Matthew T Collier: Empowering Parents of Children in Special Education, Gebunden

Klappentext

Intended to be used by parents of children with disabilities being served in America's special education system, this book ensures that parents are knowledgeable and engaged enough to effectively advocate for their child.

It covers the most essential aspects of special education planning and implementation, including reviewing a history of special education and parental advocacy, how students are referred and evaluated, IEP and IFSP development practices, the types of services special education offers, and planning for post-high school life.

Written in an accessible tone to help parents grasp some of these complex topics, this book also includes frequently asked questions, common disputes with solutions, how to keep important documents organized, state extensions to the IDEA (the special education law), and helpful resources such as a glossary and acronyms.
