I have 3 special needs children and three Complete IEP guides (each one updated as needed per kid). I rely heavily on the information provided and have been able to advocate for my children very effectively.

I L-O-V-E THIS BOOK! Found it (paper back) at my local library, and re-borrowed it until I couldn't (rules), and had to go through a waiting period before I could borrow it again ( a popular books that stayed on hold). So, I decided to purchase. I got the Kindle version for the links/online resources, updates, & built in Templates that you click opening on your computer vs having to retype from scratch. I haven't used the live links/resources or many templates yet. I will come back with an update when I do.Complete IEP Guide, The: How to Advocate for Your Special Ed Child Kindle Edition

I love it. This is a must have for all teachers.
