Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 YES!! I " M YELLING!! I think EVERYBODY needs to get this book!! The Complete IEP Guide--How to Advocate for your Special Ed Child by Attorney Lawrence M. Siegel The school dist has one voice (even though 10, 15, 20 different people may echo it!!! And we, parents, have another, and it COUNTS!!! Who knows our child best?? I have found working with the school dist takes skill, just like working with our kids!! Sounding like a broken record helps! Being respectful is a must, as is being assertive. Being informed is a must. KNOW the law (this book helps) KNOW that the school dist does NOT have the final say!! The law has built in steps for dispute resolution. This book is essential!! As parents we have ALOT of rights, and sooner or later we're going to learn strong advocacy---might as well learn it early on!! The Table of Contents is pretty clear, so you can go to what you need. The Appendices include law, support groups, advocacy orgs, and other, state by state..... And no, I don't get any kickback for recommending it -- though I wish I did!! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
