Public schools offer a wide range of supports for disabled children--but navigating the system can feel like getting trapped in a complex maze. Special education parent and veteran educator Stacey Shubitz provides a vital map for the journey in this practical, optimistic, empowering guide. Stories of kids with a variety of challenges give you a solid understanding of special versus general education, expert evaluations, disability designations, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 Plans, and more. The book describes clear steps to improve communication with teachers and school staff, get the most out of meetings, and ensure plans are correctly implemented, so your child can thrive. You get downloadable practical tools, self-care strategies, tips for cultivating joy, and an inclusive children's book list to make reading together a habit. Channel your love and hope into success and self-determination for your child at school--this book shows how.
Industry Reviews
"This book is a trail guide for parents navigating unfamiliar and daunting terrain. Stacey Shubitz speaks 'parent to parent' with the insights of a well-informed traveler. She guides you to become an advocate for your child, offering sage advice and extensive resources. If I could recommend only one book to help parents understand and navigate how to get support for a child with a disability, it would be this one."--Lester L. Laminack, PhD, author, consultant, and Professor Emeritus, Western Carolina University-
