Your roadmap to the IEP system: THE COMPLETE IEP GUIDE: HOW TO ADVOCATE FOR YOUR SPECIAL ED CHILD and NOLO'S IEP GUIDE: LEARNING DISABILITIES

Berkeley, CA -- February 15, 2007

As the parent of an IEP student, you may not always be sure how to navigate the system and ensure that your child gets the individualized education he or she needs. When you need guidance, Nolo is here to help with two freshly updated books by attorney and special education advocate Lawrence M. Siegel.

THE COMPLETE IEP GUIDE maps the process from start to finish, providing support for dealing with bureaucratic difficulties and helpful advice for custom-fitting your child’s IEP. Whether your child needs six months of speech therapy, or special education “K through 12,” this book will help you steer clear of pitfalls and get meaningful results.

NOLO'S IEP GUIDE: LEARNING DISABILITIES is specially designed for the parents of children with learning problems such as dyslexia, aphasia, dyspraxia, and visual or audio processing disorders. You’ll learn how to identify a learning disability, qualify your child for an IEP program, and choose the best programs and services down the line.

Both books are completely updated to reflect recent changes to the federal Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which governs special education and the IEP process.
