From the publisher

Why The Parent Edge exists

The meeting is Thursday. A draft Individualized Education Program (IEP) landed in your inbox at 9pm, and across the table will be six school staff who do this every week, and you.

The realistic alternative is an educational advocate at $100 to $300 an hour. Most families need something in between, so that is what I make: playbooks, fill-in letters, checklists, and worksheets for the IEP process, 504 plans, evaluations, school records, and what to do when you disagree, all researched from the primary sources and typeset with real care.

Three things I do not bend on. Accuracy first, so every timeline, right, and deadline carries its citation in the sentence where you read it. Preparation, never fear: the school is not the enemy and you are not a victim, you are a member of the team. Education, not advice, because I explain how the process works and never what to do about your particular child.

Every guide also names your state’s free Parent Training and Information Center, because I would rather you knew all your options.

Inside the guides

Typeset to be worked from, not skimmed

Real pages from the catalog: chapter openers, fill-in letters, worksheets, checklists, and figures drawn for the guide rather than pulled from a stock library. The citations you can see in the body copy are part of the point.

Bundles

Sets that carry one stretch of the process

Each bundle is assembled so one guide picks up where the last one stops, and every set is priced below its parts.

Articles

Free writing from the same research

Every guide starts as a stack of statutes, federal regulations, and agency guidance. These are the parts worth reading on their own.
