This review is from: Strategies for Struggling Learners: A Guide for the Teaching Parent (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book for anyone with a special needs child in their life, but especially for a homeschool family. It clearly outlines many of the struggles and the ways educators/parents can help their student! I highly recommend this book!
