Dr. Sarah Taylor Vanover uses real stories from families and professionals to share the journey of parents who realize their child has a developmental delay. In her step-by-step guide, she helps parents; identify and cope with their feelings, prepare for assessments and conferences, understand terminology and early intervention, be introduced to special education, and foster hope as they learn to become their child's best advocate. -- Ann Story Hughes, Director of Visually Impaired Preschool Services in Indiana, Special Educator, and Teacher of Children Who are Blind or Have Low Vision Families are faced with two challenges when they learn that their child requires special education early intervention services. In addition to supporting the developmental needs of their child, they must also acknowledge and manage their own emotions. The latter can be a struggle for families; they must cope with their own sense of grief while also serving as advocates. Dr. Vanover's work gives families the tools required to be champions for their children. -- Erin K. Stauder, M.S. CCC/SLP, Executive Director, The Hearing and Speech Agency/Gateway School, Baltimore, MD This book is an important tool...Sarah Taylor Vanover provides a much needed guide to help parents navigate the highly complex, confusing and often inadequate process for the evaluation and acquisition of supports and interventions for a child with developmental delays. Of added importance, this book provides counsel for the rarely addressed chronic grief and sorrow that parents carry through possibly a life long journey. -- Daniel Larrow, MD, Assistant Professor, Division Chief of Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics, University of Kentucky
