Mediation in the Special Education Process
- This site discusses the regulations and procedures for the mediation process.: In June 1997, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was reauthorized and signed into law.

- This site compares mediation with the impartial due process hearings and complaint investigations.: When Congress reauthorized the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1997, it included the requirement that states make mediation available whenever a due process hearing has been requested. Mediation is a voluntary form of dispute resolution that offers an alternative to due process hearings in special education. It is less costly, tends not to be as adversarial, and therefore is usually less damaging emotionally than a due process hearing.

- This site explains the how the law works and what the parent’s role is in the mediation process.: Mediation is a way to resolve disagreements between school districts and parents of children with disabilities.
