The new IDEA 1997 promises higher expectations for children with educational disabilities. The general curriculum must be accessed to the maximum extent possible. Parents have opportunities for participation. Appropriate special education and related services, aids, and supports must be planned in the regular education classroom. Technical and media services must be coordinated.
Professionals receive high-quality development.
About 2 students are disabled. Clearly, the teacher is handed an impossible assignment. For dyslexic students, and all students, integrated study is recommended. With technology, this is easily achieved through fun, interactive, multi-media computer programs, video, and presentation devices. Integrated learning means that all of the facets of a time frame are considered, and study is made of how each component serves to influence the others.
