Learning Disabilities - Understanding the Problem and Managing the Challenges - 6931

The diagnosis of learning disabilities in the U.S. is growing at the alarming rate of 10 to 20 percent every ten years. Veteran school psychologist Etta Brown responds to this trend by defining the term ''learning disabilities'' from an educational standpoint, and offers suggestions to prevent your child's diagnosis from hampering his/ her growth. She identifies barriers to learning that may be present in your child's environment, and indicates how to remove them to provide your child with an atmosphere in which he/she will thrive. This helpful reference book identifies problem behaviors exhibited by the child; how to accommodate them in the classroom; and what can be done at home to help. Included are summaries of special education laws; the power granted to parents by those laws; how to use them to ensure that your child receives an appropriate education; and much more. Learning Disabilities: Understanding the Problem and Managing the Challenges offers strategies and solutions that will make an immediate difference in the lives of children.
