Product Description
This book explains why a dyslexic person often underachieves and shows that if the underlying problems are identified, adjustments in teaching and learning methods can make all the difference. Specialist teachers and parents, who often feel frustrated in their attempts to translate educational psychologists' suggestions into action, will discover practical ways to help with schoolwork. Examples are taken from the current curriculum and used to show how to plan an essay, learn vocabulary and read to remember so that the student can use the method to succeed in the short term through good marks and in the long term by generalizing from their own success. Focusing as it does on the way we learn, Dyslexia in Secondary School will interest teachers and all students, not just those with specific learning difficulties. ... Read more

Product Description
Substantially revised in response to research and consumer feedback, the second edition of this flexible planning tool is more user-friendly, family oriented, and focused on life outcomes such as social relationships and participation in typical home, school, and community activities.

Using the established and field-tested methods of COACH, special and general educators, related services providers, and school administrators can collaborate with families and work toward developing a meaningful IEP for each student. ...

COACH
This book is helpful if you are working with special education students.It is a book that will help you (and other team members) decide what is most important for a student who is transitioning into adulthood.It will help show/guide you to to areas of concern.It is an assessment, not standardized testing.It is open to interputation.

As a special education advocate, it was helpful in determining what areas of need had to be addressed within transition.

It is not standardized testing that will hold up to a special education hearing as it is subjective.

It did provide good insight into what the student wanted and needed.

I will use this tool again for other students who are transitioning from school to adulthood.

Great Help for IEP
The COACH was a great help in putting together my daughter's IEP.By following the quidelines you are able to organize and decide what is most important to your child and you when planning the IEP.COACH. also, is a big proponent of inclusion which is what parents of special needs children are wanting.Using its format you can plan a very workable education plan and the child can be educated in a regular classroom the majority of the time. We have been doing IEP's for years but using COACH made this years IEP much easier.

Helpful for educators AND parents
As a parent of a 3 year old with Down syndrome, I found this book extremely helpful as Andrew moves toward inclusion in a private school.It is helpful for parents to become aware of inclusion issues and processesfor their children's sake. This book provides a helpful understanding ofinclusion and is readable for non-educators as well as professionalteaching staff.COACH encourages teamwork of family and educators to bestcreate appropriate, meaningful and beneficial IEP plans.I gave my copy tothe principal of my son's school and she immediately asked me for thepublisher's catalog so she could order a copy and implement COACH processeswith other families affected by disabilities as well. ...

Helping Children Learn Review
I was seeking a resource that could support my work in guiding teachers to work with children with cognitive processing difficulties.This book has practical handouts which are useful, easy to read, and can be adapted for specific children.I particularly like the Index of handouts which allows me to target the area of difficulty.
