A Field Manual · No. I · Volume 2
The 50-State Companion
Volume 2 of The IEP Field Manual gives each state and the District of Columbia its own page: the evaluation and IEP timelines, where to file a state complaint or request a due process hearing, the rules on recording an IEP meeting, when rights transfer to the student, the state special-education office, the federally funded parent centers, and one rule families often miss. Every page cites official sources and shows the date its law was last checked.
California is free to read in full. The other state pages open with the Field Manual membership.

Use this companion with the verified review edition of The IEP Field Manual. Begin with the federal tool, then check the state entry before relying on a timeline, filing route, age, credential rule, records period, restraint or seclusion duty, or other state-specific procedure.
Each state entry cites official sources. Links and state rules change. Confirm the cited official page again before a high-stakes act or deadline.
This companion is educational information, not legal advice. It does not replace advice from a licensed attorney in the state where the student attends school.
