More Praise for The IEP From A to Z

“This is a must-own manual for anyone involved in IEP development and special education instruction. It goes far beyond the standard academic goals to address all the ‘knottiest’ skill deficits that make learning so challenging for students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, language disabilities and nonverbal learning disorder. I get asked all the time about how to write IEP goals for this population. I finally have the resource I need. This book not only provides a clear-eyed understanding of the IEP process; it also provides a multitude of concrete examples of IEP goals and objectives as well as nuggets of wisdom regarding teaching strategies. No special education team should be without this book.”

—Peg Dawson, Ed.D., author, Smart But Scattered: The Revolutionary “Executive Skills” Approach to Helping Kids Reach Their Potential

“Finally, a much-needed book to guide parents and teachers through the rigors of creating IEPs. This book offers a blueprint for constructing IEPs that will be useful and not just another exercise. The authors provide us with templates and examples that work in the real world of the classroom. Anyone involved in this process—parents, students, teachers, and other professionals—should have this book on their shelves.”

—John J. Ratey, M.D., clinical associate professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

“This book will be a practical and invaluable resource for professionals and parents challenged with writing meaningful and functional IEPs for a range of students with developmental challenges.”
