Special Education Law, 3/E, provides a comprehensive and current overview of the major federal laws—and judicial interpretations of those laws—that apply to the education of children with disabilities. The text helps students understand what the law requires so that when they become educators, they can develop policies and make decisions that comply with these laws.

  • NEW - <F75BS>NEW! The most current information on special education statutes, regulations, and case law has been added, including substantial changes in the interpretation of this legislation.
  • NEW - <F75BS>UPDATED! Incorporates the most recent Supreme Court decisions, including the 1999 Garret F. case.
  • NEW - <F75BS>NEW! New cases that reflect the IDEA regulatory changes of 1999 have been added.
  • NEW - <F75BS>NEW! Chapter summaries, which are keyed to specific sections within the chapter, conclude Chapters 2-12.
  • A unique text link to the Internet (identified by an icon within each chapter) enables faculty to assign projects online, and allows students at one school to work with students at other campuses.
  • Thought questions, with references to articles and cases related to those questions, appear throughout the text.
