You don't want to know. [large print] by Jackson, Lisa.(CARDINAL)341054;

Two years ago, Ava's two year old son Noah went missing, and his body has never been found. Ava has spent most of the past two years in and out of Seattle mental institutions, shattered by grief and unable to recall the details of Noah's disappearance. Now she's back at the family estate she once intended to restore to its former grandeur. But as Ava's mind comes back into focus, her suspicions grow. Ava can't shake the feeling that her family and her psychologist know more than they're saying. Unwilling to trust those around her, Ava secretly visits a hypnotist to try and restore her memories. But the strange visions and night terrors keep getting worse. Ava is sure she's heard Noah crying in the nursery and glimpsed him walking near the dock. Is she losing her mind, or is Noah still alive? Ava won't stop until she gets answers, but the price may be more than she ever thought she'd have to pay.

The intentional IEP : a team approach to better outcomes for students and their families / by DeLussey, Stephanie,author.(CARDINAL)884044;

IEP Rundown -- Data Collection -- Writing the IEP -- Increasing Team Participation at the IEP Meeting -- Increasing Parent Participation in the IEP Process."In 2020--21, the number of students ages 3--21 who received special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was 7.2 million, or 15 percent of all public school students. Among students receiving special education services, the most common category of disability was specific learning disabilities (33 percent). The DoE reports that a student may be a candidate for an Individualized Education Plan if diagnosed with ADHD, their position on the autism spectrum, or any number of cognitive challenges, developmental delays, emotional disorders, hearing problems, physical disabilities, speech or language impairment, and vision problems. Federal funding of special education has fallen short. EdWeek reports that it's lagged below 15percent of the average per-pupil expenditure, less than half of what lawmakers orginally envisioned, in 2021"--

Be it chicken nuggets, pizza, pancakes, or French fries-if your child is only eating a few foods regularly, their diet may be seriously lacking in the nutrition and vitamins they need to grow and be healthy.

My autistic awakening : unlocking the potential for a life well lived / by Harris, Rachael Lee,1969-author.(CARDINAL)409339;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-211) and index.Rachael Lee Harris spent her early childhood locked in an autistic fog until beginning her journey from a fragmented world to one in which things began to make sense. Rachael's determination to take her place in society led her down many paths, from beauty therapist to Catholic nun, from mother and wife to divorcee and working mom. Today, she is a psychotherapist specializing in helping others on the Autism Spectrum. Rachael's story explores areas such as schooling, family relationships, employment, travel, and faith culminating in monastic life, motherhood, dating, and marriage. Through her story, we get a more "rounded" positive vision of how an autistic life can develop and insight into the benefits of being "on the spectrum" alongside the very real picture of its challenges. Addressing the culture of disability and negativity that surrounds so much of the public perception of the Autism Spectrum, Rachael presents a more moderate and perhaps more objective assessment of her own life experiences, as well as the potential for others on the Spectrum.--Publisher description.

Rethinking school : how to take charge of your child's education / by Bauer, Susan Wise,author.(CARDINAL)347134;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-251) and index.The way we do school -- The three biggest myths about school -- You can't make the Earth go around the sun faster -- Differences, disabilities, and disorders -- The perils of the gifted and the good -- The toxic classroom -- Basic principles (or, how not to be "that" parent) -- Challenge the homework monster -- Accelerate (but don't necessarily skip) -- Shift the method -- Teach, yourself -- The end result -- The child's vision -- All the other things school does -- Solving for x -- Deciding to homeschool -- Getting started in five steps -- Developing independence -- Out- of- the- box teaching strategies -- Radical alternatives.Our K-12 school system is an artificial product of market forces. It isn't a good fit for all--or even most--students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps "disability" labels over differences in learning style. Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged, disconnected, and unhappy. And when they struggle, school pressures parents, with overwhelming force, into "fixing" their children rather than questioning the system. With boldness, experience, and humor, Susan Wise Bauer turns conventional wisdom on its head: When a serious problem arises at school, the fault is more likely to lie with the school, or the educational system itself, than with the child. In five illuminating sections, Bauer teaches parents how to flex the K-12 system, rather than the child. She closely analyzes the traditional school structure, gives trenchant criticisms of its weaknesses, and offers a wealth of advice for parents of children whose difficulties may stem from struggling with learning differences, maturity differences, toxic classroom environments, and even from giftedness (not as much of a "gift" as you might think!). As the author of the classic book on home-schooling, The Well-Trained Mind, Bauer knows how children learn and how schools work. Her advice here is comprehensive and anecdotal, including material drawn from experience with her own four children and more than twenty years of educational consulting and university teaching. Rethinking School is a guide to one aspect of sane, humane parenting: negotiating the twelve-grade school system in a way that nurtures and protects your child's mind, emotions, and spirit.
