 Lacks Detail July 11, 2008
This book claims to be a guide for lawyers among others but fails to give case citations or even case names in the one section that is written by a lawyer. This leaves the inquisitive reader to try and decipher which federal case is being referred to based on the fact description or holding. There must be better choices on this topic.
 Shelby Keiser notwithstanding, this book is helpful April 5, 2001

I understand the ire of a person who resents having to be compared with the general population, rather than to a specialized group the person wishes to become a member of, to have accommodations, but I feel that in her chapter on testing accommodations she does explain her viewpoint and the legal underpinnings of her opinion. In general, this book is a very good guide to documentation standards, provides forms that are useful, and is well worth the money as a reference book.

As the Disabilities host at BellaOnline, I recommend this book. It's clear cut and informative. Every educator should read it and be aware.
