Book excerpt: The identification of young children in need of special education and related services has been an issue with advocates, service providers, parents, researchers, and policy makers for years. The enactment in 1975 of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (P. L. 94-142) required states and jurisdictions to provide special education and related services to children identified by the disability categories enumerated in the law (hereinafter referred to as Part B categories). As implementation of this legislation continued throughout the late 1970s and into the 1980s, concerns were raised in some quarters about how applicable and appropriate some of the disability categories are for very young children. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, P.L. 108-446, clarified that the age range for developmental delay is ages 3 through 9, or any subset of that range, including ages 3 through 5. The most recent regulations reaffirmed the states' role in deciding whether to use a developmental delay category, defining it, and assigning an age range. Local education agencies (LEAs) may use developmental delay only if they use the states' definition and age range. In response to states' interest in whether or how other states are using developmental delay or other eligibility category specific to 3- through 9-year-olds, the author reviewed the current eligibility classifications and criteria as retrieved from states' Web sites and/or provided by the coordinators of the state Part B-Section 619 programs, including the District of Columbia. The results of the analysis are discussed and are summarized in this paper. Attachment 1 presents a summary of all the states' eligibility policies: disability term(s) for early childhood, the age range to which it applies, criteria for eligibility under that term, notes on the state's use of the term, including the relationship of the term to other Part B categories, whether eligibility policies address transition from Part C to Section 619 services, and additional information on the age range of developmental delay/other early childhood disability category, and other comments. (Contains 4 tables.).

This book was released on 2005 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of "NECTAC Notes" concludes that states have exhibited a strong interest in using the option of a developmental delay eligibility category for young children served by IDEA. Future changes in state eligibility policies may reflect several provisions related to eligibility policies and practices that are contained in the regulations. These provisions require that: a variety of assessment tools and strategies, including information from parents, be used to gather relevant functional and developmental information to assist in determining eligibility (see 34 C.F.R. Section 300.532-Evaluation procedures); a team of qualified professionals and the parent(s) of the child be involved in the eligibility decision (see 34 C.F.R. Section 300.534-Determination of eligibility); and the IEP team for each eligible child include the parents of the child (see 34 C.F.R. Section 300.344-IEP team). Topics covered in this issue include: (1) Findings; (2) Disability Terminology Used for Young Children; (3) Age Ranges Used by States for Developmental Delay; (4) Relationship between Developmental Delay and Other Part B Categories; and (5) Eligibility Criteria for Developmental Delay. Also included are detailed tables on: Part B Disability Categories Under IDEA; IDEA Regulations Related to Developmental Delay for Children Ages 3 through 9 Years; State Eligibility Classifications and Criteria for Young Children Under Part B of IDEA; and Early Childhood Special Education Eligibility Criteria in the States, and District of Columbia, as of January 2004.

Book excerpt: This document analyzes states' definition of developmental delay and analyzes current eligibility classifications and criteria used by states to identify young children in need of special education and related services. Data were obtained from states' Web sites, the National State Policy Database (2003), and/or provided by coordinators of the state Part B-Section 619 programs, including the District of Columbia. The paper describes variations among state policies in disability terminology used for young children, age ranges used by states for developmental delay, the relationship between developmental delay and other Part B categories, and eligibility criteria for developmental delay. The author concludes that states exhibit a strong interest in using the option of a developmental delay eligibility category for young children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Four tables provide information on the following: (1) Part B Disability Categories under IDEA; (2) IDEA Regulations Related to Developmental Delay for Children Ages 3 through 9 Years; (3) Summary of State Eligibility Classifications and Criteria for Young Children under Part B of IDEA; and (4) Summary Table of Early Childhood Special Education Eligibility Criteria in the States, and the District of Columbia as of January 2004.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special education is now an established part of public education in the United States—by law and by custom. However, it is still widely misunderstood and continues to be dogged by controversies related to such things as categorization, grouping, assessment, placement, funding, instruction, and a variety of legal issues. The purpose of this 13-part, 57-chapter handbook is to help profile and bring greater clarity to this sprawling and growing field. To ensure consistency across the volume, chapter authors review and integrate existing research, identify strengths and weaknesses, note gaps in the literature, and discuss implications for practice and future research. Key features include: Comprehensive Coverage—Fifty-seven chapters cover all aspects of special education in the United States including cultural and international comparisons. Issues & Trends—In addition to synthesizing empirical findings and providing a critical analysis of the status and direction of current research, chapter authors discuss issues related to practice and reflect on trends in thinking. Categorical Chapters—In order to provide a comprehensive and comparative treatment of the twelve categorical chapters in section IV, chapter authors were asked to follow a consistent outline: Definition, Causal Factors, Identification, Behavioral Characteristics, Assessment, Educational Programming, and Trends and Issues. Expertise—Edited by two of the most accomplished scholars in special education, chapter authors include a carefully chosen mixture of established and rising young stars in the field. This book is an appropriate reference volume for anyone (researchers, scholars, graduate students, practitioners, policy makers, and parents) interested in the state of special education today: its research base, current issues and practices, and future trends. It is also appropriate as a textbook for graduate level courses in special education.
