"A Spellbinding and Powerful Expose
"A Matter of Panache" is a spellbinding and powerful story of the extraordinary deeds of a dedicated educational psychologist.
Debra Sanders leads us on amazing odyssey from the Alaskan Yukon, to the canyon lands of Utah, through the delirium of a brain injury, and the exasperating back-channels of unethical bureaucracy within our public schools system.
Debra battles irrepressibly against unacceptable mediocrity, for the rights of children. She pulls back the curtain for us to witness heartrending cases of abuse, families struggling with Asperger�s syndrome, attention deficits, behavioral challenges, learning disabilities, brain injuries, and other physical, cognitive and/or emotional problems.
This is a rare and courageous expose about the limitations of special education today, plus is a window into the disturbing experience of traumatic brain injury.
Yet in the end Panache is an uplifting tale of hope for our civilization.
A lifetime of unique adventure and generosity,
now shared for the benefit of all of us,
and it's a terrific read!
Austin, Texas
