Beyond the Label: A Guide to Unlocking a Child's Educational Potential

"Overall, the message of the book is important, and it is written in a way that is very accessible, encouraging, and validating for parents who are coming to realize that their children require additional support in their educational environment. Because of the breath of chapters on specific functional deficits, this book would be a great resource for teachers as well. Parents are most likely to find only one or two of the chapters to be relevant to their child, but teachers may use the full breath of the book over the course of their careers to find guidance for whether a referral for assessment is appropriate." -- Jodene Goldenring Fine, Michigan state University.

"I found Beyond the Label to be a very practical, informative, and thorough guide. The information it contained is applicable to teachers, school administrators, parents, therapists, and anyone who is involved with helping a child with special accommodations be successful in school... this book is going on my bookshelf. It is already ear-marked, highlighted and annotated. As I read through it, I thought of several of my past and present students and their families. This book is a fabulous resource for many students, parents, therapists and teachers as it provides everything from basic information to specific treatment techniques. I am pleased to have it as a part of my personal library." -- Aimee E. Ketchum, OTR/L CNMI, Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Aimee's Babies: Aimiee's Blog
