About the Book

If your child has been labeled “learning disabled”, this book is for both of you. It answers many questions in language kids (pre-adolescents) can read and comprehend. With warmth, affirmation, and solid information kids are reassured that they’re smart, can learn, and that they just learn differently.

It answers the many questions they have, like “Why is it hard for kids with LD to learn?” and “What happens when you grow up?” It explains what LD means (and doesn’t mean); defines different kinds of LD; describes what happens in LD programs; helps kids deal with sad, hurt, and angry feelings; suggests ways to get along better in school and at home; and inspires young people to set goals and plan for the future. Includes resources for parents and teachers.

If your child has learning differences, this is a wonderfully empowering book for the family to read.
