Thoroughly enjoyed this book - the easy part was reading it, hardest part was putting it down! Some excellent ideas, some of which I will try, not only with the child I work with but also my own!

A very easy to read book. Great to hear the insights from two academic parents as they themselves negotiated with the academics!

As a student teacher, I found this book helpful in showing me the importance of collaborations between teacher and parents. Parents have so much knowledge to offer their childs teacher for their education and inclusion within mainstream classes.
