A Must Read for Parents of a Child with Learning Disabilitie

Barbara Coyne Cutler is an amazing woman who fought for her son's right to a free, appropriate education for 10 yrs. before being heard. Not only did she fight for her son, she has fought for many other children herself and through her book. I read this book before an IEP meeting and it made all the difference in the world. This is an excellent, easily understood book.

Must read for parents of "special" children

I read this book as my husband and I battled our school district for services for our autistic son. I recommend it to all parents I meet now. It not only tells you what the schools can and can't do, it also tells you how to get and hold their attention and gives samples of letters, etc. For example, any meetings we now hold with school representatives also have a 3rd party witness - a hint gleaned from this book. If you are a parent buying this book to get services for your child, it will help. I wish you luck!!
