This book explores the special education process-from testing and diagnosis to IEP meetings and advocating for special needs children. Step by step the authors reveal the stages of identification, assessment, and intervention, and help readers to better understand special needs children's legal rights and how to become an active, effective member of a child's educational team. Grounded in more than twenty-five years of working with students, parents, and educators, the authors provide significant insight into what they have learned about the special education. This book fills the gap in the literature for the millions of children receiving special education services and the parents who are clamoring for information on this topic.

- Demystifies the special education process, from testing and diagnosis to IEP meetings and advocating for children
The second edition covers Response-to-Intervention (RTI), a new approach to identifying students with a learning disability; expanded coverage of autism spectrum disorders and bipolar disorder; the addition of new chapters; and a revamped Resources section. | | | |

I recommend it Jul 04, 2005
By Mary Anne Bowden
I certainly recommend this book. I have learned a lot in the first half of the book alone and look forward to reading the rest of it. Now that my son receives special education services, I think this book will help me to prepare for the next school year. I agree with the other reviewer -- if Amazon included the Table of Contents on this page, they'd probably sell a lot more books. I will include it here and I hope you find it helpful.

This parent advocate likes it Jun 24, 2005
By Julie Thomas
I saw this book in my local B&N and thought it was very comprehensive. I found the updated information on IDEA 2004 to be of most help and in no other book since the law doesn't go into effect until next month. Since the federal law is updated only every 5 or 10 years, it's important for me, a special education parent advocate, to keep up with everything that affects my clients. This book will definitely help me to do that. I really like the variety of chapters. I just wish Amazon would post the sample table of contents since I will definitely recommend this book to parents and often refer them to Amazon's site when I think a book will help them. I'm hoping Amazon will consider doing this in the near future.

I also liked this book Jul 30, 2005
By Barbara Calucci
Like the other reviewers, I found this book quite helpful. My grandson was diagnosed as having a learning disability and I bought this book for my daughter. I read it first because sometimes I go to meetings for her if she cannot get off from work. The book has some very helpful information. I told my daughter to bring this book to the first meeting she has this next school year so that the school staff knows that she has read up on the topic. We'll have to see if it makes a difference since she sometimes gets the run-around. Anyway, I would recommend this book to parents (and grandparents!) of a child who is in special education.

A great help! Jun 23, 2005
By Jeffrey Phillips
"Jeff"
I'm glad this book just came out. My daughter began receiving special education services just after Spring Break and my wife and I were a bit scared about the whole process. I ordered this book recently and it's already come in handy. The acronyms section was helpful since Lauren's teachers often throw them around, forgetting that we are brand new to special education. IMHO, it's definitely a book worth buying.

A Parent's Guide To Special Education - A Parent's Silent Advocate Sep 25, 2005
By Lynn M. Jaroszgoode
Excellent support book that is well organized, detailed and cataloged. In preparation for meetings with schools, this book is a must! This book provides a parent's 'silent advocate' packed full of knowledge often hard to find. A parent can maximize his/hers ability to fully represent his/her child and ultimately better provide for their son/daughter's educational future.
