The term ‘special education’ encompasses dozens of learning challenges: developmental delay, learning and physical disabilities, emotional disturbance, retardation, language impairment, autism, and others. By nature of this diversity, navigating even well-run, well-funded special education programs can be daunting. A Parent’s Guide to Special Education offers guidance to parents and their children — as well as to teachers, counselors, and administrators — on issues including:
* diagnosis and awareness
* special education laws
* eligibility issues and requirements
* programs
* parenting issues
* communication between parents and schools
* and much more
A Parent’s Guide to Special Education offers invaluable information and a positive vision of special education that will help them through a potentially overwhelming process. Filled with practical recommendations, sample forms, and enlightening examples, this is a priceless resource for helping every child learn.
