"This guidebook provides a solid foundation in special education for principals. The straightforward text will appeal to all building administrators."

Debi Gartland, Professor of Special Education

"The book made me think a great deal about the leadership behaviors and content knowledge needed to create school programs that are effective for all children. The author has done a good job of pulling together critical information for principals."

Jane Belmore, Adjunct Professor

"Contains critical information that administrators need to understand as they navigate through special education policies and procedures. In addition, administrators will discover a practical process for not only improving the quality of special education services, but also for transforming the teaching/learning cycle for all students.

Substantial Content Revisions

Two major changes have been made to this Edition. First, all information was updated to reflect changes made to the IDEA in the 2004 reauthorization as well as some regulatory changes made to the No Child Left Behind Act pertaining to students with disabilities. Second, the original 3 sections were renamed and reorganized to be more coherent and to provide a better logic to the presentation of information. For example, the first section is now a more comprehensive treatment of the major legal provisions of the IDEA while Section II now describes how schools must go about implementing the provisions…including specific programs that work. A second major change is that all resources have been expanded and updated and appear throughout the text to provide additional information about legal provisions, good programs or general strategies that are useful for principals.
