The new school year is well underway, and you may be searching for some SPED-related help. This month's issue of Special Needs Monthly provides a wealth of resources to help you with IEPs, ADD, and SPED issues.
October is School Safety Month. We all know that safety is an increasingly important issue in our schools, but it may require particular attention in the special needs classroom. Learn how to keep your students and classroom safe.
TeacherVision® has an exciting new offering we call Books on the Run. We think you'll appreciate the convenience and time savings it makes possible, as well as its affordable pricing. Preview some sample pages and see for yourself.
This issue of Special Needs Monthly also contains tax information for teachers, including details about a new tax law you should know about - it can help you save as much as $250 on this year's tax bill!

| MISSING CHILDREN |
|
|
Thousands of children are abducted every year. As teachers, you come into contact with hundreds of children daily. Please take a few minutes to view the photos on our Missing Children Page. The more teachers that see these missing children, the better the chance that one or more of them will be returned home safely. Pass this email on to every teacher you know, and ask them to bookmark / lesson-plans/lesson-14961.html. Together we can make a difference.
