Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents play an integral role in special education. Federal law establishes numerous protections for parents of students with disabilities throughout the special education processes that take place to ensure students’ needs are individually met. One such guarantee is the right for parents to be equal partners throughout special education decision making, namely the IEP process. The recent increase in the number of students identified as having a disability has resulted in a growing demand for parental resources about the manner in which they can be involved in special education processes. Special education laws and policies are often complex and difficult to navigate, especially for parents with no prior experience with the special education system. Monolingual parents face barriers that often lead to dissatisfaction with decision making outcomes regarding their child’s education. Spanish speaking families face additional barriers that hinder their ability to participate in Special education process. This project addresses the need for resources available in Spanish about the IEP process. The result of this project was the creation of an informational tool entitled Individual Education Program Guide for Parents in Spanish.
Download or read book A Workshop for Spanish speaking Parents Attending Their First Individualized Education Plan written by Samantha Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to KidsData (2020), Hispanics/Latinos make up majority of students in California (57.2%) receiving special education services. Research shows that monolingual Spanish speaking families face systemic barriers such as discrimination and lack of knowledge of their rights when navigating special education (Burke et al., 2021). There is current research that supports that parent education/support can empower families to advocate and learn about the many layers of the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) (Magaña et al., 2017). However, there is a lack of research related to workshops for parents attending their child's first IEP meeting or advocacy training (Burke et al., 2019). For these reasons, a culturally sensitive workshop for monolingual Spanish speaking parents was developed. These issues are addressed and while providing information about what to expect during an initial IEP meeting. The workshop is intended to provide terminology, basic parent rights information, and IEP guidelines.

Download or read book Educating One and All written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-06-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the movement toward standards-based education, an important question stands out: How will this reform affect the 10% of school-aged children who have disabilities and thus qualify for special education? In Educating One and All, an expert committee addresses how to reconcile common learning for all students with individualized education for "one"â€"the unique student. The book makes recommendations to states and communities that have adopted standards-based reform and that seek policies and practices to make reform consistent with the requirements of special education. The committee explores the ideas, implementation issues, and legislative initiatives behind the tradition of special education for people with disabilities. It investigates the policy and practice implications of the current reform movement toward high educational standards for all students. Educating One and All examines the curricula and expected outcomes of standards-based education and the educational experience of students with disabilitiesâ€"and identifies points of alignment between the two areas. The volume documents the diverse population of students with disabilities and their school experiences. Because approaches to assessment and accountability are key to standards-based reforms, the committee analyzes how assessment systems currently address students with disabilities, including testing accommodations. The book addresses legal and resource implications, as well as parental participation in children's education.

This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning disabilities are among the most common disabilities experienced in childhood and adulthood. Although identifying learning disabilities in a school setting is a complex process, it is particularly challenging in low- and middle-income countries that lack the appropriate resources, tools, and supports. This guide provides an introduction to learning disabilities and describes the processes and practices that are necessary for the identification process. It also describes a phased approach that countries can use to assess their current screening and evaluation services, as well as determine the steps needed to develop, strengthen, and build systems that support students with learning disabilities. This guide also provides intervention recommendations that teachers and school administrators can implement at each phase of system development. Although this guide primarily addresses learning disabilities, the practices, processes, and systems described may be also used to improve the identification of other disabilities commonly encountered in schools.
