IDEA National Survey Project
Take part in the IDEA National Survey Project and share your special
education experiences!
The IDEA National Survey Project is sponsored by the National Center for
Learning Disabilities, National Down Syndrome Society, Autism Society of
America, Autism National Committee, and The Advocacy Institute. Our purpose
is to study whether the playing field is level for children with
disabilities and their parents, and whether their rights are protected.
The survey will examine whether parents are treated as equal partners in
their children's education. We ask questions about whether the rights of
students with disabilities and their parents protected throughout the
special education process, including IEP meetings, decisions about special
education, evaluations and eligibility, and Due Process and Impartial
Hearings. We also ask about inclusion and whether children with disabilities
receive the education they need, or whether they are deprived of important
services. We will be using your answers to compile a report about the
experiences of parents and children with disabilities and these issues. See
the survey Privacy Policy
http://www.advocacyinstitute.org/IDEASURVEY/policy.shtml for more
information.
All disabilities are welcome! The survey is not limited to the disabilities
on which the sponsoring organizations
<blockedhttp://www.advocacyinstitute.org/IDEASURVEY/sponsors.shtml> focus.
We are studying these issues as they affect all children with disabilities
and special needs. We also have surveys for all members of the community.

multiple-choice. The sentences are short, easy to read, and understand.
There is less detail. This short survey may be easier for some
self-advocates to use. All questions are also in the Comprehensive
Self-Advocates Survey. Click here

Mean What You Say and Say What You Mean with ACS Couples
Communication Seminars
It is no secret that men and women communicate differently. Sometimes
these differences can lead to huge misunderstandings which can cause
friction in a relationship. Whether you have been married for just a little while
or for several years, communication plays a vital role in all aspects of your
relationship. Army Community Service understands the impact that good
and poor communication can have on a relationship, and is inviting couples
to participate in a Couples’ Communication Seminar taking place April 18
from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Family Resource Center.
Using curriculum from several different programs and resources with a
primary influence from the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement
Program (PREP) out of the University of Denver, the seminar facilitators like
Marianne Erdman, are able to give couples a different perspective as to
what might really be going on when communication is lacking in a
relationship. The workshops include power point presentations, DVDs, videos
and natural, frank group discussions. Marianne states that workshop goers
are willing to discuss their situations because “whatever goes on in the
workshop stays in the workshop.”
The Couples’ Communication Seminars are open to all couples, other than
those involved in domestic violence, and usually are a good mix of all ranks
and marital lengths. This diversity allows for the couples that are struggling in
their marriage, couples that are getting accustomed to newlywed life, or
couples that want to ensure they are on the same page to learn off each
other by sharing what does and does not work for them. Hitting on why
communication is so important in relationships, Ms. Erdman pointed out,
“that if couples come away from the workshop really understanding that
good communication is the real key to getting your relationship to not only
survive, but to thrive, then the seminar accomplished what it is designed to
do.”
Limited child care is available for those with children. In order to utilize the
child care, the child must be registered with Child, Youth and School Services
(CYSS). Registration is required for the seminars and interested parties should
call (270) 412-5500 or 798-2045 for more information.
