Practical Guide to Massachusetts Special Education Regulations

Announcing A Practical Guide to Understanding Massachusetts Special Education Regulations and Legal Decisions

By Allan S. Blume, Jan K. Hollenbeck, & Laurel A. Peltier

Just published by the Collaborative for Educational Services, this new book by statewide leaders in training special education professionals is a comprehensive and user-friendly resource on special education regulations in Massachusetts, including key provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

While covering the Massachusetts requirements for special education, we also guide the reader to related state laws, federal IDEA regulations, and decisions made by Massachusetts hearing officers and higher court judges. A Practical Guide to Understanding Massachusetts Special Education Regulations and Legal Decisions will help you to understand and become more familiar with how the regulations connect with the work of IEP teams.

The Guide is written for special education professionals, educators and administrators in Massachusetts, as well as related service providers, and families.
