Special Education services
The Education Committee of
the Huron County Board of
Education tabled a report. of a
meeting held October 18 in
connection with a brief tabled at
the Board's October meeting, by
Joan. Van den Broeck of Goderich.
That brief had presented some
questions and criticisms of the
"Special Education" servides
available in Huron.
According to the report, the
October 18 meeting was' held to
"assist Mrs. Van den Broeck to
arrive at an understanding'
regarding the depth of program
now actiye within the Huron
County school system."
When asked by' R.B. Allan,
SUperintendent of Education, to
identify her number one priority,
she explained that reading• was a
real concern to ,her and the way
children are being taught to read
(how • reading , difficulties are
being approached) and-use of the
phonetic system. Mrs. Van den
Broeck told the meeting parents
were confused and do not know
how to discuss the problems.
Superintendent of Education
J.W. Coulter explained that the
Ministry approves a set of books
in Toronto and the schools are
then free to use any one. The
Huron system uses a variety, he
said.
• He went on to explain the
sight-phonetics Methods and
illustrated pupil progress compar-
isons on the blackboard...He said
there was strong emphasis on
reading but that this was only a
small part of learning and that 45
per cent of the time one is
communicating' one is listening.
R.E. Smith, Superintendent of ,
Education, described different
ways of learning, such as forming
words by using flash cards. He
said teachers can use some sight
and some sign material' combined
together.
Mrs. Van den Broeck
expressed concern over the sight-
sound use together and indicated
she was more enthused by the use
of phonetics. She cited examples
from her own child. Mr. Coulter
told her that tie methl yet •
developed suited everyone and
Mrs. fla Keyes, Co-ordinator of
Student Services agreed saying
that the two must be combined to
teach the language.
The rising number of student
requiring assistance came under
discussion at the meeting, and
the fact that the teaching staff
had not increased correspond-
ingly, Mr. Allan explained that
overall enrolments had been
dropping and would continue to
drop • but the number of staff is
up, leaving additional aid in
spe cial education areas.
-Board member Dorothy
Wallace inquired 'as to the,
success of the remedial prbgrain
in secondary schools. Mr. Ken-
well said that in the 1971-72 term
t1wBoard had hired• one remedial
reading teacher who spent his
time in all five schools. Because
of the interest in reading, there
was now one teacher in each
school working in this area.
While measuring success is
difficult, he said, the number of
• students remaining in school
should tend to indicate that the
high school program has been
successful.
Mrs. Van den Broeck also
asked what programs could be
established beyond testing to
assist slow readers and slow
learners. She felt there were
many different methods used in
remedial work.
Mrs. Kayes said the• Board trys
"to find out what skills the child
leeks and to build one skill at a
time, this is the way we start. We
want the child .to have success at
the beginning."
Mr. Coulter also explained that
each school has a student
services follow-up procedure and
that there is follow up action.
It was also pointed out that the
report from Student Services is
available in the school, for anyone
connected with the child to see
and that Student 'Services
'personnel go into the school to
discuss the report with the
teacher. The teacher, remedial
teacher and principal• are present
•
Mrs. Van den Broeck also
wondered about the area and
numbers of children who require
assistance and Mrs. Kayes
explained that this assistance is
Mostly required from kindergar-
„ten to grade three. Probably 90
per cent of the students, by the
time they have finished grade
three, have contact with one of
the people connected with
speech, and remedial claSses;
Mrs. Eleanor Scott, principal of
Huron Hope School, said she felt
the educators in Special Services
in Huron County should be
commended for their efforts and
accomplishments. It was also
pointed out that other areas had
sent representatives into the
Huron system to learn its
methods.
Mrs. Van den 'Broeck however,
felt there was a gap between
parental understanding of what
parents see and what is actually
being done within the system.
She asked the Board' if it would
continue to upgrade services. Mr.
Elliott pointed out that the
services had been •updated every
year and "there will be a number
of areas of concern to receive
additional attention."
When Mrs. Van den Broeck
brought up the question of liaison
with parents, repreientatives of
Special Services pointed out that
this had already been tried on
several occasions "with poor
results." According to Mrs.
Kayes "parents simply did not
come out to meetings."
The report tabled before the
Board on- Monday noted that
"Concerned parents can become
acquainted with the system's
practices by inquiring."
"It is, to be hoped that Mrs.
Van den Broeck now finds herself
to be more generally informed,,
with the realization that Huron'
County definitely does have a
Special. Education program - and
a good one. Materials, assistance
and 'guidance are available to
parents who require them. One,
only has to ask."•
