Medicaid is NOT the Same Thing As Medicaid Waiver.
-If you are on the Medicaid Waiver, you are also
recieving Medicaid.
-Medicaid is health insurance.
-Medicaid Waiver helps people to live in the community by providing
some services that medicaid and other resources does not cover, such as adult day training or respite. |

Making the Educational Laws Work for You ![[Image of scales of justice, gavel and law books]](http://m1.rfbd.org/images/enews/oct2007/MakingTheLawWorkForYou_Gave.jpg)
Almost every time there is a story about special education in the news, two laws are
mentioned, the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Both of these laws are
long and complex, but contain valuable information for parents and teachers who are navigating through the special education
process. IDEA ensures that all students receive a free and appropriate public school education.
Some of the law’s main areas of focus are: Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), student placement, evaluations and
special education eligibility. For more information on IDEA, visit: U.S. Department of
Education Home Page:
http://www.ed.gov IDEA Partnership:
http://www.ideapartnership.org/ NCLB is a comprehensive education reform law that challenges the educational system to
use proven methodologies to: - Close the achievement gap between disadvantaged youth and their
non-disadvantaged peers - Be accountable for learning outcomes
- Provide parental choice
- Strengthen
teacher quality
Funding to support NCLB is specifically targeted for schools with
high populations of disadvantaged youth and those not demonstrating annual yearly progress. For more information about NCLB,
visit: U.S. Department of Education Home Page:
http://www.ed.gov No Child Left Behind Section of the US Department of Education Site:
http://www.ed.gov/nclb/landing.jhtml For more information on IDEA, NCLB and all special education law and advocacy, visit
