Intro to Special Ed in Indiana

The Indiana Institute’s Early Childhood Center is pleased to announce a new publication available at no charge to parents of children with disabilities. An Introduction to Special Education in Indiana was written for parents who are new to the special education system. It includes an overview of special education law, and sections on the referral, educational evaluation, and case conference and IEP processes. It also includes tips, suggestions, explanations, and a list of resources, including a glossary of “Words and Terms to Know.” This booklet combines 3 previous special education booklets and has been revised and updated to reflect changes made in Indiana’s special education law, Article 7.

Parents can order a copy of this booklet by emailing Cathy Beard at beardc@indiana.edu or they can fax a request to (812) 855-9630 or call toll free 1-800-825-4733.
