From left to right: On the table: Eddy Franklin, Joanne Spinoza, and David Franklin (autism). On the floor: Nicholas Murphy (hemophilia) and Renaldo Rodriguez (visually impaired). Data collected by the U.S. Bureau of the Census suggest that as many as 20 percent of the American population live with some level of disability and as many as 10 percent have a severe disability. These Americans rely on libraries to provide a range of materials and services to help them meet their information needs. Traditional offerings such as adaptive technology, large print books, books on tape, and books-by-mail are a staple at many libraries. Other libraries have thoughtful programs to help the disabled and the mentally handicapped overcome more basic challenges of self-esteem and integration into everyday society.

MASSPAC-Special Education--Fact Vs. Fiction neighboring states of New Hampshire, connecticut, and Rhode system where studentswith special needs get more expenditures do not give disabled children more http://www.masspac.org/resources/fact_fiction.htm
Extractions: FACT VS. FICTION Anecdotes and stories are often cited to support the need to amend Chapter 766 in ways that would be drastic and devastating for children. However, the facts clearly demonstrate that these anecdotes present a distorted view inconsistent with reality. FICTION: Parents and advocates are unreasonable and consistently oppose efforts to reform Chapter 766. FACT: Parents and advocates actively participated with 15 statewide organizations to develop a comprehensive and far-reaching Special Education Reform Proposal. This proposal, which represents major concessions by parents, addresses mechanisms to tighten eligibility, reduce costs for independent evaluations, revise discipline standards for children with disabilities, and increase the states share of special education costs. Parents and advocates developed this Reform Proposal in conjunction with state organizations representing superintendents, school committees, principals, special education directors, private schools, collaboratives, and teachers unions. FICTION: Special education is out of control the numbers and cost are skyrocketing and no relief is in sight.

Reading Recovery Leader in South Texas, connecticut, and Massachusetts those children actually werenot disabled, but just peers, DiPaola (Office of special needs) said, special http://www.ri.net/sorico/reading_recovery.htm
Extractions: Reading Recovery Revived in Southern Rhode Island After a brief lapse in service, the Southern Rhode Island Collaborative has once again put the Reading Recovery intervention into the offerings to schools and school districts. Rhode Island has developed a consortium of sites to serve the State in the various regions. Because of the definite need in the area of reading and writing and the devotion of many advocates, the intervention has once again been reinstated in this area with hiring of a Teacher Leader in the Southern Rhode Island region. Patricia Starnes comes to us after working several years in Reading Recovery. She was trained by Billie Askew at Texas Woman's University and continued to work as a Teacher Leader in South Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. While in Massachusetts, she worked directly under Irene Fountas at Lesley University and received further training as a trainer of Literacy Coordinators for the Literacy Collaborative (formerly ELLI). Starnes' bilingual proficiency led her to be involved in Descubreindo La Lectura, a Spanish reconstruction of Reading Recovery and the development of materials for use in Literacy Collaborative classrooms where children are learning to read in Spanish. Reading Recovery is a valuable service that schools provide for first grade children who are struggling in reading and writing. The intervention targets children before they have fallen into a cycle of failure and the majority of them become successful readers and writers. Actually, the program has two positive outcomes. The children who are unable to meet the average range of performance within 20 weeks of service are then clearly identified as needing Special Education services. This allows for better identification of the Special Education population and the children's programs can be more readily identified.
