This revision of the manual incorporates changes made to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1997 and the regulations issued in 1999 to implement the Act. Chapters address: (1) the right to a free, appropriate public education; (2) the right to evaluations and re-evaluations; (3) the right to an Individualized Education Program; (4) the right to transportation and other related services; (5) the right to transition planning; (6) the right to positive behavior programs; (7) the right to extended school year programs; (8) the right to an appropriate school placement; (9) the notice of recommended assignment; (10) the right to disagree with school officials; (11) the right to special protections in school discipline; (12) the right to a high school diploma; (13) the right to pre-school and early intervention services; and (14) other important special education rights. Appendices include sample letters requesting evaluations, pre-hearing conferences, and due process hearings, a list of parent advocacy and support groups, and a list of Web sites of interest. (CR)
