An inside look at the failing Deaf program, as well as the consequences of long term damage from the Least Restrictive Environment Mandate. The focus is on several deaf students, and 'Emma', a star character for the need of L.R.E. mandate reform. Real life situational cases were observed and several problematic issues, especially within the public school system and their inclusive program, were addressed. An excerpt-- ""A tip for primary caretakers: I.D.E.A. favors the whole placement of a child, rather than the educational aspect for the child alone. To maximize deaf children's education, apply the law section 504 and register A.S.L. as the students' primary language on the I.E.P. This clause will force the school to hire certified and educated A.S.L. interpreters.
This is the story of a teacher of deaf students who quits in protest at ineffective educational policies. Lael, herself born deaf, exposes us to the confused, inferior, sometimes hostile educational conditions under which too many deaf children suffer today.--Adapted from description on back cover.
Some people make a difference by simply being who they are, providing a spiritual haven for others. Lydia Nelson is such a person. When people are with her, they have a clearer sense of themselves. In Lydia, Book Two of The Haverford Trilogy, the problems of a family in a small town mirror the stress—and danger—of modern life.
