Making Medicaid Work MSC 25

According to many studies, children and adolescents with serious mental , emotional or behavioral disorders are poorly served by the various public agencies charged with their care. These youngsters have multiple problems and often require, in addition to intensive mental health care, services from education, child welfare, juvenile justice and other child serving agencies. Medicaid is one potential source of reimbursement for many of the services. In the past three or four years, states have learned that, for low-income children who qualify, a good Medicaid program can provide reimbursement for most of the mental health services in a community-based system of care. This report shows how Medicaid can cover components of a community-based system of care, including what are sometimes termed "family preservation services."

Mom I Have a Staring Problem: The True Story of Petit Mal Seizures & LD SD 08

Moose: A Very Special Person DS 06

"So often in the past, we have ignored the potential of a group of people we label 'the handicapped.' By ignoring their potential, we lessen our own. This phenomena can be vividly seen in the life of Moose. Moose was welcomed into a loving family who resisted the advice of others to place him in an institution for the mentally retarded. Nevertheless, in their own concern for his well-being, they expected too little of him. Taught by society that a Down's syndrome child was helpless, Moose's parents raised him without challenging him to develop new skills and new ways of reaching out to others. But Moose's' own inventiveness and his parents' willingness to learn from him enriched the lives, not only of Moose and his family, but of all those who encountered Moose's specialness."

Mothers Talk About Learning Disabilities LD 06

Introduction by the author: "I wrote this book for me. I am the mother of two boys: Mark is now fourteen and Greg is twelve. When I discovered that my children had learning problems, they were still very young. At the time, more than anything else, I wanted to speak with other mothers. I felt such hurt and confusion - indeed, such a jumble of strong emotions - that I desperately wanted to hear from other mothers who had children with similar problems. I yearned for their words of advice and understanding. However, I did not know any. As a write, my next thought was to go to the library. There I found shelves and shelves of books y educators and professionals. The things they recommended for a parent to do seemed endless. While technical jargon and advice on manipulatives abounded, I could not find a single book by a mother. I wanted to hear from mothers because I felt that only another mother could really understand what I was feeling. I wanted to know if, in fact, my feelings were abnormal, excessive, or out-of-line. I wanted to know if other women found their relations with their husbands suddenly under strain, as I did. I wanted to know if the problems seemed to pervade their homes, as they did my home. I wanted to help myself cope with the day-to-day frustrations, and I wanted to get myself to a place where I felt less ambivalent and less in conflict about my proper expectations for my children, as well as myself. So, it is out of my own turmoil and uncertainty that this book was born.
