Download or read book A HANDBOOK FOR SUPPLEMENTARY AIDS AND SERVICES written by Edward Burns and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Handbook for Supplementary Aids and Services will be useful to regular and special education teachers, related service providers (e.g., speech and language, physical and occupational therapy, etc.), school personnel, psychologists, IEP team members, and parents in the development, implementation and review of individualized education programs (IEPs). Public law 105-17 (the IDEA amendments of 1997) has reemphasized the importance of participation in the regular classroom and in the general curriculum. In order to maximize the participation of children with disabilities with children who are not disabled, Supplementary Aids and Services are now a required element of a child's IEP. Of the three services which must be specified in every child's IEP (special education related services and Supplementary Aids and Services), Supplementary Aids and Services are the least defined. Nonetheless, Supplementary Aids and Services are the key to mainstreaming and inclusion and provide the basic test when determining 'the maximum extent appropriate' a child with a disability can be educated with children who are not disabled. This book attempts to fulfill this need by providing guidance based on best practice, the law and current research concerning the meaning and implementation of Supplementary Aids and Services. The book is composed of ten chapters. The first three chapters deal with the need to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE), the various services required by IDEA, and the importance of regular classroom placements. Chapters Four, Five and Six detail the full range of Supplementary Aids and Services, the continuum of alternative placements that must be provided by schools, and methods for providing the least restrictive environment (LRE) requirement. Chapter Seven presents methods for including Supplementary Aids and Services in a child's IEP and related matters concerning IEP documentation. Chapters Eight and Nine describe direct and indirect teaching services that will enable a child with a disability to participate in the regular classroom. Chapter Ten focuses on assistive technology services, devices and aids that can be used in conjunction with special education, related services and Supplementary Aids and Services to enable successful regular classroom participation.

Download or read book Mining and the Environment written by Karlheinz Spitz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 1145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of mining is replete with controversy of which much is related to environmental damage and consequent community outrage. Over recent decades, this has led to increased pressure to improve the environmental and social performance of mining operations, particularly in developing countries. The industry has responded by embracing the ideals of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Mining and the Environment identifies and discusses the wide range of social and environmental issues pertaining to mining, with particular reference to mining in developing countries, from where many of the project examples and case studies have been selected. Following an introductory overview of pressing issues, the book illustrates how environmental and social impact assessment, such as defined in "The Equator Principles", integrates with the mining lifecycle and how environmental and social management aims to eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive mining impacts. Practical approaches are provided for managing issues ranging from land acquisition and resettlement of Indigenous peoples, to the technical aspects of acid rock drainage and mine waste management. Moreover, thorough analyses of ways and means of sharing non-transitory mining benefits with host communities are presented to allow mining to provide sustainable benefits for the affected communities. This second edition of Mining and the Environment includes new chapters on Health Impact Assessment, Biodiversity and Gender Issues, all of which have become more important since the first edition appeared a decade ago. The wide coverage of issues and the many real-life case studies make this practice-oriented book a reference and key reading. It is intended for environmental consultants, engineers, regulators and operators in the field and for students to use as a course textbook. As much of the matter applies to the extractive industries as a whole, it will also serve environmental professionals in the oil and gas industries. Karlheinz Spitz and John Trudinger both have multiple years of experience in the assessment of mining projects around the world. The combination of their expertise and knowledge about social, economic, and environmental performance of mining and mine waste management has resulted in this in-depth coverage of the requirements for responsible and sustainable mining.
