Publisher's Comments (cont.)
Cutler, an independent consultant and advocate who has worked with service and advocacy organizations to obtain services and support for her autistic son and other children, offers a guide for parents dealing with the special education system to understanding and protecting their child's educational rights provided by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA). She outlines the characteristics of an effective advocate, changes and additions to the law, the power structure of school systems and how they use myths to try to control and distance parents, how to apply everyday skills to becoming a confident and competent advocate, how to use these skills in the child's classroom, and the individualized education program process and monitoring, implementing, and rejecting an IEP. Online resources are provided instead of a bibliography. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
