The Truth About Learning Disabilities

Plot

Many children are labeled as learning disabled when, in fact, there is nothing wrong with them other than that they learn differently from the way in which their educators are trying to teach them. It's just as likely that the educators are suffering from "teaching disabilities." This book takes you through the history of the learning disabilities field, points out many of the inconsistent and illogical theories which have been advanced, and does it all in an easy-to-read format which is as valuable to the lay reader as it is to the professional. The author doesn't believe there is such a thing as an ineducable child. It makes no difference if you are dealing with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, language problems, traumatic brain injury or other types of learning differences. She includes specific recommendations for treatments and programs which have been demonstrated to provide incredible relief to tens of thousands of learners. -Back cover.
