By A Customer
This review is from: Finding Help When Your Child Is Struggling in School (Paperback)
Finding Help When Your Child Is Struggling In School is a valuable reference book for making sense of the many procedures and services parents come across when trying to help their child at school. Technical jargon and procedure can be daunting and options are sometimes many. Lawrence Greene encourages parents to stick at it. He offers strategies to use when dealing with teachers and many kinds of checklist for monitoring your own progress and your child's. He addresses the IEP(Individual Education Plan) with authority and provides a normal-language account of how the law provides for children with disabilities. He gives good contacts for learning more along legal lines. Lawrence Greene goes into some depth about private service providers and seems to have left no stone unturned on this issue. Finding Help When Your Child Is Struggling In School is a useful first reference book for parents and others with an interest in children who have learning difficulties.
