...an excellent resource for all families who have a member with attention deficit disorder (ADD), for teachers working with ADD children and for those students likely to encounter ADD children in their future teaching careers.
–Jim Miedaner of University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics
Product Description
This book examines the field of learning disabilities and the education of learning disabled (LD) children through the eyes of several experts. Contributors bring to the book such diverse academic backgrounds as education, psychology, special education, and medicine. The chapters, adapted from lectures given at the Landmark West School in California, include pertinent and representative audience questions and responses. Chapters on new medications for the LD child, contemporary research on dyslexia, and educational strategies for improving reading are complemented by chapters on social and emotional issues that affect the families of learning disabled children, adolescents, and young adults.
