"The book provides comprehensive coverage of federal mandates, statutes, regulations, and special education case law. I believe it will make a strong text for a Special Education Director program, special education law classes, and as a desk reference for practitioners."

Randall L. De Pry

Associate Professor of Special Education, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs

"This book should be required reading for anyone in education–regular and special education alike. It is very readable and, overall, is an excellent introduction to what special education really means on a day-to-day operational basis."

Susan M. Dannemiller

Director of Special Education and Pupil Services, School District of Grafton, WI

"Anyone operating in special education cannot be without this guide. Detailed, in-depth reviews of the 2004 IDEA regulations, along with surveys of related issues, from statues of limitation and cases under other statutes to educational services, attorney's fees, claims processes, and more."

California Bookwatch Education Shelf, July 2006

"This is a badly needed book both for reference purposes as well as preservice and inservice practice. The book is well researched and well written and will quickly enhance the knowledge base regarding special education case law for the reader. It is a valuable resource for special education teachers and administrators as well as school district officials. In addition, attorneys will find the book to be an excellent aide in their practice. Finally, coursework in special education law, as offered in many university programs, has consistently suffered for the lack of a foundational textbook. This book fills that gap nicely."

Let the law guide you to fairness and success in special education!

If you find yourself at a loss to explain how the law interprets a specific area of special education, or if Section 504 seems confusing and complicated, Allan G. Osborne, Jr., and Charles J. Russo provide you with reliable assistance in this 2007 update of Special Education and the Law, Second Edition. Based on the reauthorization of IDEA 2004, this authoritative resource interprets the latest changes in regulations that apply to special education.

This text provides current information on every facet of special education law, from the new IDEA regulations to the implications of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). The authors explain the intricacies of laws, regulations, and statutes relating to special education in a comprehensive format. This revised 2007 edition includes an expanded list of cases, all of which have been modified to correspond to the most recent legal requirements.

For special education teachers and administrators who are expected to be experts in both education and law, this resource provides:

  • In-depth explanations of the 2004 IDEA reauthorization and assistance in navigating the legal system in your state
  • Detailed advice for student discipline
  • A thorough review of FAPE and Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) and how they are related
  • Advice on requirements for related services
