This book is written for parents and families of students with autism. It introduces them first to the complex of initials and special language in the educational world so they may initially understand and communicate effectively. Step-by-step, Dr. Fouse details the legal case studies, and state and federal regulations and other laws which support the necessity for an Individual Education Plan (IEP). It provides the form letters to request, confirm, or appeal the IEP; discusses the parents' rights, the teachers' legal responsibilities, and, even, the danger signals for both teachers and parents so they may avoid problems on their way to a successful plan. It's a bible for anyone going through the IEP process.
