Differences Between IDEA Part C and IDEA Part B Eligibility and Service Delivery Policies: Differences Between IDEA Part C and IDEA Part B This document provides a snapshot overview of IDEA Part C and IDEA Part B policies in the following areas: Eligibility Criteria, Eligibility Determination, Types of Services, Service Settings, Service Recipients, Parental Rights, and System of Payments. It is intended as a resource to support transition between these programs for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Hearing impairment means an impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance but that is not included under the definition of deafness in this section. 4. Multiple disabilities mean concomitant impairments (such as mental retardation-blindness or mental retardation-orthopedic impairment), the combination of which causes such severe educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for one of the impairments. Multiple disabilities does not include deaf-blindness. For a child to be eligible for Part B services, the child must (1) have a disability (i.e., meet eligibility requirements) and (2) be in need of special education and related services. A team of qualified professionals and the parent of the child shall make the determination of eligibility and determine the educational needs of the child.

  • State of New Physics in B->S Transitions
    New physics in b ! s transitions after LHC run 1 Wolfgang Altmannshofera and David M. Straubb a Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, 31 Caroline St. N, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 2Y5 b Excellence Cluster Universe, TUM, Boltzmannstr. 2, 85748 Garching, Germany E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] We present results of global fits of all relevant experimental data on rare b s decays. We observe significant tensions between the Standard Model predictions! and the data. After critically reviewing the possible sources of theoretical uncer- tainties, we find that within the Standard Model, the tensions could be explained if there are unaccounted hadronic effects much larger than our estimates. Assuming hadronic uncertainties are estimated in a sufficiently conservative way, we discuss the implications of the experimental results on new physics, both model indepen- dently as well as in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model and models with flavour-changing Z0 bosons. We discuss in detail the violation of lepton flavour universality as hinted by the current data and make predictions for additional lepton flavour universality tests that can be performed in the future. We find that the ratio of the forward-backward asymmetries in B K∗µ+µ− and B K∗e+e− at low dilepton invariant mass is a particularly sensitive! probe of lepton! flavour universality and allows to distinguish between different new physics scenarios that give the best description of the current data.

  • Grading System the Grades of A, B, C, D and P Are Passing Grades
    Grading System The grades of A, B, C, D and P are passing grades. Grades of F and U are failing grades. R and I are interim grades. Grades of W and X are final grades carrying no credit. Individual instructors determine criteria for letter grade assignments described in individual course syllabi. Explanation of Grades The quality of performance in any academic course is reported by a letter grade, assigned by the instructor. These grades denote the character of study and are assigned quality points as follows: A Excellent 4 grade points per credit B Good 3 grade points per credit C Average 2 grade points per credit D Poor 1 grade point per credit F Failure 0 grade points per credit I Incomplete No credit, used for verifiable, unavoidable reasons. Requirements for satisfactory completion are established through student/faculty consultation. Courses for which the grade of I (incomplete) is awarded must be completed by the end of the subsequent semester or another grade (A, B, C, D, F, W, P, R, S and U) is awarded by the instructor based upon completed course work. In the case of I grades earned at the end of the spring semester, students have through the end of the following fall semester to complete the requirements. In exceptional cases, extensions of time needed to complete course work for I grades may be granted beyond the subsequent semester, with the written approval of the vice president of learning. An I grade can change to a W grade only under documented mitigating circumstances. The vice president of learning must approve the grade change.

  • Alphabets, Letters and Diacritics in European Languages (As They Appear in Geography)
    1 Vigleik Leira (Norway): [email protected] Alphabets, Letters and Diacritics in European Languages (as they appear in Geography) To the best of my knowledge English seems to be the only language which makes use of a "clean" Latin alphabet, i.d. there is no use of diacritics or special letters of any kind. All the other languages based on Latin letters employ, to a larger or lesser degree, some diacritics and/or some special letters. The survey below is purely literal. It has nothing to say on the pronunciation of the different letters. Information on the phonetic/phonemic values of the graphic entities must be sought elsewhere, in language specific descriptions. The 26 letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z may be considered the standard European alphabet. In this article the word diacritic is used with this meaning: any sign placed above, through or below a standard letter (among the 26 given above); disregarding the cases where the resulting letter (e.g. å in Norwegian) is considered an ordinary letter in the alphabet of the language where it is used. Albanian The alphabet (36 letters): a, b, c, ç, d, dh, e, ë, f, g, gj, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, nj, o, p, q, r, rr, s, sh, t, th, u, v, x, xh, y, z, zh. Missing standard letter: w. Letters with diacritics: ç, ë. Sequences treated as one letter: dh, gj, ll, rr, sh, th, xh, zh.

Reports are not to be reproduced or published in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, without written permission. Report Summary Yogesh Joshi , Liye Ma, William Rand, and Louiqa Raschid investigate how activity in digital social media, by new and established brands, relates to engagement with consumers, and eventually, sales. Their dataset includes two years of Twitter activity and offline concerts for several musical bands, and the corresponding social media activity of the bands’ followers. In addition to measuring volume (that is, number of tweets sent per unit of time), the authors use machine learning methods to analyze message sentiment and informational content. They also collect A.C. Nielsen sales data for all albums released by these bands. They investigate the characteristics and evolution of consumers' engagement (propensity to tweet in response to a band’s tweets as well as propensity to send informational or emotional tweets) using a hidden Markov model. They relate engagement to sales via a generalized diffusion model. Findings Overall, the authors find that band actions in social media generate interest and change in engagement levels of their followers, and these engagement levels have a positive association with sales.

General Information The Latin script1 or Roman script is a major writing system of the world today, and the most widely used in terms of number of languages and number of speakers, with circa 70% of the world’s readers and writers making use of this script2 (Wikipedia). Historically, it is derived from the Greek alphabet, as is the Cyrillic script. The Greek alphabet is in turn derived from the Phoenician alphabet which dates to the mid-11th century BC and is itself based on older scripts. This explains why Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share some letters, which may become relevant to the ruleset in the form of cross-script variants. The Latin alphabet itself originated in Italy in the 7th Century BC. The original alphabet contained 21 upper case only letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, Z, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V and X.

  • Early On: Differences in Part C & Part B Services
    Booklet #2 Differences in Part C (Birth to 3) & Part B (3 to 5 Years) Services Early On… Guiding parents of infants and toddlers with special needs through the steps of early intervention supports and services in Wyoming Parent Information Center 500 W. Lott St, Suite A, Buffalo, WY 82834 (307) 684-2277 www.wpic.org -- 1 - Funding for this publication was provided, in part, by the Wyoming Department of Health, Early Intervention and Education Program. “Early On...” is a publication of the Parent Information Center, a project of Parents Helping Parents of WY, Inc., funded by the US Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. Views expressed in this publication are not necessarily those of the US Department of Education. - 2 - What are the Parts? The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal law that governs special education services…and there’s a lot to it! In fact, there are four different parts to IDEA: Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D. Part A lays out the basic foundation and covers general provisions and Part D covers national activities to improve education of children with disabilities. Parts B and C govern the provision of services for children with disabilities. The differences between Parts B and C is what this booklet will address. Part C applies specifically to infants and toddlers, ages birth through age 2, while Part B is for children ages 3 to 21 years of age. If your family is receiving early intervention services through infant and toddler programs under Part C, planning for the transition to Part B will happen before your child’s 3rd birthday.
