Make the School System Work for Your Child with Disabilities

Empowering Kids for the Future

About this book

Public schools offer a wide range of supports for disabled children--but navigating the system can feel like getting trapped in a complex maze. Special education parent and veteran educator Stacey Shubitz provides a vital map for the journey in this practical, optimistic, empowering guide. Stories of kids with a variety of challenges give you a solid understanding of special versus general education, expert evaluations, disability designations, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 Plans, and more. The book describes clear steps to improve communication with teachers and school staff, get the most out of meetings, and ensure plans are correctly implemented, so your child can thrive. You get downloadable practical tools, self-care strategies, tips for cultivating joy, and an inclusive children’s book list to make reading together a habit. Channel your love and hope into success and self-determination for your child at school--this book shows how.
