There's a good article about pen pals and children with special needs at the Great Schools link below. It has lots of suggestions that may be helpful.

There's a site Kidscom.com which has a section "Make friends around the world. Find a key pal." The link is below.

A statement of special needs is a legal document put together by health and education professionals, in conjunction with parents. The statement lists the childs different identified needs, such as behaviour, learning, physical, medical and self help ect. To be granted a statement, the child must have significant needs over other children of their age. These needs are so significant, a statement is required to enable extra support and provision for the child. The statement makes clear what people working with the child need to do, what the targets and outcomes for the child need to be, what extra support the goverment will pay for, and what extra support is needed outside of school (non educational).

Ages 3-21 years are covered under IDEA Part B, Ages birth to 2 are covered under IDEA part C. None of these actually require that an IEP be developed for a child to receive services. Some limited services are covered under 504 plans or response to intervention plans. The child has to fit under one of the categories of disability listed in the IDEA and need services to qualify.

One of the advantages of nursery and kindercare is the fact that it helps socialize children. They learn how to play with and get along with their peers. Another advantage is that it gives children a bit of independence.

Your parents treat you like you are young because 10 isn't very old and they want to protect you. Just 8 years ago you couldn't read or write, talk in complete sentences, and were just potty trained. Today, you still have a lot to learn about the world ( yes you know a great deal, but there is things you don't know), and your parents know this. They want you to stay young and to learn and grow up to be the best possible person you can be. You will never be any younger than you are today and you will have 80 years of being an adult. Enjoy being a kid because being an adult isn't that much fun.

A gifted child is considered a special child because advanced intellect or talent creates a need for education that is different than the education that is presented to them in the classroom. Some states have IEPs for gifted children, some don't. But the child is still considered as having a 'special need' because they need different work and different expectations than the other children.

Students with disabilities who are experience discrimination often become victims of other Psychiatric disorders, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression. This often occurs in students with Asperger's syndrome and High-Functioning autism. In short, discrimination is dangerous to their psychological and physical well-being. Often times disabled people feel worthless, hopeless, and alone. Discrimination can obviously also result in need for further medical/psychological treatment, either due to being beat-up or due to emotional and psychological scarring incurred as a result of the abuse.

Depending on their level of functionality, explain as much as you can. These children need to learn coping skills. The first step to that is awareness. If they can self-regulate their symptoms, then they can self-motivate the solutions. For example, when my son has hyperness or focus issues, he needs to recognize it, then recall his behavior mod lessons and choose to either go off to a quiet spot or run outside to get his energy out, etc. He is high functioning autistic so he had to learn that spinning makes him more wound up so he needs to choose an alternative behavior for getting out this sensory craving. Just as an allergy child needs to know what will 'cause a reaction, a special needs child needs to know the obstacles to overcome them.

As teachers, we can assist children with special needs in achieving autonomy by providing them with appropriate support and scaffolding. This can involve breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable steps, and gradually increasing their independence. We can also encourage and foster self-advocacy skills, promoting their voice and decision-making abilities. Additionally, creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment that celebrates individual strengths and abilities will help empower children with special needs towards autonomy.

I think there's a lot more that could be done to accommodate for children with a behavioural problem. Often schools have policies in place that will manage the majority of the cohort in the school. However there are some children that simply just don't "fit" into the nice little package school expect. Mainstream schools are quite susceptible to this, where as inclusive schools get finance off the l.e.a to provide internal support from outside agencies. This is for school to use when it seems all other attempts have failed, and where possible exclusions are mounting up. With this funding, schools may employ professionals in the field of behaviour to intervene and implement strategies and compile ibp's (individual behaviour plans). Failing this working, the final straw is a permanent exclusion. This is detrimental to a child's educational record, and often these children, now with a stigma attached to them, will find themselves in pupil referral units. What seems to be the problem is that schools are too hot off the mark to exclude pupils, and dismiss trying different avenues because its time consuming. Some of these children have severe behavioural issues because they have learning difficulties that go un noticed. And they get frustrated within a classroom. Some have social interaction difficulties which make them seem rude and insincere. Some may have a troubled upbringing, and some may even have high functioning autism. All these things could be identified and helped if people in the classroom had less workload, and more time to invest into our young people.

Special needs teacher should exhibit an attitude of manner relevent (sp) to the inidividual's needs; must have the power of feeling; a great disposition because people can usually sense a bad disposition.

Also, the teacher must have, in my opinion, an understanding of each person's needs AND attitude and have a desire to work with that.

Above all love. "for the greatest of these is love (charity)".

Remedial instruction is teaching the necessary material, or courses, that the students have either not encountered, or have failed to pass on previous attempts.

It is often used to ensure that the prerequisites for later courses are understood, especially in higher education.

outdoor play is important because it develop children's socialaspect, physical aspect intellectual aspect, creative and emotional aspect

as children play in out door they use different materials and equipment so they learn different social values like sharing, give and take, apologising if they have done something bad to others;learning good and bad behaviors and learng to take part in different roles even if they are at home.

It is also important not just to have your child fit, but healthy. Make sure after playing for a while, your child drinks a lot of water and eats at least some sort of fruit such as an apple. This will be sure to keep your child fit and healthy!

The department of water and land conservation provides grant money

in the form of a sharing type grant. 55/45. Go to www.nps.gov (National Park Service). There isn't a lot of money available there but anything will help. I am currently searching as well. Our little town in Missouri needs something for the kids.

The grant would also help pay for things like paving walking trails and an

amphitheater. The grant money available this year is the same amount as last year. There have been a few years that there was no money in the fund but there has been some years that there was much more available than there is right now. Hope this helps.

The Arctic poppy (Papaver radicatum) thrives in cold, tundra-like environments and has specific needs for optimal growth. It requires well-drained, rocky soil and can tolerate poor nutrient conditions, as it is adapted to harsh climates. The plant benefits from full sunlight, which is crucial for its photosynthesis in the short growing season. Additionally, it is resilient to extreme temperature fluctuations and can withstand frost, making it well-suited for its native habitats.

When we say special children are special learners, we mean that children with special needs require unique and tailored approaches to learning in order to reach their full potential. These learners may have specific learning styles, challenges, or abilities that require individualized attention and support in an educational setting.

The children of Buna received special attention due to their vulnerability and the need for protection in the harsh conditions of the concentration camp. Their innocence stood in stark contrast to the brutality surrounding them, prompting a sense of empathy from both fellow prisoners and guards. Additionally, the presence of children highlighted the loss of humanity in such a dehumanizing environment, drawing attention to their plight and the moral implications of their suffering. This focus on children often served as a poignant reminder of the innocence lost during the Holocaust.

The needs of children are first met by the family through emotional support, physical care, and socialization. Families provide love and security, which are essential for a child's emotional development. They also ensure basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing are met. Additionally, families play a crucial role in teaching social skills and values, helping children navigate their environment and build relationships.

Special needs trusts do not have retained earnings in the traditional sense, as they are designed to hold and manage assets for the benefit of a person with disabilities without affecting their eligibility for government benefits. Instead of earnings being retained, any income generated by the trust's assets is typically used for the beneficiary's needs or reinvested in accordance with the trust's terms. The primary goal of a special needs trust is to supplement, not supplant, the benefits provided by government programs.

To encourage your mom to treat you like a baby, you can express your desire for her nurturing care and attention. Share your feelings of wanting comfort and support, perhaps during a stressful time. You might also engage in playful behavior that reminds her of your childhood, such as cuddling up with her or asking for her help with simple tasks. Just be sure to communicate openly about your feelings and needs.

Special needs is the politically correct term for someone who is mentally, emotionally, or physically challenged. In the past, hurtful people would say retarded.
