Special Needs Resources, Programs and Indicator 13 Compliance

Special education is the individually planned and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment, materials, accessible settings, and other interventions designed to help students with special needs achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success.

Often, students with special needs, such as learning difficulties or differences, mental health and/or behavioral challenges, physical or mental disabilities, as well as gifted students will prosper with the use of the proper educational, vocational and teaching products and plans.

Teaching programs and software for special educators, professionals and paraprofessionals help to prosper special and regular needs children and young adults. Understanding and determining which special education programs and assessment resources are right for your students can be difficult at best. Planning and placement programs that are proven effective and that also meet government standards is what most administrators look for when purchasing academic and career programs. Administrators and teachers simply don't know what programs are relevant and effective until they've utilized them and often rely on word of mouth or seminars to introduce them to new special education products. Most however will agree that working with a company that offers longevity as well as continued support for the teaching professional and their students should be at the forefront of the decision making process.

Unfortunately, administrators and teachers often find it difficult to find special education programs that are tailored for the special needs student or young adult that also meet certain standards such as Indicator 13 compliancy. Transitioning special needs students into the real world or higher grade levels is an educator's goal. Providing access to career training and transitioning occurs through assessment, exploration and special education training programs and it is necessary for the success of the special needs student. Choosing compliant products and programs to aid in the transitioning of your special and regular needs student not only ensures that you are considering The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), but compliant products reflect upon the company who distributes them.

From practical assessment exploration systems to planning, placement and transitioning the special needs student, administrators need not be challenged in finding these resources. Tracking academic and career goals and work development and organizing school to career plans and portfolios doesn't have to be difficult for the teacher or student. Administrators generally prefer special education programs that offer a unique approach for assessing students with behavioral issues and /or specific disabilities. Additionally, regular needs students in elementary, middle school and high school will equally benefit from programs that are streamlined and compliant.

E-planners, and e-portfolios for use in career development courses for special needs and regular needs children should be student driven. This encourages student responsibility yet administrators must be able to customize the programs to suit the needs of the individual student or the classroom as a whole. ROADMAP is one such program that allows flexibility and it can also store and edit confidential IEP, ITP, and SOP Data. Instructors can document and verify student performance and customize course requirements.

When transitioning the special needs student, most teachers would rather offer their student enhanced learning programs instead of relying on old and outdated methods. Teachers and students gain valuable insight when they opt for special education programs that promote awareness, personal strengths and increased aptitudes. PAES is one such program that encourages students to become as independent as possible. Students who complete PAES have a thorough knowledge of many job skills and have a better understanding of the real working world.
