The Complete IEP Guide
It’s IEP (Individualized Education Program) time of the year again. We’ll be meeting with our daughter’s educators and therapists to develop IEP goals for the next school year. If you have to develop an IEP in the future, I have a book recommendation. The title is “The Complete IEP Guide: How to Advocate for Your Special Ed Child” written by Larence M. Siegel. This is a great book to help you understand the whole process of developing IEP goals for your child. If you don’t read this book and your child will need special educational services, I urge you to inform yourself before you go to that first IEP meeting. I made the mistake of walking into our first meeting without any previous knowledge and felt like I was wasting my time being there. The educators and special ed director already had the plans written and they just had us sign something, pat us on our heads, and sent us home. The day after I must have read every book on the subject at my local library, please do the same.
