Resource Type

Book

Description

"This essential guide for parents of children with learning disabilities includes special techniques for detecting disabilities at an early stage, finding causes of learning disabilities, and developing effective educational programs for children with special needs. Smith, director of Syracuse University's Psychoeducational Teaching Laboratory, and Strick, a freelance writer, focus on honing the child's strength rather than dwelling on weaknesses. They offer useful strategies for working with children and provide resources to meet teachers' and parents' needs. Perhaps most important, they present several actual case studies and share valuable insights regarding these children and their parents. Recommended for parents, educators, special education teachers, and clinicians."--Library Journal
