Editor's Notes

  1. The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have majorly influenced special education. The IDEA have six core principals. These principles include free appropriate public education, least restrictive environment, individualized education, nondiscriminatory evaluation, due process, and zero reject/child find. According to Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D. (2018), the ADA "protects all individuals with disabilities from discrimination, and it requires most employers, whether in the public or private sector, to make reasonable accommodations for them. Although ADA does not deal directly with the education of students with disabilities, it does clarify the civil rights of all individuals with disabilities and thus has an impact on special education" (pg. 52).
  2. Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D. (2018) says, “when all your responsibilities are listed, your role in planning and providing special services to students may seem overwhelming. However, studies of general education teachers typically indicate that they positively contribute to the education of students with disabilities, especially when they receive support in doing so. The supports most often mentioned as critical include administrative leadership, staff preparation and professional development, sufficient time for collaborative planning, and adequate funding and other resources for program support” (p. 102-103).
  3. There are a variety of service providers who help students with disabilities. They each have important roles in educating these students.
  4. According to Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D. (2018), “when decisions are being made concerning a student with a suspected or documented disability, the best interests of the student and her family must be represented. The parents—or a person serving in the role of a parent, such as a guardian or foster parent—have the right to participate in virtually all aspects of their child’s educational program” (p. 112). Most of the time, parents are extremely helpful to general education teachers. They help teachers by going over work at home and helping the students excel.
  5. Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D. (2018) explains, “School districts must take specific steps to ensure that students from minority groups are not overidentified as being eligible for special education. If disproportionality has occurred, school districts are required to take steps to correct the problem” (p. 43-44). It must be clearly justified whenever a student is assigned to any other setting other than general education.
  6. When a student with a disability reaches 16 years old, they must already have a plan in motion to prepare them for life after school. This includes college, a job, or vocational school. A transition plan must be annually updated and have detailed and measurable goals.
