Diamonds in the Rough,
By C Smith (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diamonds in the Rough : An Infancy to College Reference - Rehabilitation Guide for the ADD / Learning Disabled (Spiral-bound)
Diamond in the Rough is a must have book for any parent who wants to help their child succeed with a learning disability. This book helped me understand the nature of my child's learning disability. It gave information I needed to make sure my daughter's school provided the support she needed. It gave excellent resources such as support groups, and other valuable information. More important, Diamonds in the Rough gave information about what my child could do for herself. These suggestions helped improve my daughter's self esteem, and she learned to enjoy school. My daughter is now in college and a lot of the credit goes to this book. There are a lot of books on the market about learning disabilities, but Diamonds in the Rough is second to none. It is a must have ! ! 5+ stars
