Summary: This is the first book parents must purchase!
Comment: This is the book that parents of special needs children have been searching for!
When a child does not "fit in the box", parents find that they must search for information on how to care for their child. Just when they have mastered the medical maze, the child begins school and the search for advice and knowledge begins all over again!
Children with disabilities who succeed in school have parents who learn to set aside their feelings and clothe themselves in the armor of advocacy. "From Emotions to Advocacy" assists parents in the journey through the special education labyrinth by giving them a focus. Parents learn accurate documentation and record-keeping, productive communication skills, effective tactics and strategies, and Pete and Pam Wright have put it all together into an easy to read, understandable package.
Parents who use the process and procedures outlined in "From Emotions to Advocacy" will avoid many of the pitfalls that entrap many parents of special needs children. I wish this book had been available in 1986, not only for my own use, but so that the hundreds of parents I have worked with since then could have benefited from it. If you are the parent or if you know of a parent of a special needs child, do yourself or them a favor. Buy yourself or them this book!

Summary: Helped us get residential for our child
Comment: Because of the book, Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy, and the wrightslaw and fetaweb websites, we were able to get our school district to fund a residential special education placement for our daughter.
We took treats to all meetings, took a pic of our child with us, kept our calm, documented everything in letters, worked the files, and learned the wright buzzwords. It worked. We are very very grateful.
We can't thank Pete and Pam enough for the book Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy and their websites. We highly recommend this book.

Summary: Pete Wright's FETA book is excellent!
Comment: I recently attended Pete and Pam Wright's "Boot Camp" advocacy training in which their books, "From Emotions to Advocacy" and "Special Education Law" were used as part of their training. The books, as well as, the training are exceptional.
In order for parents to become effective advocates for their child, these books are essential. I would highly recommend these books (and the training) to any parent of a disabled child. Pete's added comments contained within his "Special Education Law" book helps parents better understand just what the laws are saying without all the "legaleese". And the information contained in the FETA book is outstanding as well! It includes valuable information on how to interpret and understand your child's testing scores and to know what areas your child may be struggling in. I'll be using the information I gained from these books often! In fact, I already have!
