When you need to know the laws

I purchased this book for a graduate course. It might be the most comprehensive law book available for special education. This book explains the history of why we have special education law and then goes on to explain where we currently are and why. When you need to know the laws, this is your reference.

Great resource, and easy to read

This is a good basic introduction to the complicated area of special education law. The principals are discussed and illustrated in real life situations. Relevance to IDEA, ADA, and NCLB are integrated. This is a great resource for teachers and parents of special needs children.
