NICHCY Our Publications Disability Info A publication of the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Table of Contents Mario's story What is AD/HD? How common is it? What are the signs? ... Organizations Fact Sheet 19 (FS19) September 2002 Approx. 8 pages when printed. PDF version Mario's Story Mario is 10 years old. When he was 7, his family learned he had AD/HD. At the time, he was driving everyone crazy. At school, he couldn’t stay in his seat or keep quiet. At home, he didn’t finish his homework or his chores. He did scary things, too, like climb out of his window onto the roof and run across the street without looking. Things are much better now. Mario was tested by a trained professional to find out what he does well and what gives him trouble. His parents and teachers came up with ways to help him at school. Mario has trouble sitting still, so now he does some of his work standing up. He’s also the student who tidies up the room and washes the chalkboard. His teachers break down his lessons into several parts. Then they have him do each part one at a time. This helps Mario keep his attention on his work. At home, things have changed, too. Now his parents know why he’s so active. They are careful to praise him when he does something well. They even have a reward program to encourage good behavior. He earns “good job points” that they post on a wall chart. After earning 10 points he gets to choose something fun he’d like to do. Having a child with AD/HD is still a challenge, but things are looking better.

Section 504 and IDEA: Basic Similarities and Differences S. James Rosenfeld, Esq. President EDLAW, Inc. Although parents of children with disabilities are frequently more familiar with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), they should also acquaint themselves with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (hereinafter "Section 504"). Knowledge of both statutes, and particularly their implementing regulations, often is necessary to be sure of securing an appropriate education for children with disabilities. Indeed, for some children with disabilities, Section 504 may be more important the only legal mandate requiring education agencies to provide special education or related services to a child with a disability. This article will familiarize parents with why and how Section 504 impacts the education of children with disabilities; illustrate some of the differences between Section 504 and IDEA; and provide a basic explanation of "how Section 504 works." It is vital to remember, however, that literally volumes have been written on these topics and, therefore, no one should rely solely on this article to undertake legal action. A suitable next step in the learning process might be review of RIGHTS OF PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED PERSONS (Shepard's/McGraw-Hill, Colorado Springs, Colorado: 1984), a concise but very sophisticated explanation of this area by Professor Laura F. Rothstein of the University of Houston School of Law.

Mind Introduction "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." -Albert Einstein. "If we use a road map to plan a trip from coast-to-coast, we often find ourselves detouring from that plan to travel 'off the beaten path' to experience something different. Despite these 'detours' we still arrive at our destination. So too our lives are destined, some may just take longer due to their choices in detours. The journey begins...where all great ideas start, conceived as a notion then realized as substance. On the path of life, there are many seeds of inspiration left for our gathering. These are but a humble collection of some of those seeds." george d. nicholls, spiritual seeds Titles of the reviewed links are alphabetized for the Mind section.
