Recent Product Reviews:

As an undergrad student first learning how to lead meetings, this would have been a valuable resource. It is also valuable for seasoned leaders to strengthen and become more cohesive with their teams."
Erin Schons, Children’s Home Society
"Teaming is essential to many aspects of special education, and when teams are not successful, it is the child who suffers. There is a great need for this book, which provides practical, down-to-earth ways of thinking about the IEP/504 process and making it work FOR kids."
Annika Barton, Douglas County School District, CO
