My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Let me say from the beginning that I do not have a child with a disability, special needs, nor autism of any kind. I read this book fully intending to read the story of a family who “came through the fog,” and as an educator, I was very familiar with special needs children. In fact, I often said that I loved my children who had autism and Asperger’s. I was a music teacher, and these students often excelled in my class. I can recall how relieved the paraprofessional were when the students to whom they had been assigned entered my classroom. It was often the only time they could get a break since their students didn’t often act up in my class. I also should tell you that I never had any special training. I just did my best to learn from those who were.
This book was a very quick read, and it told a poignant story. As I read what the mother had to endure at the hands of “professionals” and her daughter’s school district, I was horrified. Having been an educator, I often saw the other side of it. I saw parents who didn’t care for their special education child, and they expected the school district to do it all–which they did. I never witnessed parents having to fight for services. I foolishly believed that the school district was always willing to work with parents who genuinely wanted to help their children. I surmised that due to the stories I heard about parents who refused to have their children tested. This book opened my eyes to a family’s story that should never be. No parent should have to fight as long and as hard as she did for help. I never felt she painted the teachers and professionals in a bad light, but she told the truth. Hopefully, as a result of her story, more parents will become proactive as the need arises.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
