Synopsis

Special education law is more than a legal specialty niche. Special education laws govern eligibility, IEPs, evaluations, placement, educational progress, transition plans, discipline, and educational records - and are vitally important to parents of disabled children, educators, child advocates, school psychologists, health care providers, and school administrators.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Peter and Pamela Wright accomplish several goals in this comprehensive reference book. They provide an overview of law and special education law, along with the full text of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and implementing regulations. They include a casebook of special education decisions by the U. S. Supreme Court, including Florence County School District IV v. Shannon Carter and the recent decision in Cedar Rapids v. Garret F. Woven through the book are clear, concise definitions, information about educational research, and practical tips about how to deal with school officials.

This book is a useful reference for experienced attorneys and for non-lawyer parents and educators.

From the Author:

Raising a child with a disability is physically, emotionally and financially exhausting. Parents fight school bureaucracies for special education services. In Wrightslaw: Special Education Law, we teach you how to use the law as your sword and your shield.
