Extractions: Think about your interests, both in school and out of school what do you like, what don't you like? Think about what you've done in high school what do your high school experiences mean to you? Do you want your college experience to be the same, or different? How? In looking at colleges, you need to know as much as possible about who you are, and how you look at the world this is a very important area. The next few questions can help shape your search as well. If you've given any thought to what you'd like to study in college, or what part of the country (or the world) you'd like to study in, that can be helpful as well also, think about if you'd like to be in a big city, a small city, or nowhere near a city (or maybe that doesn't matter). To some people, the size of the college is important does that matter to you? In terms of scholarships and financial aid, Finaid.org has a great Web page devoted to financial aid for students with physical and learning disabilities. This page includes a list of publications you can get and other sources, including the HEATH Resource Center's publication "Financial Aid for Students with Disabilities"; to get that publication, call HEATH at 800.544.3284 (this number is voice/TTY enabled). Peterson's has a book called Scholarships, Grants, and Prizes that has a fairly good list on scholarships for students with disabilities (Nike and Nordstrom's each sponsor scholarships, for example). The book "Cash for College" recommends that you check with the rehabilitation agency in your state to find out about the resources that would be available from your state to support your efforts to go to college.
Special Education Inclusion Information and resources concerning inclusion.Category Reference Education special Education Inclusion James Kauffman of the University of virginia views inclusion in selfconcept of non-disabledstudents (Peck et between the regular and special education systems http://www.weac.org/resource/june96/speced.htm
Extractions: This article was updated November 5, 2001 Inclusion remains a controversial concept in education because it relates to educational and social values, as well as to our sense of individual worth. Any discussion about inclusion should address several important questions: There are advocates on both sides of the issue. James Kauffman of the University of Virginia views inclusion as a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved. Furthermore, he argues that trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory as trying to force all students into the mold of a special education class or residential institution. At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.

Lexington Institute who have been identified as disabled is that the pendulum to underdiagnosing specialneeds, Dr. Greene Gretchen LeFever of the Eastern virginia Medical School http://www.lexingtoninstitute.org/education/antidote.htm
Extractions: By Robert Holland Vouchers are the education establishments worst nightmare. But for parents not knowing where to turn for help for their special-needs children, they can be a dream come true. And for children whove been inappropriately labeled, perhaps even put on psychiatric drugs like Ritalin, and shunted to a special program with no exit in sight, vouchers may offer a ladder out of the abyss. The profound change behind such hope is the McKay Scholarship, which has become perhaps the hottest new idea in education policy-making since Florida pioneered it in 2000. This is a voucher, a government-backed coupon that consumers can redeem to purchase essential services. What Florida said to parents of 350,000 students who have been identified as disabled is that if you are dissatisfied with your assigned public school for any reason, you can take a McKay voucher equal to the cost of keeping your child in the public school or the cost of private-school tuition whichever is less and use it to send your child to whatever school (private, public, parochial) you deem best for your child. Thousands are snapping up McKays and Florida papers are full of testimonials about positive turn-arounds for children now receiving individualized attention (and not just on paper) in their new schools. But national policy-makers, particularly those focused on reauthorizing the massive Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), are looking at another benefit the McKays figure to have.
