Getting Started
“A good education is the next best thing to a pushy mother.” – Charles Schulz, cartoonist
Good special education services are intensive and expensive. Resources are limited. If you have a child with special needs, you may wind up battling the school district for the services your child needs. To prevail, you need information, skills, and tools.
“On your journey from emotions to advocacy, you will learn about your child’s disability, educational and remedial techniques, educational progress, Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs), and how to artfully advocate.”
“You will learn how to present your concerns and problems in writing, prepare for meetings, and search for win-win solutions. You will learn how to use your emotions as a source of energy and power, and how to focus on getting an appropriate education for your child.” (From Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy – The Special Education Survival Guide by Pam and Pete Wright).
