From emotions to advocacy book - can anyone tell me if this is written for US audiences, ie: contains info on navigating the us school system rather than advocating techniques? I can't get a copy here to flick through and our school system is entirely different.
You can flick through the book online, at Amazon, using the "look inside" feature,
here. The book consists of 5 sections; Section 4 is exclusively dedicated to special education law in the USA. Material in other sections guides parents through understanding test results, understanding the child's disability, organizing and documenting, preparing for meetings, maintaining control, tactics and strategies, rules for successful problem solving, pitfalls of letter writing, and understanding the negative impact of an emotional approach.
While the specific laws may differ considerably in different countries, some may find the book well worth the price for the overall encouragement to maintain a positive, factual tone despite inevitable difficulties.
