Editorial Reviews

Review

I really had no clue what rights my twin autistic boys really had, what questions to ask and so on and so on. Now the school gave them a good program and my boys are doing great. --Danielle from Jacksonville Beach, Florida

When the school told me they did not think they could completely work something out for my son, I replied with, "According to the law . . . " It appears that they do not want to mess with someone who knows the law- thanks to your book. Now the school has gone out of its way to satisfy my son's needs." --Susan from Seattle Washington

Your book is a Godsend to parents who don't have time to research everything and don't know what to do. --Connie from Pittsburgh, Pa

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Your Standard IEP Book!, August 3, 2007
A thoughtful and comprehensive guide to the legal aspects of special education including IEP meetings, extended school year, least restrictive environment, section 504, and obtaining outside services. This is one of the top rated books for special education on our Children's Disabilities Information site because the discussions of the various special education aspects of autism are based on practical experience.

It is not a recap of the typical education system response! For example, topics include obtaining extended school year support, the importance of professional evaluations, and the problem of schools mislabeling children with autism as having mental retardation. Along with detailed guidance on special education, approximately 1/3 of this large format book consists of 60 example forms for most any contingency you might run into, such as requesting records, requesting test results and test protocols, complaints, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most comprehensive book available, June 29, 2007
As a parent mentor I am often searching for books that assist parents in the special education process. This book is the best book that I have come across in a long time. The book is formatted and written so that parents who are new to the special education process are given a "step by step" directions and guidance to ensure that their children will receive an appropriate education as mandated by IDEA. In addition for those of us who are more advanced it includes case law and statutes to support the author's opinions.

I highly recommend this book and will utilize and recommend this book when assisting any new parent.

GREAT JOB Mr. Sherman!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERY PARENT OF A CHILD WITH AUTISM SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK, April 19, 2008
By Katy in San Francisco (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Be sure to definitely read this before your child's next IEP.

I've been dealing with IEPS and special education programs for my son for several years and this book still taught me a lot! It is well written, very easy to read, and covers almost everything you have to contend with.

Sadly, the quality of a child's special education program relies mostly on the parent's ability to advocate. This book will empower you to be a much better advocate for your child.

This book is a valuable tool for navigating the complex world of special education law and programs.

I'd also like to thank the author and editor for all their work putting this book together -- it is going to help so many parents and children!
