Description
Special education isn't defined by paperwork-it's defined by decisions. And when those decisions are wrong, the consequences are immediate, personal, and often legal.
This book puts you inside real-world special education scenarios drawn from actual cases involving students, families, and school systems. Each case challenges you to think like a leader under pressure-balancing law, data, and judgment in moments where the right answer isn't always obvious. With clear analysis and practical commentary, you'll see not just what happened, but why it mattered and how decisions could have been stronger.
Designed for both new and experienced educators, this is not a theory book. It's a field guide for making defensible decisions, avoiding common mistakes, and delivering services that hold up-to scrutiny and to the needs of students.
