Greetings from NICHCY, the National Dissemination Center for Children
with Disabilities. You are receiving this letter because you asked to
be alerted when new training modules on IDEA became available or you
signed up for our eNews service and indicated you were interested in
resources on children with disabilities, especially important
education and disability laws.

Here's the latest news: NICHCY has just posted another training
module online for the Building the Legacy training curriculum on IDEA,
our nation's special education law. The module includes PowerPoint
slide shows to use in training sessions, a detailed discussion of IDEA
for trainers, and handouts for audience participants.

The subject this time?

Module 17, Introduction to Procedural Safeguards
http://www.nichcy.org/training/contents.asp#ThemeE

Procedural safeguards are designed to protect the rights of parents
and their child with a disability, as well as give families and
schools a mechanism for resolving disputes. This new module looks at
parent participation, written notices such as prior written notice and
the procedural safeguards notice, and other selected concepts and
definitions (e.g., independent educational evaluation, surrogate
parents, and transfer of parental rights at age of majority). The
module ends with a brief look at IDEA's dispute resolution options, an
important topic that will be examined in much more detail in the soon-
to-be-released Module 18.

We hope you'll find these training resources helpful in your work or
personal life. As always, please feel free to call or email us with
your disability-related concerns, or visit our Web site, at: www.nichcy.org.

Greetings again from NICHCY, the National Dissemination Center for
Children with Disabilities. Can you believe it? We're back already,
with another training module on IDEA to offer you.

This time, NICHCY is pleased to let you know that "Children with
Disabilities Enrolled by Their Parents in Private Schools" (Module 16)
is available on our Web site at:

http://www.nichcy.org/training/contents.asp#private

When IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, our
nation's special education law) was amended recently, significant
changes were made in its requirements with respect to parentally-
placed private school children with disabilities. Those changes are
having an impact on school districts and State educational agencies
(SEAs), including who's responsible for deciding and paying for
special education services for this group of children. Read all about
it in our new module--and use the module to train others, if you'd
like. Like all the other modules in the IDEA training curriculum, this
one comes with a slide show, details for trainers, and handouts for
participants.

We hope you'll find these training resources helpful in your work or
personal life. As always, please feel free to call or email us with
your disability-related concerns, or visit our Web site, at: www.nichcy.org.
