Last week I visited with a parent of a child with a disability who said that she had recently learned that Iowa is the only state in the nation that uses a noncategorical system for identifying children who have disabilities and need special education and related services.
She asked me if I could give her a list of Iowa-specific resources about special education law and procedures that she could read over the summer.
I told her I'd be glad to provide her with links to Iowa-specific special education resources and would also share them on my blog.
