After reading this book my hope is that more administrators, teachers, agencies personal, and parents will read this book. The OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE will aid them in successfully communicating to those present at the table to bring about what is the best ossicle plan to aid the student to be successful. A child is at stake and those around the table must do their best to work together as a team for positive results. Mrs Herzing presents positive step by step procedures to address the needs for successful meetings. Mrs Herzing sums up the attentions of those meeting with one word COMPASSION. If this is present and those that have prepared using this format of this book success will take place.

Anne Herzing’s book sets the stage for the effective collaboration between professional and non-professional individuals working towards a singular outcome, by successfully streamlining the team dynamic and highlighting that all members play important roles to a team.

Herzing highlights the importance of attitude, empathy, preparation, and accountability needed to propel goals desired by all.

Herzing bridges the gap between specialists and family members in order to aid in the proper navigation of an effective team in a way that addresses their specific needs.

This is a great guide for anyone in crisis , feeling like their opinions are not being heard or valued, and needing to get effective and quick results from the agencies, professionals, and systems that they work with.

Author Anne Herzing effectively and compassionately captures both the personal and professional challenges within the school and family setting when dealing with the “real world” challenge of doing right by all involved—most importantly the family in need! Her book identifies helpful And on point strategies amid recognizable vignettes that come from her wealth of experiences at both sides of the table. Her post chapter reflections and checklists are especially powerful. This easy to read and apply book is practical, useful, and timely given the current level of need that exists for families and educators.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everyone has a story...as educators, we need to find out what it is.
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019
A very heartfelt and emotionally powerful book! Having had the great pleasure of working with this author, and sitting with her on both sides of the table, the thoughts, suggestions, tips, and reflection points in her book are worthy of strong consideration for any educator or agency provider. I consider myself very lucky to have been able to see first hand Mrs. Herzing's love and support of all who sit at the table with her. When there is an understanding of and connection with struggling families from all members of the team, positive results can emerge. Thank you, Mrs. Herzing, for sharing this with the world! What you have learned through your story needed to be told! ~Chrissy K.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compassion training for the professional!
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019
I think people get caught up in getting things done and this book reminds you that behind those agendas and tasks are people and people need to be treated with empathy, respect, and common decency. I loved simple reminders like have a box of kleenex available. The story about the student who called her a foul name brought tears to my eyes- I needed that kleenex box. The checklists at the end are a must-have for anyone participating in meetings- especially loved the Strategies for Successful Meetings. I would recommend that schools include this author's information in their next PA day training.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for educators and other professions that work with families.
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019
Wow!! This book really hit home for me! As a parent that has been in the state of crisis with my children and as someone who has worked on the other side of the table as a counselor and teacher, this book is so accurate and extremely helpful. The author really spoke to me when she mentioned Reactive Attachment Disorder and how people often blame the families for lack of understanding! We have lived through this. This should be a must read for all educators and Mental Health professionals. We all have a story. Let’s do a better job listening!

Anne has done a very good job reminding administrators, teachers and therapists that many families are facing daily struggles that can be more difficult than anyone can understand. It is their job to meet families where they are. The book is very easy to read and makes good points using common sense.
