Six million students with disabilities receive services through America’s unique forty-year-old special education law. Since 1975, the law succeeded in providing all students with disabilities (13 14 percent of all students) access to education. Yet, it continued to grow ever more complex. Its requirements and costs overwhelm schools; its regulations burden educators and confuse parents; its “wait to fail” approach delays intervention for many students; its adversarial enforcement pits parents and educators against each other; and its inequitable structure affects all students. In short, much is broken.
Law and education expert, attorney Miriam Kurtzig Freedman tackles these issues, focusing on students who are less severely disabled, with concrete solutions, optimism, and faith in the system’s good intentions.
She proposes Five Directions for a new law:
- Equity and excellence for all students
- New realities and reforms with research-based instruction for students with disabilities
- Shared responsibility and clear roles for educators, students, and parents
- New school-governance structure and collaboration with no individual entitlement
- Celebrating the IDEA and reframing our efforts to create Special Ed 2.0
Special Education 2.0 is an urgent call for a national conversation. While some Directions are controversial and break taboos, it’s time to act, as Congress will reauthorize the law. To power up that conversation, turn to Freedman’s Special Education 2.0!

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Gulf Coast Books, Houston, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
