How the costs of special education grew
By CAROLYN MARTIN for The Keene Sentinel
Trying to understand why special education costs so much is a bit like peeling an artichoke.
Layer after layer of reasons offer glimpses at the cause. Find one factor, and you're led to another. Peel away another layer, and discover a different expense.
It's clear that more services are being provided to special-needs students and their families than once was the case, ultimately driving up taxpayers' bills. And that process becomes more complicated as technology and understanding of disabilities advanc e.

Regarding jobs for special ed students: a challenge
By CAROLYN MARTIN for The Keene Sentinel
Is there life after high school for students with disabilities?
Researchers at the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire went looking for answers to that question, and found both good news and bad.
"The good news is New Hampshire's robust economy creates part-time employment. The bad news is that doesn't always transition into a full-time job," says Stephen Lichtenstein, who conducted the study.

THE EQUITY GROUP The Equity Group is a small but growing group of disabled people, parents of disabled children and other interested supporters. We have got together because we have a shared commitment to inclusive education.
The aims of the group are:
To establish the legal right of children with special educational needs to mainstream education with appropriate adjustment and support.
To promote entitlement to inclusive education as a civil rights issue.
To gather and spread information about good practice in inclusive education, both in Scotland and internationally.
To help schools, parents, children and communities to learn together how to achieve and sustain inclusive schools for all.
WHY INCLUSION MATTERS
A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE
The Equity Group believes that inclusive education is a matter of principle. We think that disabled children should have the same choices in education as non-disabled children. This is not the case for thousands of children in Scotland.
INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS ARE BETTER SCHOOLS
We believe that schools which are able to include disabled children are also better at including all children. All children are different, and all children should be able to expect that their school values them as an individuals and builds on their strengths.

MASSACHUSETTS SPECIAL EDUCATION:
FACT VS. FICTION
Anecdotes and stories are often cited to support the need to amend Chapter 766 in ways that would be drastic and devastating for children. However, the facts clearly demonstrate that these anecdotes present a distorted view inconsistent with reality. FICTION: Parents and advocates are unreasonable and consistently oppose efforts to reform Chapter 766. FACT: Parents and advocates actively participated with 15 statewide organizations to develop a comprehensive and far-reaching Special Education Reform Proposal. This proposal, which represents major concessions by parents, addresses mechanisms to tighten eligibility, reduce costs for independent evaluations, revise discipline standards for children with disabilities, and increase the state’s share of special education costs. Parents and advocates developed this Reform Proposal in conjunction with state organizations representing superintendents, school committees, principals, special education directors, private schools, collaboratives, and teachers unions. FICTION: Special education is out of control —the numbers and cost are skyrocketing and no relief is in sight.

WELCOME
You have reached the home page of The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust. Our grant making activity is restricted to the States of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. This Trust is situated in the State of New Hampshire. HISTORY Agnes M. Lindsay was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts on August 11, 1870 (Agnes Morton Snow). She was married to Edwin P. Lindsay, who predeceased her in May 1925. They owned a "farm" in Bridgewater, New Hampshire at The Uplands on Whittemore Point at Newfound Lake for many years. Mrs. Lindsay passed away on February 16, 1937. As stated in her Obituary: " Her life was marked by a quiet generosity, seldom equaled. Through others she gave generously to every community project; and many individual needs. Perhaps no better tribute could be paid to her than the fact that those in her employ remained her faithful and interested personal friends." As stipulated in her Will, a Trust was established. Agnes M. Lindsay left a great legacy . . . . . . . . . . .
