“This is one of the most comprehensive books covering special education law that I have read in the past 25 years in higher education. Johns articulates valuable information from special education categories, IEP, and Section 504 to all aspects of special education law that can be understood by experienced administrators, general and special educators and, most importantly, parents.”

“The author chose a unique approach to address an often times difficult and somewhat dry topic—school law and it's violation. Her strategy of providing realistic illustrations of practical application of the laws is not only timely but relevant. The use of missteps and exemplary responses provides the reader with pragmatic cases.”
