This is a good basic introduction to the complicated area of special education law. The principals are discussed and illustrated in real life situations. Relevance to IDEA, ADA, and NCLB are integrated. This is a great resource for teachers and parents of special needs children.
The book itself is well written but failed to keep my interest as it was not my favorite class (read this for a special education class). With that said I gave it 4 stars because although it wasn't interesting for me, I was able to get an A in the class and that was partially due to my ability to get through the book without issue. I'm certified to teach special education and secondary education.
I purchased this book for a graduate course. It might be the most comprehensive law book available for special education. This book explains the history of why we have special education law and then goes on to explain where we currently are and why. When you need to know the laws, this is your reference.
I have only read three chapters so far, but I have enjoyed reading this book. The chapters are short, but they pack a punch--very informative about Special Education Laws and where they originated. I only purchased the book because of a class I am taking, but I recommend this book to anyone with a curiosity about the subject.
