Where do I need to start to learn how to be a productive advocate for my children? What books would you recommend? Websites? Tests? Etc. Thanks for any advice and help you can offer.

IQ testing results were very helpful to my husband and I to find the resolve to take action for our kids. Unfortunately many educators do immediately dismiss IQ test results, especially for a kid who has not yet proven his abilities.
