Today's events Previous Community Thursday, Apr 3 Sunday, Mar 30 PRINT THIS STORY E-MAIL THIS STORY Double Bind Both gifted and disabled, twice-exceptional kids are often misunderstood By Susan Glairon, Camera Staff Writer August 18, 2002 Jeremy, not his real name, is highly gifted. But his mother says he is also highly disabled. He has been diagnosed with both Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Sensory Integration Disorder. Jeremy is one of an unknown number of children who are twice-exceptional, having high intelligence and an emotional or learning disability. Disabilities for twice-exceptional kids include dyslexia and dysgraphia (an inability to write) autism, sensory integration problems and ADHD among others. Although the idea that individuals could be both gifted and disabled was recognized almost 80 years ago, experts say it's only during the last five years that the needs of twice-exceptional children are getting a closer look. Twice exceptionality is sometimes an area of contention between parents and schools. Parents say many people, including educators, have a hard time grasping that a child can be both very bright and learning disabled. Their gifted children's emotional and sensory disabilities are often perceived as behavior problems.

People with disabilities are victims of violent crime more often than people in the general population. However, their cases are prosecuted 14 times less often. Crime-victim specialists believe the new program helped in 22 cases that would not have been prosecuted otherwise. Each case led to a conviction. (San Jose Mercury News, 3/18/03). Maryland Identifying and educating gifted students with learning disabilities Massachusetts Governor proposes closing six residential centers for people with MR In the midst of a state budget crisis, Governor Romney has proposed closing Massachusetts’ six residential campuses that house about 1,200 people with mental retardation. For the most part, current residents of the centers would be transferred to community-based settings. Some advocates support the proposal, citing the increased mobility and independence community living can bring. However, others are staunchly against the governor’s proposal, arguing some people with MR have needs that cannot be accommodated in a group home setting. Moreover, some people are concerned the government has not invested enough money into developing group homes to accommodate the large influx of newcomers. (The Boston Globe, 3/20/03).

ERIC Digest #451. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC TEXT: OVERVIEW POPULATION Recent state and local follow-up studies confirm this unexplainable attrition rate among students with handicaps. These studies also strongly suggest that the dropout rate among students receiving special education services significantly exceeds the dropout rate among the general school-age population. The St. Paul Public Schools conducted a retrospective examination of the records of 4,500 students in attendance between 1974 and 1977 who left school prior to graduation. They found that up to 80% of the youths who dropped out may have been eligible for special education services. Hippolitus (1980) cited the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped as documenting the dropout rate for special education students at five to six times the rate of youths without handicaps. IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The implications of these findings have special significance for educational policy and practice. More systematic procedures for identifying potential dropouts and better follow-through in providing comprehensive programs that retain students with handicaps must be addressed.

Special Educaton Nita McAuliffe , Director San Luis Valley Board of Cooperative Services Special Education Program Philosophy of the Board of Directors Relating to the Education of Children with Disabilities The San Luis Valley Board of Cooperative Services is committed to the basic premise that the purpose of a public school education is to help each child, including those with disabilities, develop to the limit of his/her own capacity. Our goal is to provide full educational opportunities to all children with disabilities. Each child with a disability shall be offered an individual education program to meet his/her needs. It shall be the philosophy of the SLVBOCS to provide a free and appropriate public education to all eligible students from 3 to 21 years of age. The free educational concept shall encompass direct and related services as stipulated by state and federal statutes. Students receiving special education will have these services provided in the least restrictive educational environment which will be as close to their home as possible. Special Education Services Services for children and youth with disabilities in the San Luis Valley BOCS undergo continual refinement as greater understanding is achieved, as research provides better direction, and as legal mandates change. The Director of Special Education ensures that the process is reviewed and updated as needed on a yearly basis. The Director of Special Education also ensures that BOCS and local special education staff comply with both state and federal regulations regarding provision of services to students with disabilities.

About the League Profiles of Colo. Charter Schools Job Postings ... Resources Statement of Principles Colorado League of Charter Schools Revised October 1998 The Colorado League of Charter Schools (the "League") is comprised of a diverse group of Colorado charter schools, each with its own unique mission, educational philosophy and constituency. The League's mission is to serve the charter school community as: (1) a clearinghouse for useful information and resources; (2) a technical support group; and (3) an advocate for the charter school movement in Colorado. In order for the League to function effectively it is necessary to identify guiding principles, upon which there is general consensus among the League's members. These principles will serve as the foundation for the League as it advocates for the charter school community on matters of common interest. Therefore, we adopt the following League Statement of Principles. ARTICLE I. CHARTER SCHOOL GOVERNANCE 1. 1. Local Control Each charter school must be allowed to develop its own unique educational program, have the flexibility to try innovative or proven educational approaches, and establish its own priorities for student instruction. Therefore, control over budget, personnel, curriculum, and day-to-day operations is vested in the charter school's governing structure. In order for Colorado charter schools to achieve maximum effectiveness it is essential that charter schools and their chartering districts deal with each other in good faith and with equity. Chartering districts must not interfere with or seek to limit the authority vested in each charter school by its charter and by applicable law. Conversely, each charter school must exercise its authority within the parameters of its contract with its chartering district and state and federal law.
