Customer Reviews

A parent's lifesaver!

As a mother of two children with ADD and a teacher of LD/ADD students, I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with a child diagnosed with, or undergoing tests for, learning disabilities and/or Attention Deficit Disorder (with or without hyperactivity). Having read many books on the subject, I consider this one to be the best I've read. This book really helped me understand my kids' ADD problems. It addresses many topics in an easy to understand way, that I continue to refer to again and again. I keep a list of highlighted passages that I often bring to the attention of my fellow teachers, my students' parents, and friends struggling with their children's learning issues.

My Favorite on the Subject of LD

Over the last three years I have read through few and skimmed through many on the subject. This book is definitely one to read cover-to-cover, get out your highlighter and keep handy. I checked it out at the Library and now have bought a copy for my library. I am sure I will refer to it often, because it has very practical advice and doesn't over analyze, yet doesn't simplify either. I particularly liked the section dealing with what the schools will, might and probably won't do. The chapter on family life and LD children was a little short, but very informative.
