Advocacy:
Parent advocacy is essential to the well being of a child with autism. The National Center on Secondary Education and Transition reports that special education students are twice as likely to drop out as regular education students. While these books give an overview of the legal regulations from the IDEA, they are intended for use by parents in an easy to read format. They focus on strategies of what to expect for a parent new to the IEP process all the way through to ongoing maintenance of an IEP.

Inclusion:
This model allows students with disabilities to be educated in the classroom with non-disabled students. From full inclusion to partial mainstreaming, these book selections are recommended because they illustrate the best practices for teachers to utilize to educate children in their classrooms. It is important for parents to understand the types of teaching methods that are available so they can have meaningful parent participation at informal and IEP team meetings.
