Parent Guide on IDEA 2004
The new IDEA Parent Guide is available from the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD). This guide takes you through the special education process—a process that is the same regardless of a child's particular difficulties or disabilities.
Within the guide, special emphasis is placed on the category of specific learning disability. The guide includes parent perspectives, terms you'll find helpful to know, and practical materials for parents such as checklists, sample letters, charts, and questions to ask.
Find the IDEA Parent Guide online at:
