Mental incapacity is a possibility, while death is a certainty. For that reason, it is often...

Earlier this year, I took part in a seminar at a library; as I was about to leave, I heard the presenter talking about a program called the Assistive Devices Program (ADP). If you are like me, you want to know of any way in which you can save money. I was therefore intrigued by the little I heard about this program and vowed to get more information on the topic. As I thought about it more, it occurred to me that, surely, people who could benefit from this program must know about it. Recently however, I came across a letter from a diabetic patient, stating that she could have saved $1,500 "had she applied for the ADP coverage sooner". I know how difficult times are for some people these days, so...

Wisconsin autism activists felt years of effort pay off last year when Gov. Jim Doyle issued an emergency rule requiring insurance coverage of autism spectrum disorders. The emergency rule, which went into effect Nov. 1, mandates autism coverage for health insurance policies issued by an insurer. The rule does not apply to employers with self-funded health plans. The rule lasts for a year while the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance comes up with a permanent rule.

As autism diagnoses grew in the 1990s and first decade of this century, so did the variety of...

And, most of the time, the decision to mainstream, or to use the residential programs, is made without the input from other experienced parents with deaf children. Those parents/children could offer a wealth of information...

You've graduated from college with a teaching degree and you've worked with students in the past. So, WHY are you nervous? It's those pesky little questions, isn't it?

You might be afraid you won't know how to answer a question about differentiation, IEPs, ELL...
