Our Mission

Our mission is to publish special education legal and advocacy information for parents, advocates, educators, and attorneys. Our goal is to ensure that children with disabilities have equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. 20 U.S.C. § 1400(c)(1)

Harbor House Law Press publishes books, monographs, digital publications, CD-ROMs, and e-publications about special education legal and advocacy issues, including:

• Information for parents about their legal rights and responsibilities, and the requirement that school districts provide children with an education that is "designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for employment and independent living." 20 U.S.C. § 1400(d).
• Information for educators about the requirement that school districts provide "high quality, intensive professional development . . . [so staff] have the skills and knowledge necessary to enable them to meet . . . those challenging expectations that have been established for all children . . . " 20 U.S.C. § 1400(c)(5)(E)
• Information for advocates about the statutes, regulations, and caselaw, and how to be an effective advocate.
• Information for attorneys who need access to cases, pleadings, and tactics and strategies used by other counsel.

Parents will always be catalysts for educational reform. At Harbor House Law Press, we provide parents, advocates, educators, and attorneys with information and tools to be successful catalysts!
