"Schooled in Sports" By Bryan Toporek July 13, 2015 Banning headers in high school soccer may not be the most effective way to limit concussions among players, suggests a study published online in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, as athlete-to-athlete contact was at fault far more often.

By Rae Jacobson September 1, 2015 "I learn differently." Three small words that can make a world of difference for kids like me who grew up struggling with learning issues. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong. Disclosing her learning difference to teachers, peers, and employers will help your child build strong self-advocacy skills and get the help and support she'll need to succeed. But for a lot of kids, opening up isn't as easy as it sounds. From the HuffPost Healthy Living Blog

Across the country, only 17.7 percent of middle and high schools start classes after 8:30 a.m., contrary to 2014 recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

By Michael Dorfman, Esq. May 12, 2015 Being told that your child no longer qualifies for some or all the current special education services that they are receiving elicits mixed emotions from parents. Sometimes the news from the school is greeted with excitement that your child has reached a level of achievement and independence that no longer necessitates the need for these services. The other reaction when delivered the news of termination of some or all services is fear, mortification and the belief that the decision by the school was subjective, and not based on a comprehensive evaluation process. This article will focus on the protections built into the law and the steps parents need to follow when they believe special education services should not have been limited or terminated. |
