A MUST read! Wrightslaw gives the family the tools to attend any IEP meeting and come out a winner! Step by step, the Wrights offer professional advice in and out of the school setting. They teach parents how to be one step ahead of the District, what to ask for on the IEP, (and why), how to document, and why documentation is so important. As I went through Special Education for my child, I considered this book my “Bible.” There is so much to learn as a parent of a child with special needs, and the Wrights break it down to areas

which can be used to the childs best advantage. A must have!

This book is a basic overview of the laws governing special education. The included summaries and footnotes are helpful to those without a basic understanding of education law and current regulations. This book would have been more helpful to school personnel and informed parents if it had included additional footnotes that clarified the statutes regarding eligibility.

This is a must have in conjunction with the Wrightslaw Emotions to Advocacy book. Having these two and listening to their Webex training was just like being in one of their actual workshops. I learned so much and was then able to start helping other families in my area. Worth every penny!

Thank you to the Wrights for this book- it breaks down legalize into simple concepts. I am amazed at how little administrators and sped teachers know about the law- every teacher college training should have this as required reading. If you are involved with kids with special needs- you need this book.
