Lauer, PhD, Advice and Book On Securing Special Education Services for Your Child When speaking with parents and teachers of children with special needs, one hears how both groups find IEP Team meetings challenging and time consuming. Even though these meetings are necessary, folks sitting around an IEP team table would want the whole process to be more efficient and productive. When The School says No!…How to Get the Yes! Securing Special Education Services for Your Child by Vaughn K. Lauer, Ph.D., is the guide book to read. The term “IEP” refers to Individualized Education Program and is most often used in conjunction with special services or for providing instructional services for a child with special needs. The IEP identifies learning expectations that are modified and/or any accommodations and special education services needed to assist the student in achieving his or her learning expectations. It is an ongoing planning-tool that must be reviewed and revised on a regular basis. The idea behind When The School says No!…How to Get the Yes! Securing Special Education Services for Your Child is to show the reader how to lead a collaborative IEP meeting using 6 key questions in a structured, or orderly way, that can be easily implemented by the reader. Folks at Special Needs Book Review thank Dr. Lauer for his detailed guest post introducing his book and for agreeing to take part in our Author Interview Series.
