Learning Disabilities or Active Start for Healthy Kids

Learning Disabilities: A To Z: A Parent's Complete Guide To Learning Disabilities From Preschool To Adulthood

Author: Lisa Strick

Not an alphabetical list, but an all encompassing guide, this book offers answers for parents of children who harbor neurological impairments affecting visual preception, language processing, fine motor skills, and the ability to focus attention. Such conditions are estimated to affect 5 percent of the U.S. population. In addition to surveying types and causes of disabilities, readers can learn how to identify these problems and specifically address them in and out of the classroom. The last section is devoted to social and emotional growth and success.
