Download or read book Defining the World of Special Education written by Charles E. Mizzi and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 316 pages.

Book excerpt: This book is designed to help teachers, parents, and students understand and navigate their way intelligently through the ideas, concepts, procedures and programs that are implemented in the education of children and adults with severe disabilities. Special education, vocational, social and physical rehabilitation, are attended by many different disciplines, each with its own vocabulary and viewpoints.

Items such as autism or dyslexia encountered in readings often gave different, and occasionally conflicting information.

Download or read book Special Education Law written by Peter S. Latham and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 2008 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear, well organized presentation of IDEA and other pertinent federal laws, together with well organized discussion of relevant cases, help educators understand and apply their knowledge in concrete situations. The emphasis of this practical book is on increasing understanding at a conceptual level rather than rote memorization of detailed provisions of the IDEA and other laws. By understanding the law, educators will be better equipped to work with future amendments of IDEA and with new laws that may be enacted by Congress. They will also have an increased ability to apply statutory provisions to specific situations. Part I - Constitutional Framework: provides important background in understanding the authority that Congress has to enact laws that impact on education in the United States and the authority that the courts have to interpret laws. Includes discussion of the judicial system, the key provisions of the United States Constitution, due process, equal protection, the statutes of certain regulations, and a brief overview and comparison of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Rehabilitation Act (RA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Part II - IDEA: covers background, basic language and coverage, duty to evaluate, FAPE, IEP, placement, related services, inclusions/least restrictive environment, private school, discipline, mediation, due process, and court proceedings. Sample forms are included to supplement discussion with concrete examples to aid understanding. Part III - RA and ADA: covers RA/ADA basics, such as who is an individual with a disability, what entities are covered, enforcement provisions, and application to schools, universities, and employers. Part IV - Other Legal Issues: covers No Child Left Behind, FERPA, tort liability, and high stakes testing issues. At the end of each part there is a very basic question and answer section to assist the student in focusing on major points in each part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functioning both as an introduction for people with no special education expertise and as a reference by special educators, advocates, and attorneys, the text makes clear all the related laws, which share some of the same language and have been a constant source of confusion to students and education scholars alike. The work proceeds smoothly from definitions to examples to case studies, enabling the reader to quickly gain an understanding of special education law and practice. Legal ambiguities, especially common to laws and regulations sharing similar language (such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973), are examined. Due process mandates and hearing procedures are examined in detail. Legal guidelines for safely accommodating students with communicable diseases are presented, as are definitions and eligibility issues for students diagnosed as having one of the attention deficit disorders. In this up-to-date overview, Daugherty demystifies special education and related law, making this an invaluable tool for students and education scholars, caregivers, and all others who have an interest in special education.
