This review is from: The Learning Differences Sourcebook (Paperback)
The Learning Differences Sourcebook, has been one of the most user friendly references that I have used. This book answered all of my questions for different components that make up childrens learning differences. The discriptions of the differences were easy to understand, useful, and applicable to the job I do. I highly recommend.

This review is from: The Learning Differences Sourcebook (Paperback)
I'm really pleased with this book. I especially like that the term "Learning Differences" is used. The first few chapters are for people using professionals in the community. I did not find them helpful in my case. I did find the "non- professional" terminology helpful. The guide has specific ideas that can be implimented in a non-school, non-professional, parent controlled enviornment. Very parent friendly book. Also supportive of the alternative of homeschooling for children with these differences.
