"Jennifer Krumins has written an outstanding book that every parent and teacher of children with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities should read. As a special education teacher and mother, of a son with autism, she brings that unique perspective of professional and parental insight that benefits everyone supporting a child with disabilities. She offers practical, compassionate strategies and accommodations (and extensive checklists) to enhance learning, communication, socializiation, and self-esteem -- both in the classroom and at home. And each of those strategies is aimed at helping our kids reach the most important goal: the greatest independence possible as they enter adulthood."

"I just spent the weekend working on my IEP's and after 6 years of doing so I cannot tell you how helpful your book was. I really think Been There Done That should be part of the A.Q. Special Education Courses. It really helped make sense of a rather complicated and confusing process."
