Choosing on is a challenging process involving knowing yourself, reviewing your options, and putting it all together in a final selection that's just right for you. In 1974, Raul Martinez (Las Cruces, N.M.) joined the U.S. Army. While in the service, he attended New Mexico State University (NMSU), in Las Cruces, and in 1982 received a bachelor's degree in elementary education/special education. Still in the Army reserves, he taught high-school special-education classes in Las Cruces. According to graduate student Raul Martinez, New Mexico State University is "in tune with the Americans With Disabilities Act"but some areas still need improvement. However, in December 1986, while serving as a Special Forces paratrooper, Martinez sustained an injury that resulted in T10 paraplegia. He had rehab at the Long Beach (Calif.) VA Medical Center and in 1987 returned to NMSU to work on a master's degree in special-education administration, which he completed in 1996. "I decided on New Mexico State because it was near my home and provided the program I was interested in," Martinez says. "It was one of the first schools to offer a degree in this area for kindergarten through grade 12."

What is "INCLUSION"? Is it Right for My Child? By Bob Pasternack, Ph.D. We begin this discussion of inclusion with a question: How many times does the term "inclusion" appear in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)? The answer is none (zero)! That's right, "inclusion" never appears in the federal law (IDEA) nor the federal regulations governing the implementation of the IDEA in our public, private, and state supported schools. When the first legislation protecting the rights of students with special needs was passed in 1975 (the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (EHA), over one million children with special needs were excluded from public schools. As the US Congress has reauthorized this legislation, most recently in 1997, the legislative intent has been to ensure that students with disabilities are afforded a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. In other words, the intent has been to include students with disabilities with non-disabled students in all aspects of public school life, hence the term "inclusion" is used although it is actually not spelled out. Since most public school teachers have not had specialized training on working with students with special needs, there is tremendous resistance to fully including students with disabilities in regular classes. This resistance, and the desire of many parents to have their children with special needs fully included, has caused great conflict in public schools throughout the U.S.

NEW MEXICO CONFERENCE OF CHURCHES Public Policy Position on THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED Background Current Pressing Needs  Higher salary levels for personnel in community day and residential programs serving the developmentally disabled. Such salaries, funded primarily by state support, are too low resulting in high turnover, use of untrained workers, and general deterioration of programs.  Expansion of day programs for the developmentally disabled, including work activities, sheltered workshops, job placement and training. This is needed for the rising number of public school graduates and residents of newly established group homes across the state.  Expansion of group homes for the developmentally disabled, including Intermediate Care Facilities/Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR) for the severely handicapped needing nursing care, and semi-independent living group homes and supervised apartments for the more advanced clients. A state law may be needed, requiring that developmentally disabled group homes be considered as single-family residences under local zoning ordinances, so that group homes can be located in residential areas where land prices are less costly.  Inauguration of special care programs in courts and prisons for offenders who are mentally retarded.

"Quality New Mexico Schools: A Mission for All New Mexicans" Guidelines on Special Education Assessment Issues MEMORANDUM December 1, 2000 TO: Superintendents, Principals, Special Education Directors, and Regional Cooperative Directors FROM: Robert Pasternack, Ph.D., State Director of Special Education Cheryl Brown-Kovacic, Ph.D., State Director of Assessment and Evaluation RE: Guidance on Special Education Assessment Issues Due to the importance of the information in this memorandum, superintendents are asked to assure that all teachers receive a copy of it and that all teachers comply with the changes in testing requirements described. The State Department of Education believes and expects that all students should participate in the New Mexico assessment and accountability programs. When students receiving special education and related services are excluded from state and district accountability programs, they do not receive the benefits gained from participation, such as improved instruction, higher expectations and involvement in education reforms. The 1997 Amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the New Mexico Special Education Regulations mandate that students receiving special education and related services will participate in state and district assessments in one of three ways: in a standard administration; in a non-standard administration with accommodations as defined in the student's IEP; or in an alternate assessment.
