Special education "nuts and bolts" questions that you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask.

Attempting to understand the complex state and federal laws, regulations, and policies affecting special education programs can be a daunting task for any educator. In this practical, jargon-free text, Roger Pierangelo and George Giuliani use their combined expertise in special education and the law to explain key concepts and present clear answers to commonly asked questions about disabilities and education.

Ideal for K-12 special education teachers, general education teachers, and education stakeholders, 100 Frequently Asked Questions About Special Education makes an often complex subject understandable to novice teachers and veteran teachers who have not taught students with special needs.

Written in a concise question-and-answer format, this practical guide includes an easily accessible glossary of terms and provides basic information about:

  • The prereferral process
  • Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
  • Eligibility for special education
  • Procedural safeguards, a component of the IDEA Act of 2004
  • Annual reviews and evaluations
  • Transitions from school to adult life

Appropriate for both educators and parents, this reader-friendly guidebook gives adults a working knowledge of the special education process and enhances their skills for helping students reach their full potential.
