Better IEPs: How to Develop Legally Correct and Educationally Useful Programs
A newly revised and enhanced edition of the ultimate guide to understanding IEPs from a legal standpoint, complete with IDEA 2004 updates. A classic in its field, Better IEPs presents a focused, three-step process that zooms in on the individual student and dismisses out of hand the one-size-fits-all approach that is too often mistaken for proper procedure in today's schools. Gives all educators confidence and know-how to develop competent IEPs. Written by Dr. Barbara Bateman, an attorney and professor emeritus and the number one expert on IEP law in the nation, and coauthored by Mary Anne Linden.

This is an incredible guidebook for teachers, parents, and others who are involved in developing IEPs for students with exceptional needs. I voluntarily read this over the summer, and it was well worth it! I found Bateman's writing to be clear and understandable to me as a teacher, and I believe those without much background knowledge of IEPs would be able to learn easily from this well-organized and thorough book. It's an invaluable resource.

Great read for a parent of a child with an IEP or special needs. Great primer for a new teacher, but possibly not in-depth enough in practice.
