The registration fee includes a continental breakfast, box lunch and hard copies of the three books, "Wrightslaw: Special Education Law, 2nd Ed.", "Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy, 2nd Ed.", and "Wrightslaw: All About IEPs" that will be used as the primary teaching tools during the program. Hard copies of the books will be given out at registration the morning of the conference. PDF versions of all three books will be emailed a week after the program. These three print and pdf books normally retail for $103.70

All Early Bird registrants will also receive FREE via email, an adobe.pdf file of the “Special Education Law” book and the “2017 Special Education Legal Developments and Cases” book which includes all of the 2017 U.
