This book is really only for people in Special Education but it's so comprehensive that it's hard not to love. At least a tiny bit. It's dense but I eventually got comfortable reading through it.

This is a well written textbook, a good read, but at times was very repetitive (word for word references back to prior sections/chapters/chapters or sections that felt unnecessary). Definitely a good purchase for the course I took, though, and very informative.

A very dense and comprehensive guide to all things legally related to special education services. Purchased for a course, I did find it a bit technical at times but I suppose it needed to be. I learned a lot in its reading.

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

Needless to say, required reading. Informative, but very snoozey overall. Very expensive as well.
