Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"The challenges faced by individuals with learning disabilities (LD) are not confined to an academic environment and are not "outgrown" in adulthood. So how do adults face the hurdles of LD in their professional and personal lives? In this book, you'll hear from a diverse group of adults with LD, many of whom also have attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as they describe how they've met disability-related challenges at work and at home. Ten in-depth chapters discuss the challenges and benefits that learning disabilities can present in a wide range of areas, including overall mental health, day-to-day life, dating, long-term relationships, parenthood, higher education, and employment. Practical suggestions and proven strategies are offered to help adults identify and capitalize on their strengths and to promote a satisfying quality of life." -Book Description
