What are three groups of students who need special supports but who are NOT eligible for services under IDEA? How does this ineligibility affect the education of these groups of students?
What will be an ideal response?
IDEA does not provide for special education for students who are gifted, those with ADHD, or those who are at risk for school failure. Students who are gifted are currently not entitled, by federal legislation, to special education, despite the need for special instruction. ADHD is not, by itself, a disability category. Many students with ADHD receive support through the provisions of Section 504 and some students with ADHD may receive special education services when their disorder is significant enough that they are identified as other health impaired (OHI). At risk students may be homeless, abuse drugs or other substances, live in poverty, or have any of hundreds of other characteristics that can negatively affect their learning. These students need the attention of caring and skillful teachers who can set high expectations, teach in a way that maximizes student potential, and instill in students the love of learning.
