Study Notes
Early Intervention and Developmental Programs
- Developmental programs are available for autistic children requiring assistance beyond early intervention services.
Historical Context of Disability in Education
- Four decades ago, children with physical or intellectual disabilities were often excluded from schools due to a lack of accommodations.
- Parents challenged school boards legally for discrimination, leading to a landmark Supreme Court case.
- The outcome of this case resulted in the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Educational Services and Class Size
- Average class size is typically 18 students.
- Students needing educational services may be pulled from their main classroom for specialized support.
- Inclusion programs feature two teachers in the classroom to provide tailored assistance; if a student struggles, they can seek help from a specially trained teacher.
Classroom Settings for Children with Additional Needs
- Children diagnosed with ADHD or anxiety benefit from smaller classroom environments for more personalized attention.
Board of Education's Role and Limitations
- The Board of Education does not perform diagnoses and may withhold assistance due to funding limitations.
- While supportive of students with ADHD, the Board does not provide referrals for external diagnoses and cannot officially diagnose ADHD.
- External evaluations are more comprehensive, averaging 8 hours, compared to the Board's typical 3-hour testing which primarily focuses on education.
Individualized Education Plans (IEP)
- Recognition of a child's need for assistance can lead to the development of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) by the Board of Education.
Importance of Parent Communication
- Regular communication with parents about their child's academic performance is crucial; assumptions should not be made without input from families.
