This book is designed for administrators in courses and in the field to understand, manage and optimize special programs, especially as they relate to student learning.
The book is a succinct, completely up-to-date and comprehensive guide to federal and state mandated special programs. It shows in detail how these programs are linked to instruction. Virtually all school services available to students and their families are covered,

every
