    A Guide to Using This Book

    Knowledge is power. People working with students with disabilities must be aware of the laws and regulations that provide protections to students, families, and educators. They must be lifelong learners and keep abreast of the laws and regulations that govern their practice. This book provides an overview of basic principles and laws that govern the field of education. It is not designed to be a reference book of all the laws and regulations for working with students with disabilities; there are several well-known texts and numerous web sites for this purpose. Rather, this book delves into the most critical laws that shape educational policy, explaining Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (PL 93-112) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004 (PL 108-446). References are also made to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (PL 93-380), which governs the privacy of education records. This book is intended to be your guide to understanding basic education-related law as you work with a wide range of students in schools and classrooms. Reading this book is also meant to be an interactive experience in which you can apply your knowledge and think critically and creatively. Several activities, exercises, and features are included within each chapter and can be used for individual reader reflection, as part of an in-service day for educators, or as thought-provoking exercises for preservice teachers.

    Each chapter introduces readers to a specific topic in special education law, opening with an overview of the core principles of the laws and regulations as well as critical court cases that provide insight into how to interpret the law. Each chapter includes a mnemonic to help readers remember key terms and ideas. Readers will also encounter a How Would You Rule? exercise in which they are invited to weigh in on a legal dispute in special education. After writing their answer in the space provided, they can read on to see how the court actually ruled. Every chapter also includes a comparison of two case studies depicting an everyday legal situation or challenge in special education, with one example of common mistakes made followed by an exemplary approach to handling a situation. These stories are meant to bring legal and ethical principles to light and invite you to compare and contrast effective ways to follow the law and serve students with disabilities. A list of common mistakes and solutions related to the chapter topic follows each case study comparison. Finally, each chapter ends with an Extras and Activities section that could be used for professional development, as educational activities for preservice educators, or as exercises to engage the individual reader. These extras include questions and answers related to special education law, quizzes, games, puzzles, and online activities. Readers are encouraged to interact with colleagues, reflect on the concepts discussed in the chapters, and have fun. As indicated in certain activities, see the books answer key appendix.
