The complete IEP guide

Lawrence M. Siegel Attorney

Recipient of the 2017 BRONZE Winner for Education Award from Foreword Indies. Get the educational services and support your child deserves. Federal law guarantees every child a free appropriate education, and the goal of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) is to assure that every child with special needs receives what the law promises. But you know that your family must make sure the school follows through. This powerful book covers: • eligibility rules and assessments • working with outside experts • developing your child’s ideal educational program • preparing for and attending IEP meetings, and • resolving disputes with school districts. The 11th edition explains the law and provides key forms, sample letters, and resources you need at every stage of the IEP process. With it, you can ensure your child gets a good education—the education your child deserves.
