IVMJK 8 - PLAIN DEALER - FRIDAY.

Litvin's new book, his ninth, tells the life story of the controversial senior activist, Ben Nicholas, and was officially published Sept 2. In a personal letter to Iitvin, Frank Freidel, whose multivolume biography is a much-acclaimed work, commented about litvin's new book and said, in part, "...it is beautifully written, has a lively style, is graphic and to the point...people like Ben Nicholas are an inspiration." Nicholas, 89, is credited with California 1970's the first udght-to- ture in the late s first -dignity" law. Separately, Litvin has accepted an invitation from the Johnsburg District 12 schools to undertake a two-week residency commencing Oct. 2 as a visiting writer. Litvin will present a series of motivational workshops in creative writing for selected students. The Crystal Lake Public Library has invited Litvin to do a special one-day, three-hour creative writing motivational workshop for adults Sunday, Oct. 9, commencing at 2:15 p.m. The program was arranged by Beverly Thomas, outreach librarian. When many people hear the term "special education" they immediately think of classroom and educational programs that are completely isolated from regular curriculum programs. In fact, this could not be further from the truth. All students are unique, and many students have additional learning needs that can range from very mild to severe in nature. As a result, special educational services for certain students may only entail seeing a specially trained teacher for a small portion of a school day or on an every-other-day basis while others may require a residential program. McHenry Community High School District 156 recognizes this individuality in students and has ^ established special education 'programs to accommodate those differences. In accordance With P.L. 94-142 assuring parents of all exceptional students a free, appropriate education (free defined as no cost to parents), District. 156 has developed programs organized on a level system. There are tyiree basic levels. Level I is for students who are educated in a self-contained environment, yet also attend those classes in the standard curriculum in which they can appropriately function. Level II represents an "alternative standard program" in which the curricular content and educational methods used by the teacher sure substantially changed. In this level, students move from class to class as any other student and receive an academic credit for successfully c o m p l e t i n g c o u r s e requirements. Level m is a resource program designed to provide tutorial, diagnostic and consultation services to identified students in the' mainstream. For those racial education programs that McHenry Community High School does not administer themselves, a request will be made to the Special Education District of McHenry County to provide services. Currently, District 136 tuitions students to several programs operated by SEDOM These programs are for students who are fundioning District 156 administers these with ~ various learning programs for students with impairments, including Behavioral disorders, learning moderate intellectual disabilities, or very mild • impairment, severe intellectual retardation conditions. The amount of time each student will sp^nd in these levels is contingent on their unique learning and-or social emotional needs.
