Special education law is confusing to most parents, educators, and even to many attorneys. Although parents represent their child’s interests, few parents understand their rights and responsibilities. Many teachers have received inaccurate information about the law. Ignorance of the law can be as damaging as the child’s disability. 

What does the law say about evaluations and reevaluations? Test procedures? Eligibility? 

What does the law say about Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs) and IEP teams? IEP Goals, objectives, benchmarks? What does the law say about inclusion? Least restrictive environment? 

What does the law say about discipline? Positive behavioral intervention plans? Interim alternative placements? Manifestation Review Hearings? 

What does the law say about parent notice? Independent educational evaluations? Tuition reimbursement? Mediation? Due process? 

Where can you get answers to your questions about special education law? Look it up in Wrightslaw: Special Education Law. (ISBN: 1-892320-03-7; 386 pages; 1999; $29.95)

Pamela wrote: "What a wonderful book! You did a great job. I start teaching advocacy (under a private grant) in September. Have already filled out the bulk order form for board approval.  It's terrific to have all this in one place.  My briefcase just became much lighter.  For that you have my undying gratitude!"

Dego wrote: "I just received your book  Wright'slaw: Special Education Law. I must say, I wish I had this book 6 years ago - it is great! From now on, I have a book for reference regarding my son's situation and will check it when I have a meeting for my son. So many things have happened that shouldn't have happened because I didn't know about the laws so relied on the district's statements instead of checking things out on my own. Thanks for writing this book. Keep up the good work."
