The recent changes in the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) are given a thorough examination here, and parents of special education children who need to understand their roles and their children's rights will find all the key issues clearly spelled out in this guide. Topics include: the new law, the referral process, child evaluation, creating an individualized special education plan, placement and related services, preparing for transitions, discipline, mediation and standardized testing. The program offers helpful hints from parents who have children in special education, advice from various experts in the field, plus some words of encouragement from the students themselves and a list of resources. This is an exceptionally informative, well-made tape. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: P. (E. Druda)
