Written by Miriam Kurtzig Freedman, M.A., J.D.
Special education is everywhere and affects all schools, students, parents, and citizens. With the mantra, "All students can learn." schools have responded to the mandates of federal law by providing inclusive programs to meet individual needs and provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for students with disabilities. Yet, with the success and growth of special education came unintended, unwanted, and negative consequences, such as:
- Litigation and fear of litigation between schools and parents
- Focuses on process and procedures, rather than on results, and
- Focus on labels and student weaknesses, not strengths.
This little flip book of reform balances the tale of special education's success with the need for reform: 12 steps to transform special education for the 21st century. The 12 steps provide a framework for discussion and action-with openness, balance, common sense, and without fear of touching this law. It is time! Attorney and author Miriam Kurtzig Freedman is an expert in special education-having 'grown up' with these laws since the early days-first as a public school teacher, then a Massachusetts hearing officer, and, for more than 20 years, as an attorney representing public schools and a national speaker and consultant. Driven by her love of public education since the day she immigrated to America in elementary school, Attorney Freedman brings wide experience, passion, and creativity to this endeavor.
