 94, the BIA funded 324 JOM contracts in 32 states, including Alaska, and serving 259,037 students nationwide. In FY 94, the Navajo Nation JOM program provided supplemental funding to meet the unique and special education needs of 51,108 eligible Indian students in preschool and grades K-12 in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. This was pursuant to P.L. 93-638 Prime Contract which the Navajo Nation subcontracts with 26 public school districts, five Indian corporations, and one tribal organization (Head Start).
Extractions: Janie Bowman: Interview "Gifts of Homeschooling" "Ten Steps to Special Needs Homeschooling" Am I homeschooling already? If you are a parent of a child with special needs and considering homeschooling, you undoubtedly have many questions and concerns. You’re not alone, but you probably know more about homeschooling than you realize. For example, you’ve spent the first five years of your child’s life as his most important "teacher." In addition, if your child has been in public school, you’ve probably spent many evenings and weekends helping your child do homework. Guess what? You’ve been homeschooling. (see "Afterschooling" My husband, Clint, and I have "been there—done that," and now we’re on our tenth year of homeschooling. Our sons Cj (22) and Shane (15) have been diagnosed with attention differences, and had we left them in public school, it is my opinion they would have inherited more labels as well. Has homeschooling been hard?

Click on Judicial Branch and then Indiana Court of Appeals. 2.) ******** OHIO REVAMPS STATE TESTS: ALIGNS WITH STANDARDS (Goal Three: Student Achievement and Citizenship) A new Ohio state law overhauls the state's proficiency tests by aligning them with academic standards (Rubin, EDUCATION DAILY, 6/15). The law also limits the tests' use in determining whether students will be promoted to the next grade or earn a high school diploma. The new law is based on recommendations developed by Governor Bob Taft's Commission for Student Success. Last year, the Commission reported that the Ohio tests were "rushed into place before the academic standards they were meant to measure had taken hold," reports the paper.
