STAT.

Subchapter V—Special Restorative Training § 1740. Purpose The purpose of special restorative training is to overcome, or lessen, the effects of a manifest physical or mental disability which would handicap an eligible person in the pursuit of a program of education. § 1741. Entitlement to special restorative training (a] The Administrator at the request of the parent or guardian of an eligible person is authorized— (1) to determine whether such person is in need of special restorative training; and (2) where need is found to exist, to prescribe a course which is suitable to accomplish the purposes of this chapter. Such a course, at the discretion of the Administrator, may contain elements that would contribute toward an ultimate objective of a program of education. (b) In no event shall the total period of educational assistance under this subchapter and other subchapters of this chapter exceed the amount of entitlement as established in section 1711 of this title. § 1742. Special training allowance (a) While the eligible person is enrolled in and pursuing a fulltime course of special restorative training, the parent or guardian shall be entitled to receive on his behalf a special training allowance computed at the basic rate of $110 per month. If the charges for tuition and fees applicable to any such course are more than $35 per calendar month the basic monthly allowance may be increased by the amount that such charges exceed $35 a month, upon election by the parent or guardian of the eligible person to have such person's period of entitlement reduced by one day for each $3.60 that the special training allowance paid exceeds the basic monthly allowance. (b) No payments of a special training allowance shall be made for the same period for which the payment of an educational assistance allowance is made or for any period during which the training is pursued on less than a full-time basis. (c) Full-time training for the purpose of this section shall be determined by the Administrator with respect to the capacities of the individual trainee. § 1743. Special administrative provisions (a) In carrying out his responsibilities under this chapter the Administrator may by agreement arrange with public or private educational institutions or others to provide training arrangements as may be suitable and necessary to accomplish the purposes of this subchapter. In any instance where the Administrator finds that a customary tuition charge is not applicable, he may agree on the fair and reasonable amounts which may be charged the parent or guardian for the training provided to an eligible person. (b) The Administrator shall make such rules and regulations as he may deem necessary in order to promote good conduct on the part of the persons who are following courses of special restorative training and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this chapter. Subchapter VI—Miscellaneous Provisions § 1761.
