Five booklets are designed to inform parents of exceptional students in Florida about their child's education. The first covers eight steps in planning and continuing a child's education from referral through staffing and IEP (individualized education program) development to re-evaluation and subsequent staffing. Booklet 2 focuses on the IEP, its contents, required information, and meeting procedure. Booklet 3 outlines parents' rights and responsibilities in such areas as due process, school records, and evaluations. A parents' dictionary, list of reading materials, and resource directory are included in booklet 4. The final booklet provides guidance on keeping records for such aspects as referral, IEP meetings, and due process hearings. Sample letters regarding educational decisions are provided. (CL)
