"To A Different Drummer provides parents and teachers with practical ways to help children with learning problems. It is designed to bring understanding to those who seek information and to provide suggestions to those who seek help. This book is for all parents of children with learning problems who have ever wondered, "What can I do to help?" The content is neither academic nor clinical. Rather, it is an overview of information about learning disabilities and includes many suggestions about resources and activities that can be extremely helpful to parents."

A practical resource for helping the LD child succeed.,
By A Customer
This review is from: To A Different Drummer; Helping Children With Learning Disabilities (Paperback)
To A Different Drummer is a very readable and practical resource for parents to help them to understand what Learning Disablilities are, and how they can effectively work with their child and his/her teacher to break or prevent a pattern of academic failure. The format of the book is wonderful. The "bullet" style information bits are easy to read and refer to. The graphics are very welcoming and friendly to the reader. Often parents are traumatized when they realize that their child has a learning problem. These authors have done parents a great service to help them understand what they are dealing with and how to go about it.
