Overview

Whether your child has just been diagnosed with a disability, you're dissatisfied with the special education provided or you want to be sure your disabled child is receiving all possible benefits, this book can help you. Written by an attorney with firsthand experience navigating special education for her own child, this easy Real Life Legal(TM) guide gives you an insider's take on what you need to do to be the best advocate for your child. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that states provide a public education that takes into account your child's special needs, from preschool to adulthood. This guide will make it easy to understand how your child gets professionally evaluated to determine if he or she is entitled to a free, appropriated public education (FAPE), which is mandated for disabled students. Depending on your child's condition or illness, you may have already experienced quite a journey getting to the point of confirming a diagnosis. If you're in a tough situation and the school district isn't responsive, or you need to understand the administrative procedures that will impact getting your child what he or she needs and what the law requires, this book will help. We cover that all here. And make it easy to understand. Real Life Legal(TM) wants you to be prepared.
