Supreme Court to Hear IDEA Case on February 27, 2007 On October 27, 2006, the Supreme Court agreed to consider an appeal by the parents of a child with autism to act as their child's lawyer in an IDEA case. The parents, Jeff and Sandee Winkelman, say they cannot afford a lawyer to argue their court case against the school district of Parma, Ohio, near Cleveland, over private school tuition for their son, Jacob. The U.S. Department of Education (USED) and Solicitor General (S.G.) both urged the Supreme Court to hear the case and to reverse the lower court's decision that parents may not represent their children in federal court, and must retain an attorney in order to execute their rights under IDEA. Additional information on the Winkelman case is available at: www.wrightslaw.com/news/07/winkelman.parma.htm.

Wraparound Process User's Guide
This guide from the National Wraparound Initiative (NWI) provides a comprehensive description of what a family can expect from the wraparound process. The guide can also serve as an introduction to wraparound for service providers, policy makers, and other stakeholders. The guide draws on previous work of the NWI, particularly the description of the phases and activities of the wraparound process. As a result, the guide is intended for use in any community that uses a wraparound process consistent with the NWI guidelines.
