1: Wonderful book
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.

2: IEP
Good technical book to help you write your first or Fifth Iep. My son's Iep has been very sucessful.

3: A must have!!
This book is slow reading and quite boring, honestly....BUT, the information is worth its weight in gold. I've been thru 3 preschool IEP meetings and pretty much rolled over and played dead. Not anymore. We are in the middle of "big school" (leaving preschool) IEP now and I feel so much more knowledgable and incredibly prepared this time around, thanks to this book. Knowledge IS power and this book can make you a superhero for your child!

4: So-So...lacks goal examples
This book is a great resource for people new to the IEP world, especially before the first IEP meeting. This manual will give a great introduction into what to expect in the meeting, the jargon, the paperwork, and the placement. This book would also be a good first step if the process gets litigious. It gives the basics on how to file complaints and go through due process.
However, the book is a basic overview of the whole process. I gave it only 3 stars because it is far to general in dealing with formulating goals. Even though there are vastly different goals necessary in every individual's IEP, everyone might benefit by reviewing a wide variety of examples. I would like to see many examples of real life goals for various disabilities using the actual wording, style, jargon, and technique used to indicate the goal and its measurability.

5: Boot-camp for Parents New to The System
I bought this to prep for my first IEP Meeting and found it to be very helpful. It's an easy read, well organized and has tons of sample tear-outs in the back for you to reproduce and use in your dealings with the school district. A great introduction to the wild world of IEPs.
