"Dr. Rouse has written a simplistic guide for students, empowering them to become an active part in the IEP process. This short thorough guide will assist students in self-advocacy. The dialogue is written and shared through the eyes of a student. This is a powerful message to other student-peers." Tamera Foley, Ph.D. "Especially 4 Me: A Student's Guide to Understanding the IEP, is a welcome resource for students and parents navigating through Special Education. This engaging resource told by a student and his peers, empowers and motivates students to seriously think about their future after high school." Dr. Natasha Veale Associate Professor of Special Education, Greensboro College "There is no time like the present! Dr. Rouse has written a student-narrated guide to the IEP process that explains the necessary steps in entering a Special Education Program through high school, with a focus on student transition and self-advocacy for their future. Especially 4 Me is a much needed resource for students, parents, and school districts." Dr. Edris Ryan Educational Expert, College Professor and Special Education Consultant CEC Member
