The Complete Guide to Special Education

By Linda Wilmshurst and Alan W. Brue

Ask us about all the individualized testing and assessment services offered by qualified OCHP specialists.

In addition to obtaining testing and assessment services by an experienced OCHP provider, the Complete Guide to Special Education is a valuable resource for parents or teachers who suspect a child may need special education services to succeed. Authors Wilmshurst and Brue explore the special education process from testing and diagnosis to IEP meetings and advocating for special needs children. The stages of identification, assessment, and intervention are explained step by step to clarify the legal rights of special needs students and to help you become an effective member of a child’s educational team. 
This third edition provides updates on new laws and regulations; expands coverage of autism spectrum disorders and bipolar disorder; and includes a revamped Resources section for teachers and parents. You will learn how the intervention process works, how to read and understand evaluations, the qualifying categories of disability, and how to effectively work through the EIP process.
