This review is from: IEP and Inclusion Tips for Parents and Teachers Handout Version (Paperback)

Very informative. Gives a practical scenario on parents and teachers handling children with special needs. I have learned that the IEP is not a permanent document. It can be changed even if the school year is not yet through if the student does not comply or is having difficulties with the requirements. Here are the helpful links:

This book is an easy read and contains lots of practical suggestions. I particularly like the way it is organized, making it easy to refer back to important points when you need them. Prior to a meeting, parents can use the checklists provided to make sure they have all the information they need to be fully prepared. It's an ideal resource for parents whose children are just beginning public school as well as for more experienced parents who are looking for new ideas. As a preschool teacher, I have already added it to my school library.
