Book
Description
This practical, easy-to-use, easy-to-understand handbook provides
invaluable help to both parents and teachers negotiating the maze of special
education. With straightforward information about the realities and
constraints of the school system and step-by-step strategies, Dr. Shore's
advocacy approach seeks to promote partnership — not confrontation —
between parents and educators. Nevertheless, he lets parents know what
steps to take if conflict-resolution or a due-process hearing becomes
necessary. Parents, counselors, teachers and professionals involved with
special education will all benefit from this book's comprehensive but user-
friendly discussion of
- warning signs of an educational disability
- special education laws, legal safeguards and resources
- Individual Education Programs
(IEPs)
