5.0 out of 5 starsWrightslaw: Special Education Law, 2nd Edition - wins EP Symbol of Excellent
By Patricia Luker on February 14, 2007
Format: Perfect Paperback
It is the night before Jessica's first big IEP Team meeting and her parents are scrambling to find something - ANYTHING - that can help them prepare for the meeting. Try Wrightslaw. Sally's advocate is packing her briefcase as she heads out the door for the IEP Team meeting. She checks for her most critical resource. Wrightslaw. Susan, a school district attorney, checks her bag before heading off to her next meeting. Yup. Wrightslaw. Is there no one who hasn't heard of Wrightslaw?

Actually, we are sure that many readers have not, so today we review two new books from Wrightslaw. Both are second editions of books Pam and Pete Wright first released several years ago. The Wrights have updated both books to reflect the 2004 changes to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act [IDEA] and its implementing regulations. We use both books in our regular course of business and highly recommend them to parents, educators, advocates, attorneys and anyone else who has a need for quick but comprehensive manuals on special education law.

Wrightslaw: Special Education Law, 2nd Edition [Wrightslaw] is a wonderful and ready resource for all who want to be able to find and then quote chapter and verse of IDEA law and regulations. The book includes the complete text of all four parts of IDEA as enacted in December, 2004. Wrightslaw also contains the complete implementing regulations for IDEA that became effective in August, 2006. These texts alone are worth the cost of the book.

But Wrightslaw does not stop with the IDEA statute and its implementing regulations.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA critically important addition to school district and community library Educational Laws & Guidelines reference shelves
By Midwest Book Review on June 9, 2007
Format: Perfect Paperback
Now in a newly updated and significantly expanded second edition, "Wrightslaw: Special Education Law" provides parents, educators, child service advocates, and family attorneys with a clear and superbly organized introduction to the federal laws affecting the education of children with disabilities. An invaluable guide to special education rights and responsibilities, co-authors Pete Wright (who has represented children with disabilities for more than 30 years including appearing before the U. S. Supreme Court in 'Florence County School District IV v. Shannon Carter, 510 U.S. 7 - 1993 in which he won a landmark victory for all children with disabilities) and Pam Wright (a psychotherapist who has worked with children since the 1970s and is the Editor of 'The Special ed Advocate' newsletter), "Wrightslaw: Special Education Law" addresses the issues of a child's right to a free and appropriate education; individualized education programs, IEP teams, transition and progress; evaluations, re-evaluations, consent and independent educational evaluations; eligibility and placement decisions; least restrictive environment, mainstreaming and inclusion; research based instruction, discrepancy formulas and response to intervention; discipline, suspensions and expulsions; safeguards; mediation, confidentiality, new procedures and timelines for due process hearings. A critically important addition to school district and community library Educational Laws & Guidelines reference shelves, "Wrightslaw: Special Education Law" should be considered 'must reading' for anyone (but most especially by parents and school authorities) charged with the responsibility for educating a disabled child regardless of the nature or degree of the disability.

*FANTASTIC* book, BUT..... you can get ALL of the same information on their website (for FREE)! Since laws are constantly changing, I would suggest skipping buying it if you really need it, and just rent it.

3.0 out of 5 starsnot in depth
By education law on September 23, 2009
Format: Perfect Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is a basic overview of the laws governing special education. The included summaries and footnotes are helpful to those without a basic understanding of education law and current regulations. This book would have been more helpful to school personnel and informed parents if it had included additional footnotes that clarified the statutes regarding eligibility.

3.0 out of 5 starsI feel like it should come with a warning
By kayla on November 24, 2015
Format: Perfect Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is terrifying. I feel like it should come with a warning:

NOT EVERY PARENT WILL HAVE TO FIGHT ALL OF THESE BATTLES, BUT THIS BOOK WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WAR.

I was given two Wrightslaw books. They are exceptionally informative, but very biased. As a parent with a young child that has a diagnosis it made me scared of the school district. We need to see people as allies first.

3.0 out of 5 starsUnderstand what this book is.
By EKal on June 27, 2013
Format: Perfect Paperback Verified Purchase
The vast majority of this book is just a collection of laws (IDEA, NCLB, Section 504) and court cases. You could very easily find VAST majority of the material elsewhere for free. As a collection it is fine and there is some interpretation and footnotes that make it a worthwhile purchase.

5.0 out of 5 starsHelpful Resource
By Ann Marie Lombardo on November 17, 2010
Format: Perfect Paperback Verified Purchase
This is not a book that is read cover to cover, rather a resource for questions you may have regarding the federal special education law - IDEIA. Geared more towards parents, it's a complete description and explanation of the federal code, helping parents and others understand their roles and responsibilities. Special Education Law also provides links to it's very helpful and thorough Wright's Law website. Purchased specifically as a study guide for taking an exam for a national certification as an educational diagnostician, this book provided me with a complete resource of special education law.
