Wrightslaw- Special Education Laws

Wrightslaw is a site devoted to special education laws in a readable format that is easier to read than actual laws and the site is organized somewhat well to find whatever you might need. The creators of the site also created reference books and other products to help teachers, parents, and other non-lawyers understand the laws. A vital site I plan on studying to make sure I am legally compliant and to share with others.
