This book explores how school leaders can develop responsive, personalized, and differentiated classrooms. Differentiation is simply a teacher attending to the learning needs of a particular student or small group of students, rather than teaching a class as though all individuals in it were basically alike.

Three Voices No One Heard until a Therapist Listened

From the bestselling author of One Child comes the story of three of former special education teacher Torey Hayden's most extraordinary challenges.

Nine-year-old Cassandra, kidnapped by her father and found starving, dirty, and picking through garbage cans--is a child prone to long silences and erratic, violent behavior.

Charming, charismatic four-year-old Drake will speak only in private to his mother--while his tough, unbending grandfather's demands for an immediate cure threatens to cause irreparable harm.

And though she had never worked with adults, Hayden agrees to help fearful and silent eighty-two-year-old massive stroke victim Gerda--discovering in the process that a treatment's successes could prove nearly as heartbreaking as its limitations.

Ian Brown

A Father's Journey to Understand His Extraordinary Son

A New York Times Top 10 Book of 2011

"[A]n intimate glimpse into the life of a family that cares around the clock for a disabled child, that gets so close to the love and despair, and the complex questions the life of such a child raises...It is a beautiful book, heartfelt and profound, warm and wise."
--Jane Bernstein, author of Loving Rachel and Rachel in the World

Ian Brown's son Walker is one of only about 300 people worldwide diagnosed with cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome--an extremely rare genetic mutation that results in unusual facial appearance, the inability to speak, and a compulsion to hit himself constantly. At age thirteen, he is mentally and developmentally between one and three years old and will need constant care for the rest of his life.

Brown travels the globe, meeting with genetic scientists and neurologists as well as parents, to solve the questions Walker's doctors can't answer. In his journey, he offers an insightful critique of society's assumptions about the disabled, and he discovers a connected community of families living with this illness. As Brown gradually lets go of his self-blame and hope for a cure, he learns to accept the Walker he loves, just as he is.

Honest, intelligent, and deeply moving, The Boy in the Moon explores the value of a single human life.

A Guide for Practitioners

The ultimate resource for success in special education--newly updated!

If you'd wanted to be a lawyer, you would have gone to law school. How could you have predicted you'd need legal knowledge after all? Here is your essential guide. Osborne and Russo, past presidents of the Educational Law Association, are experts in translating legalese into a language educators can understand.

Updated to reflect significant court decisions and new legal developments, this is your road map to meeting today's special education requirements. The latest edition features

 * Extensive coverage of IDEA's reauthorization, Section 504 and the ADA, and FAPE and LRE
 * New analysis of parent and student rights
 * Guidance on discipline
 * A preventative approach to special education litigation
 * Focus on federal and state interpretations of the law

Designed for educators, this practical resource allows you to focus on your core competency: providing excellent education for students with special needs.

"Some books are carefully placed on bookshelves and easily forgotten, while others sit on desks with their spines cracked and well worn from use. My copy of Osborne′s and Russo′s Third Edition of Special Education and the Law will soon be dog eared, highlighted in yellow, its margins scribbled with notes. Read it and you will use it." --Todd A. DeMitchell, Professor University of New Hampshire

"Every administrator should have this in their professional library to guide them in making appropriate decisions in scheduling and meeting students' needs." --Dr. Elizabeth Alvarez, Principal Chicago Public Schools

What Your School District Isn't Telling You

Drawing on decades of experience, a special education attorney and sought-after special education advocate help parents of students with disabilities navigate their school systems to get the services they need for their children.

Parents will find no other book on special education like Your Special Education Rights. Julie and Jennifer demystify the federal laws that govern the rights of public school children with disabilities and explain how school districts often ignore or circumvent these laws. They pull the curtain back on the politics of special education, exposing truths that school districts don't want you to know, such as the fact that teachers are often under extraordinary pressure not to spend resources on services.

Most importantly, they outline the central rights you and your child have regarding your child's education. Did you know that you can refer your child for a special education evaluation? That you can ask for a second opinion if you disagree with the results of some or all of the testing? That you are entitled to parent counseling, training, and more?

They also show you how to take that knowledge and apply it to advocating for your child. Here's what you need to know about the paperwork you will have to complete, detailed information on how to advocate for your child and how to craft language in documents that benefit your child, and more.

Filled with vital information and invaluable resources, Your Special Education Rights gives you the information you need to help your child succeed in school and beyond.
