I’ve been writing my son’s IEP ever since he was dx at 3rd grade. He’s now a senior and has been on the honor roll since 6th grade.
I used to teach the blind and multihandicapped and I never knew that my educational background would be used for my own son.

Here are a couple of books that I couldn’t have lived without:
From Emotions to Advocacy: The Special Education Guide by Pam and Pete Wright
Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence: Practical Solutions for School Success by Brenda Smith Myles and Diane Adreon. Chock full of info. There is a fantastic Transition Checklist on page 128 & 129. Also a great Academic Modifications list on page 129 – 134. Both lists you can use for ANY dx!!!!!

I think it must take a lot of time and education for parents. I admire those of you who do prepare and know what is going on. I participate in over 70 IEPs per year, but even then the legal jumbalese is so hard to understand!
