    The District Court found the Capistrano Unified School District in violation of providing Jeremy Wartenberg with FAPE. They establish that based on the evidence presented, Jeremy’s behavior was a result of his primary learning disability, ADD. They stated that his unsuccessful school experience was caused by his ADD, not his purposeful negative conduct, yet, the two items could not be separated.

    The court believed that under the circumstances, the departments agreement to put the deadline first over parent’s participation was not within reason.

    For patients with high cholesterol, Praluent, also known by its generic name, alirocumab, is the new FDA approved drug that is effective at improving liver function to lower bad cholesterol (Goldschmidt). Unlike other available medication in the market, Praluent is a completely new class of drug that enhance the lives of many individuals and provides an alternative method for treating cholesterol that will appeal to patients who do not see results from their current medication or experience severe side effects. Most current statins, like Lipitor, block the liver’s production of bad cholesterol. Praluent uses a different method in which antibodies target a protein called PCSK9 that generally maintains high levels of cholesterol in the liver…

    Because of an observed discrepancy between her level of achievement and her potential, her parents believed that she was not receiving her legal right to an appropriate education. However, the school district argued that she was in fact receiving an appropriate education as evidenced through her learning and promotion to the subsequent grade-level. Court’s Decision On June 28, 1982, the Supreme Court reversed and remanded the decision, determining that, according to the EHA, the supports and services that Amy was receiving constituted “free appropriate public education” without the provision of a sign-language interpreter.…

    I chose the case study of Kimika Kanzia to complete my annual IEP requirement for EDUC-614. Kimika was a 9 year old girl with moderate intellectual disabilities, a seizure disorder and a gross motor impairment. Kimika had been receiving special education in the early childhood special education program since she was three years old due to her education deficits and gross motor impairment. At that time, she was found to have significant language, academic and motor delays. The case study reported that during preschool she made slow but steady progress and over the next few years she was moved to a classroom for students with “trainable mental retardation”.…

    As a part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B State Monitoring and Compliance System all SEA’s and LEA’s must report on compliance with the federal regulations. The SEA’s role is to set high expectations, provide resources and support, and exercise accountability to ensure all residents receive an appropriate education. The IDEA Part B regulations at 34 CFR §300.600 require the SEA’s to monitor the implementation of IDEA Part B, make annual determinations about the performance of each LEA, enforce compliance with IDEA Parts B and C, and report annually on the performance of the SEA and each LEA. The primary focus of the SEA’s monitoring activities must be on improving educational results and functional outcomes for all children with disabilities and ensuring LEAs meet the program requirements of IDEA Parts B and C. In exercising its monitoring responsibilities, the SEA must ensure when it identifies noncompliance with the requirements of IDEA Parts B and C by LEAs, the noncompliance is corrected as soon as possible, and in no case later than one year after the SEA’s identification of the noncompliance.…

    The IEP team is then responsible for laying out when and to what extent the child is out of the LRE. IDEA entitles all children with disabilities to access public education, and must provide the child with a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). Due to Beth not making progress on goals, Beth was receiving few benefits from the mainstream setting. The IEP proposed a setting that would still provide access to non-disabled peers to the extent that was most appropriate for her to access her education in a way that was most meaningful to her as well as allow for academic progress.…

    I think the process of developing and reviewing and IEP is just as equally significant as the actual legal document due to the fact that development and the review of the IEP is stated in the legal document. The legal document of the IEP states and list the student’s accommodations, special education services, strengths, weakness, and the student’s goals. Mrs. Taylor needs to remember the development of the review of an IEP is highly important, and that her views and thoughts of her student’s goals and needs are listed in the legal document of the IEP, which is how her student will receive his/her special education services. I feel it is highly recommended that the student’s parents and guardians should be included in process of developing and reviewing their student’s IEP.…

    The plaintiffs side challenged the 180-day school year rule under the violation of equal protection, under the fourteenth amendment, and, as I mentioned previously, the Education for all Handicapped Children Act, too1. This side, also, made the point that the Department of Education requires at least one annual IEP per child1. An IEP includes the current levels of the child and, the goals they hope to obtain within that years’ time1. However, districts refused to fund more than the 180 days, even though it is an annual, aka one years’ time, goal(s) to achieve list1. On the other side of this debate are the defendants, who claim that the loss of skills are due to the nonfunctionality of what is being taught to the children, a lack of competence in teachers and, that parents are failing to practice the program properly with their children1.…

    The National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET) has explained the steps necessary to identify a high-risk student. Additionally, they have offered referral techniques and created logical frameworks for multidisciplinary teams to follow. Similar in context to the first case above, the implications of Timothy v. Rochester are groundbreaking. Current students with disabilities are the recipients of Individualized Education Programs (IEP). Although some students with disabilities are able to take high-stakes assessments under the same conditions as their classmates without disabilities, the federal government allows states to establish alternative assessments and provide testing accommodations for students who need them as specified in their IEPs (Salend).…

    The first step I would take as an educator to help support families of children with special needs in order to maximize their success in my classroom would be to make sure that the child’s disability has been addressed or has been identified. I would make sure that the parents of the child have the necessary information in order to continue forward. I remember in a parent interview I did for Diverse and Exceptional Learner, that the parent got frustrated because the teacher was not direct with them and kept beating around the bush when the teacher was trying to tell the parent that they think their child has Asperger’s. Parents aren’t going to know what to do when their child is identified having special needs. Therefore, the first step a teacher should take when trying to support a parent with a child with special needs is to point them in the…

    Children who struggle with a physical injury or disability often find they need extra help, and pediatric physical therapist assistants (PTAs) may be the ones to provide this help. A physical therapist assistant works under the guidance of a physical therapist to help child become independent when they suffer from a disability or physical injury. The therapist doesn't take on tasks for the child, but works with the child to show him or her a way they can tackle the job on their own, so they can become more independent and do more for themselves. The therapist assistant works with the child, the supervising therapist, his or her parents and other adults in the child's life to develop an individualized treatment plan, one that meets the unique needs of the child. Often, this therapy takes place in a school setting, thus school therapists are becoming more common.…
