The book provides a side-by-side analysis and annotation of Public Law 99-457 (Education of the Handicapped Amendments of 1986). The sourcebook organizes critical portions of the following five documents: the legislative history from House Report 99-860; the Part H legislation from P.L. 99-457; the final regulations for Part H with current published corrections; the referenced regulations from Part B on confidentiality; and the regulations from the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Noted throughout are critical nuances and relationships as well as issues yet to be decided and areas that must be addressed in state regulation and policy development. Part 1 covers programs for infants and toddlers with handicaps including legal regulation of early intervention services and Part H legislative history. Part 2 details the regulations for Part H including state applications, procedures for grants to states, program and service components, state administration, and interagency coordinating councils. Part 3 addresses supportive regulations covering confidentiality and family educational rights and privacy. Finally Part 4 considers supplementary information including an analysis of Part H issues, comprehensive definitions, and a regulatory index. (DB)
