What constitutes services that must be provided by federally assisted schools under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) "This annotation collects and analyzes federal and state cases that have discussed or ruled on the kinds of services that must be provided in appropriate circumstances for disabled children by federally assisted schools pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Iep-2005 by Edward Burns "The purpose of this book is to provide guidelines to develop appropriate Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for children with disabilities based on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act amendments of 2004 (IDEA-2004) or Public Law 108-446. These guidelines are intended to result in IEPs that are streamlined, focused, and reasonably calculated to provide educational benefit. Specifically, this work is directed toward developing IEPs that provide every child with a free and appropriate public education, rather than to develop IEPs that merely show compliance with IDEA but confuse."
