An Update on Psychopharmacologic Medication
Authors: Sweeney Dwight P. , Forness Steven R. , Kavale Kenneth A. , Levitt Jennifer G.
Published: December 2008

Four major classes of medications are commonly used to treat children with learning or behavioral disorders: stimulant medications, antidepressants or mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants. In addition, anxiolytics (e.g., Valium) and adrenergic agents (e.g., clonidine) are occasionally used to treat some disorders. Research estimates suggest that between 2% and 3% of all school children may be on one of these medications at any time. It has been further estimated that between 15% and 20% of children in special education may be receiving one or more of these drugs. This article discusses the potential uses and abuses of psychopharmacologic therapy with children or adolescents displaying learning, emotional, or behavioral disorders. It explores the indications and contraindications of such therapy and enumerates the known side effects of the most frequently prescribed medications.

Cooperative Teaching: Pictures of Possibilities
Authors: Bauwens Jeanne , Hourcade Jack J.
Published: December 2008

Cooperative teaching, in which a general educator and a special services provider (e.g., a special educator, Chapter 1 teacher, speech and language therapist) teach together simultaneously in a general education classroom composed of academically heterogeneous students, has rapidly emerged as an effective way to facilitate the inclusion of students with diverse curricular and instructional needs. In this article we provide an overview of cooperative teaching, note problems experienced by some participants moving into cooperative teaching, and offer practical suggestions for enhancing the effectiveness of cooperative teaching.
How Now Brown Cow: Phoneme Awareness Activities for Collaborative Classrooms
Authors: Edelen-Smith Patricia J.
Published: December 2008

Research indicates a strong relationship between early phoneme awareness and later reading success, and it links some reading failure to insufficiently developed phoneme awareness skills. Intervention research clearly demonstrates the benefits of explicitly teaching phoneme awareness skills. Many children at risk for reading failure are in general education classrooms where phoneme awareness training is not part of their reading program. This article presents a set of developmental phoneme awareness training activities that the special educator can integrate collaboratively into existing kindergarten and first-grade reading programs.
How Do You Keep Going?
Authors: McConnell Mary E. , Townsend Brenda L.
Published: December 2008

Jim arrived in September; eager to begin his first special education job in what he imagined to be an exciting multicultural environment. Before winter break, Jim told the principal he would not be returning. Sally was hired as a fill-time substitute teacher in January. At the end of the month, she informed the secretary that the school would need to find someone else. Molly had just completed her wiaster's in special education in December and was thrilled to receive a phone call about a midyear teaching position. She was so excited that she neglected to question why there was an opening in February, and the principal did not ofer an explanation. Molly had never quit anything in her life, but after 3 weeks with her new cluss, she was more discouraged than she could remember ever being. It bad been a particularly difficult day, and she needed someone to talk to. As she wandered dejectedly toward the copy room, Molly noticed Sylvia, a veteran teacher who appeared to be whistling as she posted papers and wrote assignments on the board. "Do you have a few minutes?" asked Molly. Sylvia ofered a welcoming smile, invited Molly in, and asked, "How's it going?" Molly felt the loodgate open and poured out her+strations: Sam and Juan can't read and don't seem to care. I don't know what I did to Alice, but I'm sure she hates me. Mei-Shu and Ly-Ching speak Chinese about me and laugh. Larry steals, Sean bullies, and Mikala arrives whenever she pleases. It doesn't do any good t o call their parents. Either they don't have a phone, don't speak English, or act like I'm accusing them of something. I do haveseveral students who desperately want to learn, but I am so overwhelmed by the chaos that it feels like I never actually get t o instruction. Sylvia's empathetic eyes. Then, Molly pleaded, "You've been here a long time, yet you don't appear discouraged. As a matter offdct, you seem quite happy. In the fdce of such demands, how do you keep going? Molly stopped and looked into
Some Methods Are More Effective Than Others
Authors: Lloyd John Wills , Forness Steven R. , Kavale Kenneth A.
Published: December 2008

Many different methods have been developed to remediate problems of students with disabilities. Research studies evaluating the relative effectiveness of such practices can be overwhelming to educators because of the sheer number of studies—hundreds—as well as the conflicting results produced by some investigations. In this article, we use meta-analyses to make sense of this research, offering general guidelines for best practice in special education.
Curriculum-Based Assessment
Authors: Jones Eric D. , Southern W. Thomas , Brigham Frederick J.
Published: December 2008

Over the last 15 years empirical studies have documented positive effects resulting from the use of curriculum-based assessment (CBA) procedures on the achievement of students with special education needs. Several approaches to CBA are described in the literature. Although there have been discussions of distinctions that should be made between different approaches to CBA, some common features contribute substantially to the instructional value of CBA procedures. In this article we discuss the features of CBA that are common to all approaches and that appear to contribute most to instructional effectiveness.
