 A "must have" for parents of Special Education Children. April 27, 1999

This book will become the "bible" for parents of Special Education children. The book is wirtten with the lay person in mind in a clear and concise manner. The whole IEP process is spelled out in easy to follow steps that gently glides one through the process. The letters and forms which can be copied or added to are invaluable, and take a giant step toward helping parents become effective advocates for their children. A copy of the law IDEA 1997 is included, giving full disclosure to the general public. The information included in this book can save a parent thousands of dollars in attorney's fees. If you buy just one book about Special Education this year, this should be the one!

I found this book to be the MOST informative book on the market for writing an IEP. It gives examples, details and actual pull out pages of the forms necessary for writing a complete and accurate IEP. I reviewed MANY books and none were as informative as this book. I am going to my sons IEP with a complete and thorough knowledge and understanding of the process. I highly recommend this book to any parent who has or is having a child in Special Education or mainstreaming into regular classes.

I was saying to myself, as I drove to Nolo Press. They must write a book, we need something from a non-school prospective. Parents need their children & their issues addressed by some concerned party. The clerk had just put the book on the shelf about twenty minutes before I walked in the store, she said. Some higher source/force directed me to Nolo that day. It is well worth the price & invaluable in navigating the path for me & by son. Thanks, Lawrence & your supporting cast for a job well done !! This book is long over due. I can't seem to put it down. It even goes to the bathroom with me... I keep calling parents to share the fact that the book is available with them & sent email messages to several boards.

I am just beginning to navigate the special education maze and have found this book to be a valuable resource in plotting my course. It not only informs you of your rights, in non-techical terms, but it also provides insights, organization and planning tips as well as, a multitude of writing templates. It has allowed me to feel as though I am much more in control of the situation, versus feeling as though the process is "being done to me". I hope it helps you.
A Must Have Book April 30, 2000

This book is the most complete resource that I have found. I recommend it to anyone who is entering the Special Education arena. I am a parent of a 10 year-old boy who was recently diagnosed with ADD and Dyslexia. This book helped me prepare for my IEP meeting. I especially enjoyed using the forms in the back of the book. These forms can be copied for use as letters and check lists. This book is very thorough and will walk you through the entire IEP process. This is definately a "Must Have Book"!
