Book excerpt: The 35th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act," 2013 describes the nation's progress in (1) providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for all children with disabilities, (2) ensuring that the rights of children with disabilities and their parents are protected, (3) assisting states and localities in providing for the education of all children with disabilities, and (4) assessing the effectiveness of efforts to educate children with disabilities. The report focuses on the children and students with disabilities being served under IDEA, Part C or B, nationally and at the state level. In particular, Part C of IDEA provides funds to states to assist them in developing and implementing statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary interagency systems to make early intervention services available to all children from birth through age 2 with disabilities and their families, whereas Part B of IDEA provides funds to states to assist them in providing FAPE to children ages 3 through 21 with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services. Throughout this report, infants and toddlers served under IDEA, Part C, children served under IDEA, Part B, and students served under IDEA, Part B, refer to individuals with disabilities who receive services under IDEA, Part C or Part B. "Special education services," which is referenced throughout this report, is a term that is synonymous with services provided under IDEA, Part B. Similarly, "early intervention services" is a term used synonymously with services provided under IDEA, Part C. This "35th Annual Report to Congress," 2013 follows the "34th Annual Report to Congress," 2012 in sequence and format, and it continues to focus on IDEA results and accountability. Similar to the "34th Annual Report," 2012, the 35th Annual Report, 2013 contains six major sections that address the five annual report requirements contained in section 664(d) of IDEA. The sections are: (1) a summary and analysis of IDEA section 618 data at the national level; (2) a summary and analysis of IDEA section 618 data at the state level; (3) a summary and analysis of the U.S. Department of Education's (Department's) findings and determinations regarding the extent to which states are meeting the requirements of IDEA, Parts B and C; (4) a summary of special education research conducted under Part E of the "Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002"; (5) a summary of national special education studies and evaluations conducted under sections 664(a) and (c) of IDEA; and (6) a summary of the extent and progress of the assessment of national activities, which focus on determining the effectiveness of IDEA and improving its implementation. The content of this report differs from that of the 34th Annual Report, 2012 in that it does not include an exhibit in Section II that presents data about exits from Part B for states that used and states that did not use exit exams for students served under IDEA, Part B. The source of information that had been used to classify the states regarding the use of exit exams did not include information about the time period addressed in this report, and no alternative source was identified. Appendices include: (1) Infants, Toddlers, Children, and Students Served Under "IDEA," by Age Group and State; (2) Developmental Delay Data for Children Ages 3 Through 5 and Students Ages 6 Through 9 Served Under "IDEA," Part B; and (3) Differences in State Reporting of "IDEA," Part B, Disabilities.

Book excerpt: This is the 36th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act," 2014. Section 664(d) of the "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" ("IDEA") (P.L. 108-446), as reauthorized in 2004, requires that the Department of Education report annually on the progress made toward the provision of a free appropriate public education to all children with disabilities and the provision of early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities. The 36th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act," 2014" describes our nation's progress in: (1) providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for all children with disabilities and early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families; (2) ensuring that the rights of these children with disabilities and their parents are protected; (3) assisting states and localities in providing for the education of all children with disabilities; and (4) assessing the effectiveness of efforts to educate children with disabilities. The report focuses on the children and students with disabilities being served under "IDEA," Part C or B, nationally and at the state level. In particular, Part C of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in developing and implementing statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary interagency systems to make early intervention services available to all children from birth through age 2 with disabilities and their families, whereas Part B of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in providing FAPE to children ages 3 through 21 with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services. Throughout this report, infants and toddlers served under "IDEA," Part C, children served under "IDEA," Part B, and students served under "IDEA" Part B, refer to individuals with disabilities who receive services under "IDEA," Part C or Part B. "Special education services," which is referenced throughout this report, is a term that is synonymous with services provided under "IDEA," Part B. Similarly, "early intervention services" is a term used synonymously with services provided under "IDEA," Part C. This report contains six major sections that address the five annual report requirements contained in section 664(d) of "IDEA."

The content of this report differs from that of the "35th Annual Report to Congress, 2013" in the following ways: (1) it presents some data concerning "IDEA," Part B "maintenance of effort (MOE) reduction" and coordinated early intervening services (CEIS); and (2) data for the three freely associated states (the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands) are considered along with those for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands) when the entirety of the United States is being represented. The following are appended: (1) Infants, Toddlers, Children, and Students Served Under "IDEA," by Age Group and State; (2) "Developmental Delay" Data for Children Ages 3 Through 5 and Students Ages 6 Through 9 Served Under "IDEA," Part B; (3) Differences in State Reporting of "IDEA," Part B, Disabilities; and (4) "IDEA" Part B Maintenance of Effort Reduction and Coordinated Early Intervening Services.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its enactment, the "Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975," Public Law (P.L.) 94-142, requires the secretary of the U.S. Department of Education (secretary) [and predecessor, the commissioner of education at the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare] to transmit to Congress an annual report to inform Congress and the public of the progress being made in implementing the act. The annual reports to Congress reflect a history of persistent commitment and effort to expand educational opportunities for children with disabilities. In December 2004, Congress reauthorized the "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" ("IDEA") (P.L. 108-446), which was signed into law in the same month. The provisions of "IDEA" became effective on July 1, 2005, with the exception of some of the elements pertaining to the definition of a "highly qualified teacher" that took effect upon the signing of the act. With reauthorization of "IDEA," the nation reaffirmed its commitment to improving the early intervention and educational results and functional outcomes for infants, toddlers, children, and youths with disabilities (collectively this group may be referred to in this report as children with disabilities). The "37th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the 'Individuals with Disabilities Education Act,' 2015" describes our nation's progress in: (1) providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for all children with disabilities and early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families; (2) ensuring that the rights of these children with disabilities and their parents are protected, (3) assisting states and localities in providing for the education of all children with disabilities; and (4) assessing the effectiveness of efforts to educate children with disabilities. The report focuses on the children and students with disabilities being served under "IDEA," Part C or B, nationally and at the state level. In particular, Part C of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in developing and implementing statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary interagency systems to make early intervention services available to all children from birth through age 2 with disabilities and their families, whereas Part B of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in providing FAPE to children ages 3 through 21 with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services. Throughout this report, infants and toddlers served under "IDEA," Part C, children served under "IDEA," Part B, and students served under "IDEA," Part B, refer to individuals with disabilities who receive services under "IDEA," Part C or Part B. "Special education services," which is referenced throughout this report, is a term that is synonymous with services provided under "IDEA," Part B. Similarly, "early intervention services" is a term used synonymously with services provided under "IDEA," Part C. This "37th Annual Report to Congress, 2015" follows the "36th Annual Report to Congress, 2014" in sequence and format, and it continues to focus on "IDEA" results and accountability. Similar to the "36th Annual Report to Congress, 2014", the "37th Annual Report to Congress, 2015" contains six major sections that address the five annual report requirements contained in section 664(d) of "IDEA." The sections are: (1) a summary and analysis of "IDEA" section 618 data at the national level; (2) a summary and analysis of "IDEA" section 618 data at the state level; (3) a summary and analysis of the U.S. Department of Education's (Department's) findings and determinations regarding the extent to which states are meeting the requirements of "IDEA," Parts B and C; (4) a summary of special education research conducted under Part E of the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002; (5) a summary of national special education studies and evaluations conducted under sections 664(a) and (c) of "IDEA"; and (6) a summary of the extent and progress of the assessment of national activities, which focus on determining the effectiveness of "IDEA" and improving its implementation. The content of this report differs from that of the "36th Annual Report to Congress, 2014" in the following ways: (1) the most recent data presented in this report represent the reporting periods associated with fall 2013 or school year 2012-13; (2) where data are presented for a 10-year period, the oldest data are associated with fall 2004; (3) this report directs the reader to http://www2.ed.gov/about/reports/annual/osep/index.html for a more complete and detailed description of the manner in which states differed in the reporting of data; and (4) this report includes an exhibit that presents the risk ratios for students ages 6 through 21 served under "IDEA," Part B, within racial/ethnic groups by disability category. Unlike the "36th Annual Report to Congress, 2014," this report does not include an appendix that identifies the states that reported children and students ages 3 through 21 with multiple disabilities in different disability categories in the most recent data collections regarding child count and educational environments, exiting, and discipline. The following are appended: (1) Infants, Toddlers, Children, and Students Served Under "IDEA," by Age Group and State; (2) "Developmental Delay" Data for Children Ages 3 Through 5 and Students Ages 6 Through 9 Served Under "IDEA," Part B; and (3) "IDEA," Part B Maintenance of Effort Reduction and Coordinated Early Intervening Services.

Download or read book The Politics of Autism written by John J. Pitney and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book devoted exclusively to the contentious politics of autism, noted political scientist and public policy expert John J. Pitney, Jr., explains how autism has evolved into a heated political issue disputed by scientists, educators, social workers, and families. Nearly everything about autism is subject to debate and struggle, including its measurement and definition. Organizational attempts to deal with autism have resulted in not a single “autism policy,” but a vast array of policies at the federal, state, and local levels, which often leave people with autism and their families frustrated and confused. Americans with autism are citizens, friends, coworkers, sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers. No longer simply the objects of public policy, they are active participants in current policy debates. Pitney’s fascinating look at how public policy is made and implemented offers networks of concerned parents, educators, and researchers a compass to navigate the current systems and hope for a path towards more regularized and effective policies for America’s autism community.

The report focuses on the children and students with disabilities being served under "IDEA," Part C or B, nationally and at the state level. In particular, Part C of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in developing and implementing statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary interagency systems to make early intervention services available to all children from birth through age 2 with disabilities and their families, whereas Part B of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in providing FAPE to children ages 3 through 21 with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services.

Download or read book The Child as Musician written by Gary E. McPherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of The Child as Musician: A Handbook of Musical Development celebrates the richness and diversity of the many different ways in which children can engage in and interact with music. It presents theory - both cutting edge and classic - in an accessible way for readers by surveying research concerned with the development and acquisition of musical skills. The focus is on musical development from conception to late adolescences, although the bulk of the coverage concentrates on the period when children are able to begin formal music instruction (from around age 3) until the final year of formal schooling (around age 18). There are many conceptions of how musical development might take place, just as there are for other disciplines and areas of human potential. Consequently, the publication highlights the diversity in current literature dealing with how we think about and conceptualise children's musical development. Each of the authors has searched for a better and more effective way to explain in their own words and according to their own perspective, the remarkable ways in which children engage with music. In the field of educational psychology there are a number of publications that survey the issues surrounding child and adolescent development. Some of the more innovative present research and theories, and their educational implications, in a style that stresses the fundamental interplay among the biological, environmental, social and cultural influences at each stage of a child's development. Until now, no similar overview has existed for child and adolescent development in the field of music. The Child as Musician addresses this imbalance, and is essential for those in the fields of child development, music education, and music cognition.

Download or read book A Teacher s Guide to Special Education written by David F. Bateman and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the prevalence of students with disabilities in the general education classroom, few teachers receive training on how to meet these students’ needs or how to navigate the legally mandated processes enumerated in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). What is their role? What are their responsibilities? What are the roles and rights of parents? And what must all teachers do to ensure that students with disabilities and other special needs receive the quality education they’re entitled to? In this practical reference, David F. Bateman—bestselling author of A Principal’s Guide to Special Education—and special education administrator Jenifer L. Cline clarify what general education teachers need to know about special education law and processes and provide a guide to instructional best practices for the inclusive classroom. Topics covered include * The pre-referral, referral, and evaluation processes * Individualized education programs (IEPs) and the parties involved * Accommodations for students who do not quality for special education, including those covered by Section 504 * Transition from preK to K–12 and from high school to postschool life * Classroom management and student behavior * Educational frameworks, instructional strategies, and service delivery options * Assessment, grades, graduation, and diplomas The breadth of coverage in this book, along with its practical examples, action steps, and appendixes covering key terms and definitions will provide the foundation all K–12 teachers need to successfully instruct and support students receiving special education services. It’s an indispensable resource for every general education classroom.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "28th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2006" follows the 2005--i.e., the 27th annual report--in sequence. The "28th Annual Report to Congress" has two volumes. Volume 1 presents a picture of how children and students are being served under the law nationwide and provides profiles of individual states' special education environments and early intervention settings. It also includes tables of states rank-ordered by their reported data on exiting, dropouts, educational environments and early intervention services and settings. This volume, the second one of the "2006 Annual Report to Congress" consists of tables that also were compiled from data provided by the states. Such data are required under the law. In fact, the collection and analysis of these data are the primary means by which the Office of Special Education Programs monitors activities under the "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" ("IDEA"), thereby helping to ensure the free appropriate public education of all children with disabilities. Data tables in vol. 2 cover a multitude of topics regarding states' implementation of "IDEA", Parts B and C. In the analysis of data presented in vol. 1, there are frequent references to specific tables in vol. 2 as sources. In that sense, vol. 2 can be used as an appendix to vol. 1. However, the tables in vol. 2 provide much more extensive data than are referenced in vol. 1. As such, they may be used by anyone interested in doing further analysis of state activities funded under "IDEA". Appendices include: (1) Data Notes for "IDEA", Part C; (2) Data Notes for "IDEA", Part B; (3) Population Data; (4) Enrollment Data; (5) 2003 Child Count by Disability and Race/Ethnicity; and (6) Budget Data.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 32nd Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2010. Section 664(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (P.L. 108-446), as reauthorized in 2004, requires that the Department of Education report annually on the progress made toward the provision of a free appropriate public education to all children with disabilities and the provision of early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities. The "32nd Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 2010" describes the nation's progress in: (1) providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for all children with disabilities, (2) ensuring that the rights of children with disabilities and their parents are protected, (3) assisting states and localities in providing for the education of all children with disabilities, and (4) assessing the effectiveness of efforts to educate children with disabilities. The report focuses on the children and students with disabilities being served under "IDEA," Part C and B, nationally and at the state level. In particular, Part C of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in developing and implementing statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary interagency systems to make early intervention services available to all children from birth through age 2 with disabilities and their families, whereas Part B of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in providing FAPE to children ages 3 through 21 with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services. Throughout this report, infants and toddlers served under "IDEA," Part C, children served under "IDEA," Part B, and students served under "IDEA," Part B, refer to individuals with disabilities who receive services under "IDEA," Part C or Part B.
