good clear resource guide to share with school My son is 11 with NLD and this book will clearly help me in explaining to the middle school guidance department what exactly he needs to receive in order to succeed. Well-written and concise. | ||
Helpful for Parents This book is so helpful! I can't believe how much this book described our son. We were able to help ourselves become better, more understanding parents - and we helped the school with ideas to help him there as well. | ||
Excellent resource for parent's with an NLD child. If you are struggling with how to help your NLD child, then this book will be an excellent resource. The author uses clear, concise illustrations to help the reader understand the disorder and more importantly, what it's like to be a kid with NLD. Included are some very practical and easy to implement suggestions to help the NLD child with math and writing. We've used a couple of the suggestions and had incredible results. Not only did our son complete the work correctly, but his success with these tools made him realize that he can do the work; he just needs the material presented to him in a way that he can understand. The cost of the book < $30...having your child realize they are capable...PRICELESS! | ||
A wonderful place to start As a school psychologist sometimes I need to have something from what to draw information - I have so much data and need words to define what I see. This book does a wonderful job of summarizing the types of behaviors and concerns that teachers bring to me. Being able to share this resource with them and draw from it as I attempt to assist parents and teachers with a student's learning profile is a joy. Thanks for all of the tremendous effort! | ||
The light bulb goes on! I am so happy with this book. It totally describes my daughter to a "T" and has been so helpful to me and all of her educators. I always have it close at hand to refer to when we are struggling with homework or learning something new in school. I have taken all of the ideas on how to teach certain subjects, photocopied them and made a handy desk refrence for all of her teachers. I also bought one for her school to have. I wish though, that it had more insight on how to teach multiplication to these kids. This is one area that my 7th grader just can not get a handle on! This book is great, it is easy to read, and it clearly tells the world that your child or student with NVld can learn everything if it is just taught the best way for them and the disability is all encompassing in their lives not just academically. The social issues are a huge part of it all! Thank you so much for such a great refrence through every step of our lives! | ||
