| board certified advocate in special education: Transforming Special Education Through Artificial Intelligence Walters, Annette G., 2024-10-25 Special education encounters distinct challenges in delivering personalized and practical assistance to students with disabilities. Educators frequently require support to address the varied needs of these students, resulting in learning and development gaps. Moreover, early identification and catering to these needs can take time and effort, affecting students' long-term academic success. There is an urgent need for innovative solutions that can bridge these gaps and improve the educational experiences of students with disabilities. Transforming Special Education Through Artificial Intelligence offers a comprehensive exploration of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform special education by providing personalized and individualized support for students with disabilities. Through case studies and real-life examples, we demonstrate how AI can analyze data to tailor learning experiences, and most importantly, identify learning difficulties early.

| board certified advocate in special education: Education and Science in the Best Interest of the Child Christopher K. Slaton EdD, 2016-11-29 Search for Policy We have confirmed through our October 11, 2016, building human assets meeting with the California Department of Education that there is no federal or state policy in place to address the eligibility status of children from a family history of suffering from substance abuserelated disorders. Hence, the Building Human Assets Project Human Systems Research in Education study is in an area not covered by federal or state laws or regulations. This is why a new scientific approach is needed in the best interest of the child. To the benefit of all children, the Individuals with Disabilities Act was reauthorized and signed into law on December 3, 2004 as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, Public Law 108-446. This includes several requirements effective July 1, 2005, which calls for states to establish policies and regulations that require referral for early intervention services of a child under the age of three who is identified as affected by illegal substance abuse or withdrawal symptoms resulting from parental drug exposure (Section 637[a][6][B]). This relates to the anatomy of the child suspected of suffering from a family history of substance abuserelated disorders The Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003 was intended to add new requirements under the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 2004, to include the requirement that states have policies and procedures in place which require health care providers to notify Child Protective Services of infants born and identified as being affected by illegal substance abuse or withdrawal symptoms that result from prenatal drug exposure. Hence, the educational implications for children inflicted with disorders as a result of exposure to drugs in the utero. Early intervention and treatment is a basic need. The 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) shifts federal accountability provisions to the states. ESSA is the law that governs the United States K-12 public education policy, and replaces the No Child Left Behind Act through the reauthorization of the 1965 elementary and secondary education Act (ESEA). ESEA established the American federal governments expanded role in funding education in the best interest of the child. This is the sense through which the words the family community engagement reflects on the compelling needs of the child, the family, and the community. |
