This book was released on 2008 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow-up data was collected on 44 former students of the Marshall Metropolitan High School in Chicago, Illinois. Information regarding the former students' status and experiences in the areas of employment, daily living, social network, personal satisfaction, and use of services and supports was gathered. This study was the first post-school follow-up investigation of former students who received special education services at a large urban high school serving a predominately minority and low socioeconomic population. This study also investigated the perceptions of teachers at Marshall Metropolitan High School regarding findings from the follow-up investigation, particularly in terms of what teachers believe should be retained and changed in the current system of services to youth with disabilities. Findings from this investigation were considered in relation to prior literature related to the school to adult life transition of youth with disabilities. Possible explanations for various findings were explored and critiqued. Additionally, recommendations were made for educators and policymakers responsible for the secondary and postsecondary education of youth with disabilities as well as for future research.

Download or read book Profiles of Students with Disabilities as Identified in NELS 88 written by Robert J. Rossi and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes characteristics of students with disabilities in the National Education Longitudinal Study (nels:88), which conducted a base-year survey in 1988 of all U.S. public and private schools containing eighth grades, followed up at 2-year intervals in 1990, 1992, and 1994. Among general observations are the following: (1) students identified in nels:88 as disabled tended to have greater difficulties in school and realized fewer positive outcomes of schooling; (2) relatively small percentages of students with disabilities as identified by nels:88 perceived themselves or were identified by school officials as having received special education services during high school; and (3) teachers in nels:88 were perceptive judges of which students were failing to perform well in the classroom, but linking the identification of disability status to classroom performance may blur the distinction between students with disabilities and students at risk. After an introductory chapter, individual chapters address the following issues concerning students with disabilities: disability identification, students' background characteristics, school experiences, and educational outcomes. A concluding chapter lists characteristics of populations identified as disabled by both parents and teachers and only by teachers, not by parents. Four appendices list nels:88 indicators of disability, nels:88 disability estimates based on alternative disability definitions, and research/technical notes. (Contains 12 references.) (Db).
Download or read book Childhood Cancer Survivorship written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-10-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only more recently has it been realized that the intense effort to care for and cure a child with cancer does not end with survival. Continued surveillance and a variety of interventions may, in many cases, be needed to identify and care for consequences of treatment that can appear early or only after several decades and impair survivors' health and quality of life. The more than two-thirds of childhood cancer survivors who experience late effects-that is, complications, disabilities, or adverse outcomes-as a result of their disease, its treatment, or both, are the focus of this report which outlines a comprehensive policy agenda that links improved health care delivery and follow-up, investments in education and training for health care providers, and expanded research to improve the long-term outlook for this growing population now exceeding 270,000 Americans.

Download or read book Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Dianne Zager and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of Autism Spectrum Disorders: Identification, Education, and Treatment continues the mission of its predecessors: to present a comprehensive, readable, and up-to-date overview of the field of autism; one that links research, theory, and practice in ways that are accessible to students, practitioners, and parents. During the last decade, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have emerged as the fastest growing developmental disability, and, in response to the dramatic increase in diagnoses, diagnostic criteria in the newly published DSM-5 are significantly different than they were in the DSM IV-R. The structure, content, and format of Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4th Edition have been revised to accommodate changes in the field and to illuminate the current state of the art in the study of autism. New information on early identification, transition education from adolescence through to adulthood, neurobiological research, and technology-based solutions is included.
