09/15/2004: "Special Ed Article"


Touching, challenging essay in the NY Times Magazine this week.

Highlights many of the issues I'm presently grappling with in a chapter:

1. who will advocate for inclusion and proper special education?
2. how do you institutionalize changes in school programming?
3. how do you fund programs when there is minimal political will to do so?
4. how has the meaning of "segregation" changed? what are the different ways it has been used?


God bless this family- may they continue to push for better systems for Thomas and all children.

Cerebral diseases are growing these days!! Due to: fast life style, decreasing of society values, rise of personal focus etc. It's sad to see the downfall of human. The deep chasm between the worldly growth and pious growth is main reason for all this. Due to this most of the people (adult and teenagers) are suffer from anxiety disorders There are so called medicines like xanax,valium , Zoloft which may probably help give temporary relief to patients suffering from anxiety disorders. . But does the answer really lie in these medicines?Almost certainly NO!. I would inform such patients to help themselves with yoga and meditation.
