Are your opinions being disregarded by the professionals on your child's team? Maybe the reason is your child doesn't demonstrate everything to them that he does with his family. When I took the very first "Billy Ray's Story" that I did to an I.E.P meeting the jaws literally dropped. The story was about feeding his horses. Comments were that he seemed to do it so independently. It was a turning point.
My friend, Heidi Schack, Director of Special Services for Silver Falls School District, says it is hard for professionals to accept a parent's claim that her child can swim when everytime they try he starts to drown. The child you see and the child they see may be two different people in one child.
In my book I show you how to demonstrate your child's strengths and get others listening to your opinion.
