    Register for this webinar and view all webinars in this series COPAA is offering five webinars  as part of this summer series. You are welcome to register for individual sessions or for the entire series of sessions. More information: Summer series - Fall series  What: When a school proposes the disciplinary removal of a student with special needs for more than 10 days, the school must first hold a Manifestation Determination Review meeting. This review process is designed to provide a safeguard to children with special needs to ensure that the school does not excessively punish those children who are misbehaving as a direct result of their disability. If this causal connection can be established, a school cannot issue a removal and must instead provide appropriate behavioral supports and services. In this panel, we will explore the inherent problems with the review process as it currently exists and propose solutions that would provide meaningful protections for children with special needs who have behavioral issues. When: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm Mountain Cost: $79.00 per session or $275.00 for the summer series (all 5 sessions) $599.00 Annual Webinar Subscription: Includes ALL Live and Archived Sessions (Member discounts available)

shared by Roger Holt on 18 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • There is often a lot of anxiety around talking to children with special needs about growing up, relationships and sex. Parents worry their children may be vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. But by teaching your child about sex and relationships you can help keep them safe. Whether your child has special needs or not, they will still hit puberty and the chances are they will have sexual feelings. Giving them the information they need to understand those feelings and channelling them appropriately is very important.

  • Summer vacation will be here soon. When planning a vacation with a person who has special needs, accessibility is the name of the game: wheelchair accessibility, accessibility to medical needs, a positive sensory environment, accessibility to old interests and new experiences. Every destination on this list welcomes and accommodates visitors with special needs.  You’ve probably heard of some of these places before, but others may get you thinking about vacations in a whole new way.

  • Has anyone ever given you a serious look that says unequivocally, “You have absolutely lost your mind?” I have.  Several times.  Yes, recently. I guess I’ve earned it with my hair styled by a 6 year old, dark under-eye circles and wrinkled clothes that never seem to fit quite right.  And then there’s my questionable behavior in public – as the parent of a child with special needs, I often find myself breaking social norms. These are some of the circumstances in which I’ve been on the receiving end of “that look.”

  • Parents of a child with special needs will do anything they can to make sure their child is happy and in a supportive environment. When it comes to discussing your child’s education with his or her teachers and the school’s administration many parents feel they can handle it on their own. Here are ten reasons why you should consider hiring an advocate or attorney to help get everything you want for your child.

college intellectual disability

shared by Roger Holt on 13 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • I have to admit, I have been giddy ever since I began researching college opportunities for children with special needs.  How exciting!  We have always told our 13-yr old daughter with Down syndrome she would be going to college some day, but it was one of those hopeful comments where I wasn’t really sure it would ever be a reality. No more! Vanderbilt, Ohio State University, University of Kentucky, Syracuse University and on and on and on. I sorted through 200 programs throughout the United States. 200!  Only a few years ago, when this subject was first brought to my attention, there were a mere handful of these programs in the US. I was very surprised to see the great strides our educational community is making to make college a reality for young people with intellectual disabilities.
