First off, this book is waayyyy overpriced. There are other good books on the market at half the cost. And there are other books that are better written, too. I was surprised at the sloppy writing of this new edition. If you are intent on buying this book, find a used copy of the last edition, which is better, or choose one of the better books out there. Don’t go by ratings alone. Check out the book in your local bookstore first, just to be sure you find one that meets your needs. The information is this book can be found on the Internet on different sites, so there is no needed to shell out hard-earned dollars for this one. Find something else and you won’t be sorry.

Being new to the IEP process, I wanted to know a little more about it. I only realized the week before we were scheduled how big a deal it was. We had previously had a 504 plan which was just us meeting with the teacher and teacher consultant. This book is full of information. Sometimes too much information. But it helped me understand what the process was and how to navigate the meeting. I highly recommend this book to someone new to the IEP process.

This book was extremely helpful and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for help with the processes of the IEP. I only had a week to read this and get prepared, and it did a much better job than I thought it would.

I just had my son’s IEP meeting and the meeting went very smooth and I got everything I requested. This book will explain the process and also provides forms to keep you organized. Typically our meetings ran 3-4 hours, this time 2.5. The class visitation form & IEP blueprint are easy to read and easy to create your own based on examples in the book. If you are just starting out with IEPs, this book is will prepare you well. Always come prepared, the staff and teachers will know you are serious. Great advise in this book.
