LAW BOOKS

IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME THAT I HAVE NEVER MENTIONED THE 2 BOOKS EVERYONE NEEDS WHEN THEY TRAVEL THIS JOURNEY--

THE FIRST IS

  CALIFORNIA  SPECIAL EDUCATION  LAWS AND CODES              YOU CAN WRITE EMAIL OR FAX TO SACRAMENTO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND THEY WILL SEND IT TO YOU FREE OF CHARGE

THE SECOND IS

SPECIAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES     THIS ONE YOU CAN GET THRU " PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY " THERE  IS AN  800 NUMBER LISTED FOR THEM AND THERE ARE ALSO LOCAL OFFICES YOU CAN CALL TO GET INFO HOW TO OBTAIN THIS BOOK---THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS BOOK IS IT IS WRITTEN IN  UNDERSTANBLE  LANGUAGE VERSES THE LAW BOOK IS STRICTLY CODES AND YOU HAVE TO INTERPRET IT

ALSO  IF YOU ARE IN CALIFORNIA  THERE IS A SMALL ADDENDUM  CALLED  "THE LANTERMAN ACT" WHICH SPECIFICALLY DEALS WITH THE IPP, THINGS THAT GOVERN  IRC AND SPECIAL TREATMENT OF OUR KIDS-- MY INFORMATION IS THIS BOOK CAME ABOUT DUE TO THE TREATMENT OF A BOY WHO WAS INSTIUTIONALIZED AND ACTUALLY DIED BECAUSE  HE WAS BEING RESTRICTED BY AN EMPLOYEE/TEACHER WHO WAS TREATING HIM IN THIS FACILITY

I REALLY NEED TO RESEARCH MY RESOURCE THIS WAS TOLD TO ME MANY YEARS AGO AND MY MEMORY MAY NOT BE PERFECT BUT I KNOW IT IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT

ANYWAY THE BOOKS  HAVE BEEN  FREE  IN THE PAST  I BELIEVE THAT PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY IS ASKING FOR A DONATION  FOR "THE SPECIAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES "-- ANOTHER THING I NEED TO CHECK   NEVER-THE-LESS THESE BOOKS ARE VALUABLE.
