I could have just read federal and state websites and legal pages to glean the same information contained in this textbook. This really needs updated, as does IDEA law in general. The historicization of special education can be interesting to read about though. It's probably the saving grace of this textbook.

Pretty good for a textbook. I really appreciated the inclusion of student and family perspectives.
