On our blog tour stop today, Christine posts her review of Frankie's book on her Day Sixy Seven blog Christine writes about parenting and raising a child on the autism spectrum.  This review was as if Christine was sitting right inside my heart as she wrote the review.  I was blown away by her insight after reading Frankie's book.

This had to be one of the best interviews that Yael Cohen did with us… Frankie herself answered the questions… and yes, you guessed it, I translated since most people don't understand "dog talk."  Ha!  It is a short, fun, interview and have your kids listen in, as I think they will enjoy it!!

A note from Yael Cohen, Special Ed Advocate:

When you have a kid with special needs or learning challenges, there is a steep learning curve.  Once your child gets into the education system, it's often even harder, because the school district seems to play games for which you can't find the rules.  And if you don't know the rules to this most important of "games," your child may not get the help and services that he or she needs to shine in school.

That's where Yael Cohen (author of Ask The Special Education Advocates) at www.GetIEPHelp.comcomes in – with resources (including free parent online seminars) that you can tap into for your child.  Here's what one of Yael's clients wrote about her:  "Yael, the advocate we found between the meetings, explained everything to us in language we could understand, analyzed the actual testing and the IEP (Individual Education Plan) document, asked questions, and offered solutions. She gave us a plan to follow, got us accountability from the school, and got our son the instruction he needed. She also encouraged us to find a specialist to help him outside of school. She is a walking encyclopedia and has given us so many resources!"  If your child is struggling in school, go now to explore this website and at a minimum, sign up on www.GetIEPHelp.comfor the free parent online seminars. 

Stephaine Ward is a homeschooler, bibliophile, and mom of kids with "special needs."  She reviews Frankie's book on her awesome Laughing Stars blog today.  Stay tuned to her interview with Frankie and me this Friday!  Her kids submitted the questions!
