Parenting a Child With a Learning Disability: A Practical, Emphathetic Guide

Describes learning disabilities, including hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, and dyslexia, and explains how parents, teachers, and schools can help

Designed to ease the pain and bewilderment of parents whose children are diagnosed as learning impaired, this concise, suggestion-filled book functions as a practical resource. In clear talk that demystifies various types of learning disabilities, the authors ( Thinking Games to Play With Your Child ) address the situations of children who, though not deficient in intelligence, "have trouble learning to read, write, speak or compute math." Parents, particularly fathers, are urged to cooperate with specialists; together they can provide a source of self-esteem for the child. This guide through the learning disability maze not only is a useful tool but also offers hope to parents fearful of their children's being educationally "labeled."
