Review
I really had no clue what rights my twin autistic boys really had, what questions to ask and so on and so on. Now the school gave them a good program and my boys are doing great. --Danielle from Jacksonville Beach, Florida

When the school told me they did not think they could completely work something out for my son, I replied with, "According to the law . . . " It appears that they do not want to mess with someone who knows the law- thanks to your book. Now the school has gone out of its way to satisfy my son's needs." --Susan from Seattle Washington

Your book is a Godsend to parents who don't have time to research everything and don't know what to do. --Connie from Pittsburgh, Pa
