Writing with warmth and compassion Corinne Smith and Lisa Strick explain the causes, identification, and treatment of learning disabilities and present a wealth of practical strategies for helping youngsters become successful both in and out of the classroom:
* Recognizing a learning problem that won't be "outgrown"
* Designing an effective educational program that targets a student's strengths (not one that focuses only on weaknesses)
* Negotiating effectively for what your child needs at school
* Avoiding dead-end practices that rob students of motivation and self-esteem
* Managing problem behaviors at home
* Planning ahead for college and career
Enriched throughout with personal stories, case histories, and tips from parents who have "been there," Learning Disabilities: A to Z is an easy-to-use, up-to-the-minute resource for parents and professionals who work with children and adolescents.
