Is your child in a Learning Support Classroom?,
By Cynthia Beers (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Misunderstood Child: A Guide for Parents of Children With Learning Disabilities (Paperback)
If you have a child with any range of learning disabilities this book is a must. We were at a frustration level with our child at home and at school, until we read this book that explained our child completely. It has taught us how to deal with the LS and how to help our child achieve now and in the future. If you have a child in Learning Support please do yourself a favour early and read this book. I only wish we would have read this book 4 years ago when our child was placed in a Learning Support classroom.

The One Book Every Parent Should Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Misunderstood Child: A Guide for Parents of Children With Learning Disabilities (Paperback)
As the parent of two bright children, who could never quite pass in school, I found this book to be enlightening and have given many copies to other parents and school teachers. It is full of useful information on various forms of verbal and non-verbal disabilities, as well as testing, school procedures, legalities and useful tips!
