The Parent Advocacy Bible

Roosevelt Mitchell III, M.Ed. provides a clear blueprint and resources for parents to effectively advocate for their child in any school setting. You will learn about the FIVE commandments of parent advocacy, know what questions to ask at parent/teacher conferences/surprise visits, effective ways of communicating with school staff to get what you want, how to document properly and much more! The book includes dozens of forms, a parent contract, and letters.

The plea being made in Parental Advocacy is for parents to seek to understand the seriousness of their roles as parents and regardless of their preferences to consider as of first importance the impact of their action on the lives of their children.

As the parent of a child with special needs, does your heart ache with questions, confusion, or discouragement? Do you ever feel that you have no margin in your emotional reserves or sense a gaping need for encouragement, rest, and refreshment? Caring for someone with autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, emotional or behavioral disorders, or physical disabilities can be all-consuming. Bible Promises for Parents of Children with Special Needs can help you claim God’s promises for your everyday life. You’ll become more aware of God’s passion for you and your child through this handy guide that speaks directly to the unique journey of special needs parenting. These promises are for your comfort. Claim them as your own. Pray them over your family and over your children. Let them guide you into the presence of Jesus and the security that only he can provide.

William J. Webb defuses misguided readings of biblical passages that call for the corporal punishment of children, slaves and wrongdoers. Setting these passages in their ancient cultural context, Webb reaffirms the importance of reading Scripture with God?s redemptive movement in mind.
