Book Description

August 12, 1987 Formerly Titled Kids Who Hate School
Learning disabilities don't have to stand in the way of your child's success.
A learning disability can be at the root of your child's resistance, failure, and low self-esteem. It's no wonder that children with learning disabilities have difficulties both at home and at school, difficulties that are reflected in poor performance records.
Lawrence J. Greene, a pioneer in the field of learning disabilities and the Executive Director of the Developmental Learning Center in San Jose, California, for seventeen years, shares his knowledge and experience in compassionate and understanding terms. He explains how to diagnose learning disabilities ranging from dyslexia and hyperactivity to language disorders and tuning out -- and how they might affect your child. He offers helpful advice on choosing the right school or program for your child and on getting the support you need. Anecdotes, where parents and children speak out, as well as step-by-step programs that you can begin right now, make this unique book a vital guide for parents and teachers of learning disabled children.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Not only does Greene explain every possible issue related to learning disorders . . . he also presents a beautifully written and extremely moving series of case studies that will break your heart at the same time they fill you with relief." -- San Francisco Chronicle
