"Get the educational services and support your child deserves. Federal law guarantees every child a free appropriate education, and the goal of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) is to assure that every child with special needs receives what the law promises. But if you have a special ed. child, you know that your family must make sure the school follows through. This powerful book covers: eligibility rules and assessments; working with outside experts; developing your child's ideal educational program; preparing for and attending IEP meetings; and resolving disputes with school districts. The 9th edition covers two new Supreme Court decisions and developments in special ed. voucher programs. It provides key forms, sample letters, and resources you need at every stage of the IEP process. With it, you can make sure your child gets a good education-- the education he or she deserves."--Amazon.com.
Wynn Johnson
A story about the life and death of an amazing girl with special needs, but also a contemplative history of how every life-- and every death-- adds its own thread to the tapestry of a family and community. Johnson tells the story of how, over nearly seven decades, generations shaped by the unique demands of Appalachia helped one kid to thrive against all odds.

"Alexander Cordell was born into a military family in Ceylon and spent much of his youth in the Far East. He worked his way up through the ranks of the British Army to become a major. To many, he must have seemed the quintessential Englishman, and yet his natural sympathies lay increasingly in Wales, where he came to be adored by the reading public. Indeed, his bestselling novels made Wales known throughout the world. His socialist views were also reflected in the subject matter of the more than twenty books that he wrote." "This is the first biography of Alexander Cordell. It is written with energy and imagination by Mike Buckingham and Richard Frame, both of whom were close friends of Cordell. The book is based on Cordell's personal papers and on records of conversation with him. It offers a unique opportunity to look into the life of the man behind the books."--BOOK JACKET.
