Be sure that you comply with today’s laws about educating children with disabilities. This new resource brings you completely up to date!
Getting Comfortable with Special Education Law:  
A Framework for Working with Children with Disabilities, Second Edition
Dixie Snow Huefner University of Utah

Here's practical, hands-on help for understanding what Federal law requires schools to provide to students with disabilities — easy to follow information on IDEA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Compliance with these laws is the sure way to keep educators out of trouble and empower them to know when to use their own judgment. You need this information.

Clearly written, easy to understand, and comprehensive, this new guide gets you up to speed on special education law. It's a comprehensive introduction to the critical topics every educator needs to know in today’s changing educational climate. Not a cookbook or a quick fix, but rather a valuable resource of guidelines and strategies for preventing problems, this book is a "must-have" manual for anyone dealing with children with disabilities — teachers, administrators, and parents alike.

"Since the rules for special education seem to constantly change — now with the impact of NCLB — an updated version of the text will be welcomed. Certainly, it will be useful as a textbook for those who are preparing to be principals, but I also see it being useful in inservice classes for classroom teachers. From a practitioner’s viewpoint, it can serve as a refresher and as a handbook for issues that seem to come up daily . . . . Also, parents will be able to obtain a basic working knowledge of special education law. . . ." — John C. Fagan, Superintendent of the Oak Park School District, IL
