Recent Product Reviews:

"This little flip books are loaded with information. I use them for training, eliciting discussion, guiding practice, and inspiring simplicity in the very complex world of special education. Miriam has a passion for all that is right (and wrong) with the practice of special education as it relates to the law. In these books, her insight, knowledge, and practical information are reflected through fact and explanation. The examples provided are clear and easily relatable. The question/answer format provides a logical roadmap for getting to the why, what, and how of IEPs and 504s."
Anne Delfosse, Executive Director, West Orange County Consortium for Special Education, CA
"End the confusion after you devour this book. Miriam shares her clear understanding in bite-sized nuggets. Once you are familiar with the Goldilocks conundrum you can avoid the pitfalls. Miriam hits all the areas of confusion and misunderstanding and guides us to clarity using invaluable lists, tips, hints and memorable analogies. You’ll be sharing this information with your teams."
Mary Bevernick, Irvine Unified School District, CA
"Miriam Freedman's IEP and Section 504 Team Meetings...and the Law is a valuable resource for school administrators, special education teachers, general education teachers, and parents. She explains laws and regulations in an easy-to-read format with visuals and legal cases to drive home the important issues. Many of the topics covered are ones that IEP Team members debate based on opinions (ie. over-accommodating is not a good thing), not realizing that there is case law to guide their decision-making. "
Jody O'Brien, Director of Student Services, Marlborough Public Schools, MA
