IEP Tips
I liked the IEP Tips for Parents and Teachers because it was easy to use and wasn't too wordy. The book addressed topics and issues that were relevant and gave good ways of handling specific scenarios.

IEP
Very informative. Gives a practical scenario on parents and teachers handling children with special needs. I have learned that the IEP is not a permanent document. It can be changed even if the school year is not yet through if the student does not comply or is having difficulties with the requirements. Here are the helpful links:

Help for parents in need
I just wanted to say this is a very concise book full of great tips for parents.The format also makes it an easy read.The author went to great lengths to boil things down to get to the important information we need to know.Thanks.Nancy

An Excellent Resource!
This book is an easy read and contains lots of practical suggestions. I particularly like the way it is organized, making it easy to refer back to important points when you need them. Prior to a meeting, parents can use the checklists provided to make sure they have all the information they need to be fully prepared. It's an ideal resource for parents whose children are just beginning public school as well as for more experienced parents who are looking for new ideas. As a preschool teacher, I have already added it to my school library.
