If it were possible to rate this book with less than one star I would have done so. I purchased and read this book hoping for some insight which would help me prepare for my daughter's IEP. I wish I had spent the time reading this book organizing my closets or on some worthy endeavor as I feel that the time I spent reading was wasted. I found this book to oversimplify the necessary elements of an IEP and of the IDEA. For parents who have never been through an IEP, this will not give them much assistance. I much prefer the Wrightslaw publications, as they are much more thorough and better outline the children's rights.

I found this book was overrated and lumpy. I found more concise and useful information in WrightsLaw. This book talks about a non-existent world of school administrators, and impractical and misleading sunny little paragraphs about what to do, like they will actually work. The brief sojourn into methodology is glaringly misinformed, ignoring 40 years of Applied Behavioral Analysis, OT, Speech and other therapies with a dismissive paragraph about Lovaas Method vs. TEACCH. This book is long-winded other places where a tactful editor could have made it a lot easier to read and understand. The best part was the index of common phrases, the cute case examples about kids and the list of other books to read. Some of the copy came off as insulting too, like parents are slow-witted and need help in understanding everything, so speak slowly. Wished I'd spent the money on something else.

Buying this book was one of the best things I have done in a very long time for my son with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dealing with the morons in our county school system is aggrevating under any circumstances. This time, however, I was armed with extremely valuable information. After reading it cover to cover and some sections twice, the "administrators" could not pull any punches or violate any of my son's rights. Thank you Beth Fouse for empowering me to be a better advocate for my little boy!

This is the most informative book that I have ever read regarding IEP's for children on the Autistic Spectrum. I am buying two copies for my School District, so that they can be on the same page as parents, regarding up to date information. The book touches on State by State laws too. This book helped me to clarify exactly what is needed in the IEP, and supplied information on cases where provisions have been made for special computer programs, after school programs etc. I highly recommend devouring this book and becomming the leader at the IEP meeting.
