How to advocate for your child's rights

[Guest guest]

-----

I remember when Mayerson presented through NSASA and ELIJA a couple of

Decembers ago. In that 1/2 day presentation he did, I learned about steps and

techniques

that I applied and have been crucial to securing an appropriate education for my

son

who entered District this year.

will no doubt give helpful insight, tools, strategies and advice so you

hopefully won't have

to contact an attorney at all, or if you do, you will be prepared and will win.

Book Description

The guide that every parent must have! Mayerson has devoted his career in

law to helping children with autism get the fair and appropriate education that

they need and deserve. In this field guide, he brings parents up to speed

quickly and efficiently on the ways educational bureaucracies work-or more

importantly, don't -for children with special needs. In addition to providing

inside information on the " must-do's " and " must don'ts " in advocating for your

child in the educational system, there are also strategies on how to prepare for

an IEP meeting, what to do when children don't get crucial services, and how to

avoid due process. Armed with solid information, parents will be empowered with

all of the tools they need to advocate for their child's education. The

practical and straightforward approaches presented in this must-have guide are

not only applicable to children with autism spectrum disorders, but to children

with any disability. <>
