What is an IDEA 2004 Update Edition? Special Education has been updated to reflect this long-anticipated legislation in two ways: *Relevant discussion throughout the book has been revised to reflect IDEA '04. These revisions have been made while still preserving the original pagination of the text, so no changes to lecture notes or reading assignments are necessary, and all supplementary materials (and page references therein) remain accurate. An "IDEA 2004" icon appears in the margins adjacent to the updates.*A Guide to IDEA 2004 has been included as an appendix in the Update Edition. This clear, comprehensive, jargon-free appendix gives a brief side-by-side comparison of IDEA '04 versus the previous '97 legislation for each of the statutes, and, when a little friendly "background" would help the reader better understand the practical implications of the law, an additional note is provided. The Fourth Edition has been crafted to increase emphasis on the IEP process by introducing preservice teachers to 14 students with disabilities and their teachers. Each student is profiled at the start of a chapter, and preservice teachers follow the teacher as they evaluate the student, write effective IEP goals and objectives, and modify instruction in a way that is appropriate for that particular student. In this way, students are prepared not only to engage in the IEP process themselves, but are reminded of the individualities among all students and the impact a teacher can have on their success in the classroom.

I purchased this book for a graduate level special education course and have enjoyed it so far. The material is organized in a logical manner and is easy to comprehend. I also appreciate the additional references and online workshops included with the text. For someone looking for a thorough overview of teaching students with special needs, this is a great buy.
