John Burnett, superintendent, Onalaska Public Schools, Onalaska, WI "Dr. Lentz integrates his research on leadership with his extensive experiences as an educator, administrator and parent of a child with a disability in this important book on how to make the IEP process more meaningful to all stakeholders. Dr. Lentz provides specific suggestions on how to move a school's current approach to IEPs towards one that is more child centered and in line with the spirit of the law. Regardless of years of experience, most school psychologists and other leaders in the IEP process will find this book helpful in honestly evaluating and reinventing their own approaches."
