Intended for parents of children with possible disabilities in Texas, these two combined booklets (one in English and one in Spanish) outline the step-by-step process qualifying the child for special education services and explain the parent's rights and responsibilities under federal and state law. Introductory material includes a letter to parents and an index to sections covering procedural safeguards. Individual sections then address the following areas: definitions of terms; the child-centered educational process; the written notice requirement; comprehensive individual assessment; independent educational evaluation; the Admission, Review, and Dismissal Committee; the individual educational plan; related services; educational placement; extended year services; extracurricular activities; discipline; transition planning; graduation; transferring to a new school district; procedures regarding educational records; procedures to follow "if you have a problem"; and polices which provide low cost or free assistance and information to parents. A chart of the child centered process and a receipt (to verify booklet receipt) conclude the booklet. (DB)
