I stumbled across this book accidentally whilst looking for another title. What a find! This is the best text I have read all year. An honest and sensitive book, it had 'takeaways' I can use as both a parent and an educator.

Incredible book! Exactly what I need as a textbook for a course I am preparing. This book is different than any other I have seen on the topic as it presents both sides, looking sensitively and with empathy at the roles, responsibilities and feelings associated with professional-parent interactions needed to support children with disabilities. Highly recommended.
