Opportunities & Challenges: Administrative Guide to the New Idea

By Karen Lovitch, Christine Plagata-Neubauer, Leigh Manasevit, et al.

This AASA publication, Opportunities and Challenges, is must reading for everyone involved in educating children with disabilities. Prepared by the law firm Brustein & Manasevit, this jargon-free manual summarizes and explains major changes in IDEA and provides step-by-step instructions regarding IDEA's administrative and procedural requirements. This publication explains how the re-authorized IDEA focuses on improving results for special education students by increasing parental involvement, encouraging parents and schools to establish partnerships, and reducing paperwork and necessary costs so that educators and state and local education agencies can direct their time and energy toward effectively and efficiently serving children with disabilities.
