Special Education Budget in Stimulus Bill

Education in and of it's self is such an important aspect of childrens lives, this is what helps to shape a child into who they will become. Education in the past few years has been slowly slipping through the seems as the economy has been going down, with Education slipping away Special Education Programs has been continually slipping away. Special Education is something that is very close to, being an aide in a classroom with children with special needs is something that is so very rewarding, but yet can be so stressful at times. Working with these children is something that is so special, but with budget cuts the appropraite measures and staffing is slowly slipping away for these programs. With the economic stimulus package in plan, education seems to be a major part of what President Obama is hoping to regain with this package. With this stiumulus package a portion of the money set aside for education, is planned to be put into the programs for Special Education. With this proper staffing and programs can be put into place for children whom need this. Infants and Toddlers are often looked away from because money is spent more on children in grammar school, but things need to be done to help young children begin to work on their skills needed. A woman by the name of Kim Hymes, is putting in place policies to begin to help children at a young age to get into programs such as early intervention. With this stimulus package, I personally hope to see that they will pass laws to ensure that Special Education programs will be given money to help children with special needs.
