Helps you get the most from your child's IEP meetings
Regular IEP meetings can provide reassurance for everyone involved, or they can result in negative feelings and a loss of confidence in the IEP process. For parents of students who have disabilities, IEP meetings are the crux of their children's education. These vital meetings, that will be held on a regular basis throughout their schooling, can make or break a student's school career. Here, Drs. Cynthia Herr and Barbara Bateman carefully consider how you can prepare for your IEP team meetings and be best able to optimize the results.

Teaches on-the-job social skills in an engaging, contemporary format
Connections in the Workplace includes 35 well-written and carefully conceived stories that reflect modern times and attitudes. It's ideal for the teen or young adult reading at a second grade level or below. The stories explore crucial on-the-job social skills in typical work situations. The book was written by June Stride, EdD, a former special education teacher and administrator, and author of numerous books on instructional methodology. The stories are designed so that parents can read them aloud, although some readers will be able to tackle them independently. Each four-page story has a student activity page and vocabulary exercises. Topics include proper cell phone etiquette, being responsible on the job, becoming a trustworthy employee, and appropriate social behavior.
Coauthors Siegfried Engelmann and Douglas Carnine are foundational 20th and 21st century thinkers on the subject of instructional best practices. Engelmann shaped and codified Direct Instruction, the most effective method of teaching reading, math, and other subjects, as validated by more than 100 experimental studies.
The authors' contention is that if the details of instruction are in place — well designed sets of examples and adequate practice — student learning can be accelerated far beyond what is currently being achieved in schools. Their ideas, as presented in this book, are in tune with John Stuart Mill's System of Logic.
