Handicapped study
is subject of grant
By Lynn Roberts
Special needs of handicapped cliildren in the classroom will be
the focus of a $40,000 grant awarded to the UN-L Teachers
College.
The grant, given by the Bureau of Education for the
Handicapped, will finance training for school administrators and
teachers in "mainstreaming" programs.
Roger Burning, administrator of the program, said
mainstreaming is a term used to mean the process of integrating
handicapped children into a normal classroom situation.
Skills necessary
The first phase of the project will be determining what skills are
necessary in working with handicapped children, said Bruning,
educational psychology professor in Teachers College.
This will be done by setting up an advisory council of parents of
handicapped children, teachers and specialists who work with
handicapped children, he said.
"Once we get an idea of our goals, we'll help faculty members
devise methods of instruction to carry them out," Bruning said.
Students coming from regular teaching programs don't havs
knowledge of special skills required to work with the handicapped
and the grant will allow attention to be focused on this, he said.
More integration
"The pendulum has swung way over to separating handicapped
children into special classes, but now it is swinging back to more
integration into the so-called normal classroom," Bruning said.
"The social effects on the handicapped can be really positive by
not segregating them but there are also a lot of problems in
Integrating them into regular classes," he said.
Don Sherrill, director.of special education with Lincoln public
schools, said there has been more emphasis in the past four years
on integrating the handicapped.
In Lincoln schools, children considered handicapped include
those with problems in hearing and seeing, those with mental and
emotional problems and those with orthopedic problems, Sherrill
Aren i skilled enough
He also said there has been problems in integrating the special
education classes for handicapped with the regular classes.
"We aren't always skilled enough to know when the children are
ready to be integrated," he said. "If we feel a child can benefit by
being placed in a regular classroom, we try to do this, but mistakes
are made."
Sherrill said teachers are often afraid of integrating handicapped
children and they don't think they know how to handle them.
"This is probably our fault in many cases, and we need to work
on convincing teachers that they can deal with the handicapped,"
he said, .' . . .
Special resource teachers who have been trained in handling
different types of handicaps are being used to make integration
smoother, he said. They are used in addition to the regular
