Special education has become highly litigated, and it’s important that special education teachers, administrators and staff know the requirements of these laws. Straightforward and accessible, The Law and Special Education helps you understand the legal obligations for special education professionals in providing a free, appropriate public education for disabled students. It walks you through the history and current developments of special education law, along with the resources needed to develop legally sound and educationally appropriate special education programs.
The 6th Edition has been reorganized to structure the content based on the historic sequence in the passing of special education laws. Updated and revised content throughout includes new cases from the federal courts, summaries of special education rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court, new policy letters, and much more.
