| Educational Rights and Responsibilities: Understanding Special Education in Illinois - from the Illinois State Board of Education |
| 6/22/2009 |
| This guide is written for parents of children who receive or are suspected of needing special
education and related services, teachers, education administrators and professionals,
and service providers. Special education and related services are supports and services
provided to children with disabilities. Certain procedures must be followed to determine
if a child is eligible to receive special education services. Those procedures are written in
federal and state laws. Special education laws and procedures can be complicated. This
guide explains the requirements in a way that relates to all groups—parents, school
professionals, and others.
The Guide contains a wide variety of information about special education. Some
information may be relevant to you now; other information might be helpful in the
future. Whenever you refer to the guide, we hope you’ll find it of value in expanding
your knowledge of special education. As your knowledge expands, we hope your ability
to make decisions that improve your child’s academic outcomes increases. |
