Turnabout Children: Overcoming Dyslexia and Other Learning Disabilities

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"... The boys and girls who come to MacCracken for evaluation and tutoring are physically indistinguishable from their peers; many are intellectually superior yet unable to meet school and social norms in skills of reading, writing and calculating. Through the portraits of children she has treated, MacCracken shows what makes them bloom; in one case, even a dyslexic parent is helped. Explaining her profession in lay terms, the author indicates that her mission is not only remediation but guiding children to "become successful in their place of workschooland to improve the quality of their lives. ..." -Publishers Weekly
