Answer by LDTeacher
I have been a special educator for 30 ears EVERYTHING has impacted these kids!!
The tests that they are required to take have been changed, and the graduation requirements are very different. Hopefully, the tests reflect he needs and and basics that these kids need as adults. but the problem is that the LD or mildly MR kids are the ones who don’t get enough changes in their educational program.
They are expected to do everything that a “normal” kid is supposed to do w/o appropriate adaptions….the whole thing is un fair…there will always be kids who have special needs and just how can we help them??

Question by julygirl75038: Which person is dead? (For radio trivia)?
1. Betty Ford (Wife of former US president Gerald Ford, founded “The Betty Ford Center” for the treatment of alcoholism)

2. Joe Garagiola (Former catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, “Today Show” host, TV game show host, commentator)

3. Rex Reed (Film critic)

4. Bob Dole (Longtime US senator from Kansas, presidential candidate in 1996)
I tried Rex Reed for the radio trivia…..it was the incorrect answer…he’s still alive. Joe G was the answer for the radio trivia……even though he is still alive.
I checked the site www.deadoralive.com and it says that all of them are alive….so I guess this was an invalid question on the radio stations.

Question by Nick: Volunteering on the Salvation Army Website?
I was hoping to offer my time to volunteer somewhere. I’ve been looking to volunteer anywhere in downtown Chicago (I’ll take the train but I don’t mind walking since I like being in Chicago).

Anyways, what I did was put the zip code in at the top (one of the Chicago zips – 60602) and I got to this:

http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/ndos/app/zipcode.jsf?zip=60602

Looking at this page, my best guess would be that I need to Email the people involved and ask them when volunteers are needed? So, I guess my question is just to confirm that. What do you guys think?

Also, what does “Adult Rehabilitation” refer to? Is that detox.
