Synopsis

This self-help workbook intended for Wounded Warriors and students with disabilities allows students to assemble their own individualized study plan from a set of custom-built study strategies. The book breaks down exactly how and when a student s disability affects his or her ability to learn and process new information. This allows students with disabilities to better understand their learning problems and thereby teach themselves various math study skills, which directly address their unique challenges. Because the book does not involve calculations, students do not need to be good in math to understand the material. Offices of Students with Disabilities or Veteran Centers can use this workbook to improve student success in math.
