Special Education:
- increase knowledge, improve delivery through research
- disseminate information about laws affecting special education
- National institute on disabilities and rehabilitation research
● Goals:
○ identify cause to find solution and minimize negative effects of disabilities
○ reduce physical and social barriers
● Mechanisms:
○ manage programs
○ disseminate information about special education and research results
○ promote use of assistive technology
○ promote coordination of federal agencies

Specialists should come in and organize a series of workshops to help students better understand disabilities and how they affect peoples lives.In doing so it’ll not only raise awareness to find factors to look so kids could pointed out and diagnois if they have something soooner rather than later.

All teachers should be trained in special education teaching @professional development who decides what is taught at prof develop coordinate with special ed teachers currently only 51.9 percent coordinate w/
Special Education requirements for teachers. Teachers need to have the knowledge of non discriminatory evaluation ,placement and evaluation,criteria,parental participation, individual education components, related services, least restrictive, environment due process proceedings, and suspension expulsion procedures. Teachers need to provide an inclusive setting, that promotes equality and centers on the best practices for creating successful and sustainable lessons for people with disabilities.

Defibrillators:
Every teacher and staff should be trained in CPR and how to use defibrillators. Students should be trained on how to react and what to do in time of emergencies like heart attacks and other health related issues."The greatest chance for full recovery will be when the person's heart is restarted as soon as possible," - Dr. Persse of Houston's Emergency Medical Services.

Defibrillator contest in SEATTLE 18 or older lasts one month first prize wins $10,000 TEAM or INDIVIDUAL who finds the most defibrillators at the end of the contest once 500 are found the purpose of the contest is to help researchers generate a map of all AEDs in Seattle so first responders can tell 911 callers where to locate one in the event of an emergency.

Defibrillator: two pads, adhesives, wires that connect the pads to the main unit, and the main unit itself, and the machine can assess the current conditions of the patient They’re important because without the circulation when the heart stops beating then it can causes damage to the brain 450,000 people suffer and die from sudden cardiac arrest per year about 7% of SCA victims are under 30 years old and half of those cases are under 8 blows to the chest can stop the heart- having defibrillators on site can restart the heart faster than having to go to the ER AED are a critical part in preventing death from sudden cardiac arrest within the critical treatment window.
