The WH Questions Answered

"What you really want to know when your child is referred to special education" Answers to all the questions that parents wonder about -- not just what will happen, but when, and why, and by whom, and then what? A frank-speaking guide by L.G. Knouse, 30-year veteran of the educational system, the book is designed to ease parents' fears and to help special education case managers, teachers, administrators and parents collaborate effectively in the best interests of students. It provides jargon-free information about the steps of the special education process from referral through assessment, identification and development of an individual education program. The chapters begin with basic information and end with anecdotal stories illustrating the topic just presented and include chapters about working with the school in a child's best interests, the pros and cons of hiring an advocate, and the benefits of inclusive education for all children.
