Local Education Authorities are now obliged to put in place arrangements to try to settle disagreements over the provision for children with special educational needs. This practical book aims to help those charged with making these arrangements and those directly involved in the conciliation and mediation process. While there is no 'right way' to resolve disputes of this kind, the ultimate goal must be to reach a positive conclusion as quickly as possible for the benefit of the child involved. In this book, the authors look at a range of approaches and issues to achieve this such as: *how to plan disagreement resolution *skills and techniques for mediation *tools for training and self-assessment *the SEN tribunal *ethical and legal issues. The book includes contributions from leading practitioners in special educational needs, law, mediation and conciliation. It is the ideal handbook for all those working in the area of special education needs, both in schools and for LEAs and other agencies.

Parents and school staff usually agree upon issues regarding evaluation, eligibility, program, and placement of students with disabilities. However, there are times when disagreement occurs. Disagreements and conflict are often inevitable, but they need not produce negative results. Mediation in special education is a process to assist parents and schools in resolving disagreements regarding the education program of a student with disabilities. A trained mediator works with both parties to guide them toward a mutually satisfactory solution in the best interest of the student. The mediation session is completely confidential and encourages open communication. The purpose of mediation is to provide an optional alternative to a due process hearing and provide a means to resolve disagreements between parents and school personnel. Mediation is less costly and adversative than a due process hearing and is completely voluntary for both parties. Mediation helps both parties focus on what is best for the student in the future by: (1) Identifying disagreements concerning the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of a student; (2) Clarifying the issues causing the disagreement; (3) Providing those involved with uninterrupted opportunities to present their points of view; (4) Stimulating mutual problem-solving efforts; (5) Promoting positive working relationships between parents and school personnel; and (6) Helping parents and school personnel focus on their common interest, the student, rather than on the issues that divide them. Discussion points include the cost of mediation; requesting and agreeing to mediation; the mediation process; roles of participants (mediator, parents, school, legal counsel); preparation for a mediation session; disclosure and standards; forms; and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mediation regulations.
