WrightsLaw is the best online resource for legal information in the US:

Parents, educators, advocates, and attorneys come to Wrightslaw for accurate, reliable information about special education law, education law, and advocacy for children with disabilities.

Thanks for the link! Like they say on School House Rock... it's great to learn, 'cause knowledge is power. The best thing anyone can do is arm themselves with the information they need to advocate their cause.

I found a government website that has some legal information.

http://www.disabi...

There's a pretty big section on Civil Rights and I'm sure that they have some good resources too. Most of what they have is general information for citizens with any type of disability.

Legal rights are legally protected by the Constitution of the United States. There is substantial financial compensation to the Diagnosed. But there is time period to receive compensation.

I want to add to this Thread a recent 'page' on Wrightslaw. Here's the link:
http://www.wright...l.1123.htm

This information is mostly directed to parents of minor children, but the same principles hold true for adult students. I'll put an excerpt off of this Wrightslaw 'page'. - jus'

EXCERPT:
The success of your child's education may depend on how well you document what happens during the IEP process.

"If it is not written down, it was never said. If it was never said, it did not happen." If you have spent much time on Wrightslaw, you've heard Pete say this many times.

IDEA 2004 specifically allows you to submit your concerns to the IEP Team. So document, document, document - document everything!
