She articulates everything a family must expect, but makes clear why they should never lose hope. I admire her courage and urge all parents to read this important book. As the parent of a special needs student, Mary Cathryn Haller brings a unique sensitivity to this book. This book is a must read for all parents of children with learning disabilities. Mary Cathryn Haller has, in very simple terms, outlined everything parents need to know to become effective advocates for their children.
Every child has the potential to succeed.
As parents, we must do everything we can to foster that success. The book shows us how. I was wrong. It takes a subject that is all too often obscured with professional jargon and offers clear, concise, and wise advise for both parents and professionals. It is written in layman's terms and easy for a non-educator to understand.
