Finally, an IEP for Me!

A Love Letter to Every Mother Who Is Tired, Brave, and Refusing to Give Up

By Doreen G. Fulton

This book began on a hot August morning in 2011, when I read a newspaper article about a mother named Margaret who had taken her own life and the life of her teenage son, because she had reached the end of her rope without ever finding the support she needed.

I heard God's voice clearly that morning: Doreen, you must help those Moms to survive.

Finally, an IEP for Me! is my answer to that calling.

Part memoir, part practical guide, part love letter — it is written for every mother of a young adult with special needs who has attended IEP meetings for years and wonders what comes next.

Margaret deserved this book. Every mother on this road deserves it.
