Navigating Special Education . 2023 EPUB and converted pdf

This forward-thinking and useful guide for parents, teachers, and administrators emphasizes the significance of appropriate letters, good communication techniques, and suggestions for data collection. The IEP team’s discussions frequently lack effective communication. Building proactive, constructive collaborations that will result in children’s best practices for the twenty-first century can be facilitated by navigating special education.

Building trustworthy partnerships between school districts and families is facilitated by the 5-C Model of Communication—Conversation, Collaboration, Cooperation, Compromise, and Consensus—which is described in Navigating Special Education.

Using their combined 60+ years of experience, the writers of Navigating Special Education use:
Anecdotal, fact-based, and real-world examples
templates for drafting letters and gathering a lot of information
An easily navigable glossary and appendix

Wouldn’t it be ideal for meetings to be successful if all participants felt valued, heard, and understood? Families, educators, college students, and special education organizations will be able to put into practice efficient communication strategies and create fruitful collaborations after reading Navigating Special Education.
