 Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy March 11, 2008
As a parent and instructor of special ed kids, I wish I could give a copy of this book to every parent new to the special education system (or still struggling with it). The information contained within is clearly written, and invaluable in advocating for any type of special needs child/teenager in today's public school system. I wish I had found it sooner!

This is fantastic book. It empowers parents to take control of negociating their child's education needs so that we no longer feel like we are twisitng in the wind.
I do not recall any information regarding emails. Many teachers and school officials use emails as a primary method of communication. I wish this book spent some time talking about to email or not to email, how to email....

I am a special education attorney and the mother of two children with disabilities. This book is the best I have ever come across to inform parents of best advocacy strategies. I recommend it to ALL my clients and friends. It covers everything from applicable law, interpreting complicated standardized testing scores, effective advocacy with different personality types, and MOST IMPORTANTLY how to remain collaborative and cooperative with the School District.
