RELATED RESOURCES

We specialize in analyzing and explaining the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. In particular, we have published a short pamphlet explaining the significance of the 2004 changes to IDEA. See Pearson.

We also have published a book describing the 2004 amendments, the new (2006) regulations, and the continuing effect of decisions of the Supreme Court and other courts interpreting IDEA (before the 2004 reauthorization). See Love Publishing

“Imagine all the people, sharing…” or a (not so) modest proposal made on the eve of IDEA reauthorization

This article criticizes IDEA for failing to advance as powerfully as possible the inclusion of students with disabilities in the general curriculum. It imagines what Congress could do if it were to reauthorize IDEA again (as in 2010).
