A MUST read on children's Mental health

[kewpie]

This book is a MUST read for all parents of a child with an IEP or LD and or suffering from any sort of mental disorder such as anxiety, depression or worse. Mental health issues affect on 1 in 5 children. The research in this book is staggering and confirmed what many parents fear for their child not getting an adequate education. It shows the true facts that support the Pipeline to prison theory that gets bantered about.

The Price of Silence by Liza Long (who rose to infamy with her essay called I am Adam Lanza’s Mother) Excellent book on Mental health care (of lack there of)in the US.

Every parent who has had struggled with getting services for child on an IEP should be able to relate to this book.
