    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”.…

    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.…

    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).…

    INTRODUCTION Special education is required by law, to be freely implemented for all children that need it (Gibb & Dyches, 2016). In order for a child to be identified as requiring special education, a parent or teacher will need to submit a formal referral showing efforts for unsuccessful interventions. Before a child is placed in a special education program, five implications must be meet by the school. First it must be free and meet state standards. Secondly, the student must be appropriately evaluated.…

    Education is important and extremely valued within American society, although students with disabilities have struggled with getting the opportunity to have the same fair, appropriate education as their nondisabled peers. In 1975, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) was enacted and public schools began to provide accommodations for students with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) replaced the EHA in 1990, and it was designed to place more focus on the individual’s needs. Disabled students have benefitted greatly from IDEA since it was enacted 26 years ago. IDEA has immensely changed the way students with disabilities receive an education.…

    Special education is in every school system to help students with disabilities have success in life. According to Artiles and colleagues research, children back in the 1800s were excluded from educational opportunities (Artiles, Harris-Murri, and Rostenberg, 2006, p. 260). Children with disabilities were often segregated into either a separate classroom or separate schools with curriculum that didn’t fit their needs (Artiles, 2006, p. 260). Children were held to low standards, but fortunately that is not the way we see special education today. With the introduction of the Individual with Disabilities Education Act otherwise known in IDEA in 2004 we see more of a movement towards inclusion (Department of Education, 2004).…

    Today I learned from reflecting our third class session about how in special education it is important when doing assessments and utilizing the results into a student’s IEP (if the student is a special education student), that careful consideration has to be made prior to considering the validity of the assessment that is being used. I learned that essentially if an assessment has a reliability coefficient that is .80 to 1.00 then it would be considered reliable to use. However, if the reliability coefficient is below .80 then it should likely not be used because the validity of the test could be questioned and that would be a grave pitfall in utilizing in part with other sources of evidence in developing a student ’s IEP (initial, triennial,…

    In such times, not only special children are affected in this system, also students without disabilities are also having conflict with their adjustments on a classroom with special children. Parents and teachers often have expressed concerns about the likely impact on students without disabilities when children with special needs are moved to the general classroom. General students/ nondisabled students have benefitted academically from a program that created an integrated classroom composed of one-third mildly disabled students and two-thirds nondisabled students. They are just suffering on the adjustments in considering their classmates with disabilities and not on their studies because they excel in…
