Quote by Annika Barton, Douglas County School District, CO: "Teaming is essential to many aspects of special education, and when teams are not successful, it is the child who suffers. There is a great need for this book, which provides practical, down-to-earth ways of thinking about the IEP/504 process and making it work FOR kids."
