Pros And Cons Of Student With Disabilities

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has established procedures for the placement of students with disabilities within a school setting. Members of the child study

The pros and cons of the inclusion of special education students in the public school system.

The child should only be removed from a regular classroom when the disability is so severe that education "with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily."

The district argued that the Individuals with Disabilities Education act (IDEA) does not state that a district must exhaust all possible services before an alternative placement for a student (U.S. Department of Education, 2004). IDEA applies to Wally’s case in that this act discusses the issue of whether or not a student’s behavioral issues are related to their disability.

This week’s readings discussed consequences for special education students. It was very interesting to see the different court case rulings for each case. Teachers, administrators and parents need to make sure they have everything accurate when taking a case like many of these to court. In this paper I will discuss the five key points in the articles and readings stood out to me the most, how and if my beliefs changed or were altered, and how I might apply the content to the classroom and instruction.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that guarantees educational services to eligible students with disabilities. It establishes “people first” language for referring to people with disabilities. IDEA requires states to educate students with disabilities for transition to employment, and to provide transition services. IDEA also provides the students with a free and appropriate education If a student with a disability is expelled from school, IDEA says that he or she must still receive educational services. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act mandates that all students with disabilities take state and district testing. This law also requires a general education teacher to be a member of the Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) team.

What do you know about students with diverse characteristics and learning needs, in particular, students with disabilities and other exceptionalities?

This case was the monumental because it set the legal precedents that no student with an IEP can be suspended more than 10 days without the violation being one of weapon, drug, or serious bodily harm. This decision further stated that schools cannot expel students that display behavior that is linked to their disability. There is still the process in place that the hearing officer or court can only make this determination, but the prevision is a great benefit to disable students, they can no longer be removed from learning institutions without just

Until that time, many states had laws that excluded children with certain types of disabilities from attending public school. These included children who were blind, deaf and children labeled "emotionally disturbed" or "mentally retarded." Many of these children lived at state institutions where they received limited or no educational services. Having a disability does not automatically qualify a student for special education services under the IDEA. The disability must result in the student needing additional or different services to participate in school. For example, a child who is diagnosed autistic. Children with disabilities who qualify for special education are also automatically protected by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

When some people think of someone with a learning disability they often think of someone who is not able to contribute to society. It is often assumed people with learning disabilities are people who have low intelligence, work the school systems, and are socially awkward. As someone who has a learning disability these misconceptions have made it difficult for me to be open about it and prove these stereotypes wrong. Most of these misconceptions stem from people not understanding what alearning disabilities are, a learning disability “results from a difference in the way a person's brain is wired. Children with learning disabilities are as smart or smarter than their peers. But they have difficulty reading, writing, spelling, reasoning, recalling and/or organizing information if left to figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways” (idonline.org).

Under this law children with disabilities are required by law to be educated in the same classrooms as their peers (McCurdy, 2014). Students should be fully included in the general education classroom, the only circumstances for a child to be removed from the general education classroom would be if the disability is so serve that it is disrupting other students in the general education classroom (McCurdy, 2014).

First off, the needs of students are very important to their learning and academic achievement. The resources available to students in these cases could have the greatest effect on a child’s learning. In any case the benefits of services made available like supplementary aids and universal design for learning, inclusion, IEP and collaborating with a parent in the developing IEPS all work together to create the best need for a child to learn and is crucial to a child’s development. With the right help, accommodation and parent support a child can function in a classroom of their peers. Disable children deserve the support and at the same time they deserve to be treated the same as their peers. Putting a child in general education without the

The idea of children with disabilities, whether they be mild or severe has been a very controversial and misunderstood topic. In the past inclusion has brought about huge changes for not only the students, but also the parents and families of these children, and staff at schools. Teachers and education professionals were the first to really feel the wrath and intimidation of this dramatic shift in education. There were several different factors that were coming about that made it very difficult for schools and teachers, the unorganized mandates were strict and didn’t allow much time for change. “President Gerald Ford signed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA) into law in 1975. Since the original passage of the EAHCA, the law has been amended four times and renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)” (Conroy, Yell, Katsiyannis, & Collins, 2010, para.1).

The importance of education for all children, especially for those with disability and with limited social and economic opportunities, is indisputable. Indeed, the special education system allowed children with disability increased access to public education. Apart from that, the special education system has provided for them an effective framework for their education, and for the institutions involved to identify children with disability sooner. In turn, this promotes greater inclusion of children with disability alongside their nondisabled peers. In spite of these advances however, many obstacles remain, including delays in providing services for children with disability, as well as regulatory and

In the years after Honig, Congress added emergency exceptions to IDEA permitting school personnel to immediately remove a student with a disability for up to forty-five days to an interim alternative educational setting (IAES). This immediate removal is permitted if the student committed one of the following violations on school grounds or at a school function:
