    Great reference tool Barb! I like the "Through the Decades" Fast Facts section, this would be a great extension activity for kids that are history buffs and like to collect this kind of detail.

    Hearing loss in mines is on the rise, but workers have different protection for different levels

    I thought it was interesting to know what how much hearing is lost because of working in the mines. Still looking for better statistics.

    A lot of great information on economic releases. This site also has a link for careers for kids. They can choose what they are interested in and read about it. Great way to help them learn what they may want to do someday.

      Another great classroom resource!
  • Visual cues are central to most early childhood education systems.

      This is incredibly true, almost every lesson we will teach have some aspect of a visual. How will we accomplish our lessons without visuals?
  • In a school environment, visual impairments can cause difficulties when it comes to traditional reading and writing activities, reading at a distance, distinguishing colors, recognizing shapes and participating in physical education games which require acute vision, such as softball and kickball.

      Prior to research, when I heard "vision impairment" I would typically think of someone who is blind. Throughout researching this disability I have realized that it is so much more. Something as simple as needing glasses for being near sided or far sided is consider a vision impairment.

      Below are some very basics tips to help accommodate your visually impaired students.
  • Children and adults with low vision are not considered legally blind, they simply have reduced vision at or lower than 20/70. Students who are blind have vision that is at or lower than 20/200. Nonetheless, only 15% of students with visual impairments are considered to be completely blind, with no light or form perception ability

      An interesting statistic!
  • Children with visual impairments often start off learning to read and write with the assistance of low-tech solutions, such as high-intensity lamps and book-stands. Sometimes screen magnification and computer typing and reading programs are used. In other cases, low vision students will learn to read using the Braille system over text, or a combination of the two. However, as students progress through early grade levels and reading and writing activities become more demanding, periodic literacy skills assessment is required to ensure additional resources and adaptive strategy instruction are provided to meet their needs.
    • clwisniewski

      It's good to continue assessing visually impaired students in case they need further assistance.
  • For those students with visual impairments who do not master Braille, making use of technology to facilitate reading is fundamental. In fact, most talented Braille readers prefer to use computers or tablets when reading for fun anyway. And students who learn to use a computer not only find homework easier to complete, but often become faster readers. It is simply more efficient for low vision students to use a computer and word-processor over reading paper books and handwriting. This is particularly relevant at a high-school level, when reading and writing assignments become lengthier and more challenging.

      This could be included in a student's IEP, so they have access to a device that can assist them with reading and writing.

  • In 2019–20, the number of students ages 3–21 who received special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was 7.3 million, or 14 percent of all public school students. Among students receiving special education services, the most common category of disability (33 percent) was specific learning disabilities.

      Statistics about students with disabilities
  • Enacted in 1975, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), formerly known as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, mandates the provision of a free and appropriate public school education for eligible students ages 3–21.
    • nikkilh
      nikkilh on 29 Jan 22
       
      When IDEA was enacted
  • Thirty-three percent of all students who received special education services had specific learning disabilities, 19 percent had speech or language impairments,2 and 15 percent had other health impairments (including having limited strength, vitality, or alertness due to chronic or acute health problems such as a heart condition, tuberculosis, rheumatic fever, nephritis, asthma, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, epilepsy, lead poisoning, leukemia, or diabetes). Students with autism, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and emotional disturbances each accounted for between 5 and 11 percent of students served under IDEA. Students with multiple disabilities, hearing impairments, orthopedic impairments, visual impairments, traumatic brain injuries, and deaf-blindness each accounted for 2 percent or less of those served under IDEA.

Tier 2 Targeted intervention for specific groups of students 6% – 15% It can take as long as eight weeks before academic improvement is noticeable, and children/students may need to remain at Tier 2 for a bit of time to increase or maintain their growth. Tier 3 Highly targeted individualized and intensive interventions 1% – 5% The specific nature of a child’s difficulty must be more closely examined, which is typically done through formal educational/academic evaluations.
