This book is a must-read for every parent or educator who participates in the IEP process. Dr. Fouse takes readers through the entire range of a “child-centered" educational process, from the initial stages of identification and diagnosis to full implementation and monitoring of the individualized education program. She walks you through the process of setting goals and objectives, getting the most out of IEP meetings, determining proper placement, requesting assistive technology, and much more. She explains laws that you will need to know inside and out, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Section 504, Americans with Disabilities Act, and FERPA. Finally, she lists some common mistakes that schools and parents often make, and gives great advice on how to avoid conflicts.

WASTE OF PAPER,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creating a Win-Win IEP for Students with Autism: A How-To Manual for Parents and Educators (Paperback)
If it were possible to rate this book with less than one star I would have done so. I purchased and read this book hoping for some insight which would help me prepare for my daughter's IEP. I wish I had spent the time reading this book organizing my closets or on some worthy endeavor as I feel that the time I spent reading was wasted. I found this book to oversimplify the necessary elements of an IEP and of the IDEA. For parents who have never been through an IEP, this will not give them much assistance. I much prefer the Wrightslaw publications, as they are much more thorough and better outline the children's rights.

Creating a "Win-Win" IEP for students with Autism,
This review is from: Creating a Win-Win IEP for Students with Autism: A How-To Manual for Parents and Educators (Paperback)
I found the material to be a wealth of knowledge regarding IEP's and schools. The material was easily understandable, practical, and effective in writing an IEP for my son. I would recommened this book to any parent of a child with an IEP, regardless of Autism.

Incredible Resource!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creating a Win-Win IEP for Students with Autism: A How-To Manual for Parents and Educators (Paperback)
Buying this book was one of the best things I have done in a very long time for my son with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dealing with the morons in our county school system is aggrevating under any circumstances. This time, however, I was armed with extremely valuable information. After reading it cover to cover and some sections twice, the "administrators" could not pull any punches or violate any of my son's rights. Thank you Beth Fouse for empowering me to be a better advocate for my little boy!
