Description

Recipient of the 2017 BRONZE Winner for Education Award from Foreword Indies.

Get the educational services and support your child deserves

Federal law guarantees every child a free appropriate
education, and the goal of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) is to
assure that every child with special needs receives what the law promises. But
you know that your family must make sure the school follows through. This
powerful book covers:

- eligibility
rules and assessments

- working with
outside experts

- developing
your child's ideal educational program

- preparing for
and attending IEP meetings, and

- resolving
disputes with school districts.

The 11th edition explains the law and provides key forms,
sample letters, and resources you need at every stage of the IEP process. With
it, you can ensure your child gets a good education--the education your child
deserves.
