Wrightslaw - The Special Ed Advocate Newsletter, July 15, 1999

1. Special Ed Advocate - Wrightslaw Website Revisions, Upgrades and Other News

During the past few weeks, we made extensive revisions to The Special Ed Advocate-Wrightslaw web site. The Wrightslaw Libraries contains hundreds of articles, letters, cases, newsletters, and news items about special education law and advocacy.

This issue of The Special Ed Advocate newsletter provides you with information about these changes and lots of new LINKS.

We hope these revisions will reduce the "load time" and allow you to access our Libraries more quickly.

The main changes are in the ADVOCACY LIBRARY. Now, when you go to the ADVOCACY LIBRARY, you will find links to three separate areas:
