After having read several books concerning the special education laws I love this book. It is easy to read. It makes sense of everything. Best of all it is a fast read because the chapters are not full of too much material. JS

I bought this of my graduate course and I can tell it will be worth my while to keep this book as reference after completion, and becoming a sped teacher.

I read this for a special education law class and it is great for anyone who wants to work with students, with or without disabilities.

Great text, AWESOME content! After this class I wanted to stop serving in the instruction field and move to the litigation field on behalf of students with disabilities. Great class, great text!

This book is a great addition to any student or teacher wanting to get some overviews about laws relating to Special Education. Does not cover all laws but talks about IDEA, FAPE, 504, etc.

I am using this text for a survey class on special education law. It is helpful for that purpose. It provides a good survey of the topic, including pertinent legislature, court cases, etc.

I would recommend this book to all education staff. The information on case laws will shed light on many misconceptions you may have regarding students, parents and school liability.

This product tells you concerning all of the ins and outs of laws for students with disabilities. It is obviously a boring read but it is a good reference.
