101 Answers: How to Get Help at School for Your Child with a Disability

Does your child have problems in school? This book can help.

It was written by Student Advocacy, a nonprofit organization that has helps children who have problems at school. We’ve been advocating for students’ education rights since 1982, and we wrote this guide to explain how you can get help for your child. This book explains how to:

• Identify your child’s specific learning problems.
• Better understand your child’s needs and educational rights.
• Negotiate for the help your child needs from their school.

The advice in this book is based on our long-standing and successful representation of students with disabilities. Our goal is to get children on track to school success. We hope that this book will help you to advocate successfully for your child.
