Book Description
Substantially revised in response to research and consumer feedback, the second edition of this flexible planning tool is more user-friendly, family oriented, and focused on life outcomes such as social relationships and participation in typical home, school, and community activities. This updated format makes COACH easier to use; it features redesigned forms; more detailed explanations; explicit instructions on "purpose," "directions," "materials needed," and "helpful hints" for each step; and tabs and icons that make information easy to find. Using the established and field-tested methods of COACH, special and general educators, related services providers, and school administrators can collaborate with families and work toward developing a meaningful IEP for each student.

 COACH May 12, 2007
This book is helpful if you are working with special education students. It is a book that will help you (and other team members) decide what is most important for a student who is transitioning into adulthood. It will help show/guide you to to areas of concern. It is an assessment, not standardized testing. It is open to interputation.
As a special education advocate, it was helpful in determining what areas of need had to be addressed within transition.
It is not standardized testing that will hold up to a special education hearing as it is subjective.
It did provide good insight into what the student wanted and needed.
I will use this tool again for other students who are transitioning from school to adulthood.
 Great Help for IEP March 19, 2007
The COACH was a great help in putting together my daughter's IEP. By following the quidelines you are able to organize and decide what is most important to your child and you when planning the IEP. COACH. also, is a big proponent of inclusion which is what parents of special needs children are wanting. Using its format you can plan a very workable education plan and the child can be educated in a regular classroom the majority of the time. We have been doing IEP's for years but using COACH made this years IEP much easier.
Helpful for educators AND parents April 6, 2000
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
As a parent of a 3 year old with Down syndrome, I found this book extremely helpful as Andrew moves toward inclusion in a private school. It is helpful for parents to become aware of inclusion issues and processes for their children's sake. This book provides a helpful understanding of inclusion and is readable for non-educators as well as professional teaching staff. COACH encourages teamwork of family and educators to best create appropriate, meaningful and beneficial IEP plans. I gave my copy to the principal of my son's school and she immediately asked me for the publisher's catalog so she could order a copy and implement COACH processes with other families affected by disabilities as well.
