I can't endorse Wrightslaw enough. I, too, get their invaluable newsletter and find myself checking at least one thing on their website daily. For parents who want to learn about their children's rights and how to get what their children need out of their school districts, this is the BEST resource.
Couple of great articles in Wrightslaw regarding draft IEP's and the inclusion of functional goals as part of the assessment process and the IEP. I found both these articles to be very informative and timely given some of the recent discussions.

I receive a weekly newsletter from Wrightslaw and these were topics posted in the most recent issue. Anyone can sign up for the newsletter. Just go to the Wrightslaw website and follow the instructions on the home page.
