Synopsis: Every child has special needs, but for those whose needs are identified as disabilities, parents and other caregivers must serve as advocates to ensure children receive the proper support. Consultant James, whose tenure as a teacher included helping to plan Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students considered disabled who are mainstreamed into standard classrooms, sorts out the legislation (including the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the No Child Left Behind Act), and provides extensive information in ways teachers and schools can or must accommodate a child with special needs. She covers physical, mental and learning disabilities, describes the assessment process and the role of the parent or caregiver in evaluation, the role of the caregiver as part of the education team at all ages, and steps to take when the child enters the world outside the classroom.
