This guide for parents of children receiving special education in Pennsylvania outlines how a child's need for special education is determined, how a child's educational program is developed, the responsibilities and protections guaranteed to parents and children, and the resources available to parents of a child with disabilities.
This guide has been revised to reflect the new July 2008 Chapter 14 regulations.
This brochure provides a summary of parents' rights under the Individual With Disabilities Education Act (
IDEA).
