Recenzii

"How do you protect the rights of every person who walks into your building? You do it by buying this book and keeping it on your desk as a ready reference manual on how to implement major laws.”
"Provides comprehensive guidance for administrators, policy makers, and educational officials. The encyclopedic treatment of disability law within the context of these statutes offers readers best practices for ensuring that their actions are consistent with the law, treating students and employees fairly and minimizing potential liability."
"Educators need a source that is written in an easy-to-understand format. This book offers many examples of case law that can be applied to educational settings. It is a wonderful resource that covers a range of topics pertinent to teachers and administrators."
“The most complex civil rights questions of the twenty-first century are those surrounding persons with disabilities. This book simplifies those issues and serves as an excellent starting point for further research. It is essential tool for any school board or university attorney.”
