Drawing on decades of experience, Jennifer Laviano, a high-profile special education attorney, and Julie Swanson, a sought-after special education advocate, help parents of students with disabilities navigate their school systems to get the services they need for their children. Parents will find no other book on special education like Your Special Education Rights. Julie and Jennifer demystify the federal laws that govern the rights of public school children with disabilities and explain how school districts often ignore or circumvent these laws. They pull the curtain back on the politics of special education, exposing truths that school districts don’t want you to know, such as the fact that teachers are often under extraordinary pressure not to spend resources on services. Most importantly, they outline the central rights you and your child have regarding your child’s education. Did you know that you can refer your child for a special education evaluation? That you can ask for a second opinion if you disagree with the results of some or all of the testing? That you are entitled to parent counseling, training, and more? They also show you how to take that knowledge and apply it to advocating for your child. Here’s what you need to know about the paperwork you will have to complete, detailed information on how to advocate for your child and how to craft language in documents that benefit your child, and more. Filled with vital information and invaluable resources, Your Special Education Rights gives you the information you need to help your child succeed in school and beyond.

For parents of children with disabilities, the word 'parenting' takes on a whole new meaning. They become the sole fighter in their child's corner, advocating for every step of their educational and social well-being. When a parent receives the news that their child has been diagnosed with a disability, several emotions can set in: fear that their child will not be treated the same as others; hopelessness as they are presented with so many papers and forms to fill out; identity crisis as their plans for the future fluctuate around their child; and possibly grief as they come to grips with an often unexpected reality. They are understandably overwhelmed. But, after the initial rollercoaster of emotions, parents can rise and become the fiercest and most loving beings known to the education system: The Parent of a Child with Special Needs. In this book, you'll learn of children whose parents went to bat for them through the special education system and process. Unfortunately, the school systems they depended on for help often met these parents with resistance, opposition, and an overload of information, but that is where this book and our support come in. Our resources will remove the cloud of confusion around special education so parents know how to advocate for themselves and their children. Through our books and self-paced digital courses, parents and educators will learn about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Individual Education Programs, and how to facilitate the many meetings that bring about the care for the child while they are in the public education system. So many experts and programs are available for children with special needs; the problem is that most parents do not know of their existence or how to access the particular services their child needs to benefit from attending school. Parents will become more at ease throughout these chapters as they learn the ropes of the special education system in the United States of America.
