The ADHD Book
Many experts say that, conservatively, well over six million children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. With the mounting pressure placed on parents to pursue a diagnosis and medicate hyperactive children, the urgency of life-changing decisions can weigh heavily on the whole family. Conflicting advice bombards parents from all sides-often leaving families more confused and anxious than before. The AD/HD Book seeks to quell fears and rationally addresses nearly one hundred common questions and concerns to help parents make sense of the information chaos. Beth Ann Hill, herself a mother and educator of AD/HD children, clearly explains the basics of AD/HD and lays out its complexit...
Living with Dyslexia
Explains dyslexia, describes the signs and symptoms of it, and discusses ways to manage the difficulties of it.
Dyslexia
Researchers have devoted considerable attention to how people learn to read, specifically how they recognise, pronounce, and understand printed words. These studies are helping to illuminate not only the normal process of learning to read but also the problems that may underlie dyslexia, a condition in which people are unable to acquire a high degree of reading skill despite adequate intelligence and training. When reading instruction begins, children (as well as adult learners) already possess large spoken-word vocabularies. Their initial task is to learn how these spoken words correspond to written alphabetic symbols. Impairments in this reading skill are often seen among children who have problems learning in school. Dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a person's ability to read. These individuals typically read at levels significantly lower than expected despite having normal intelligence. Although the disorder varies from person to person, common characteristics among people with dyslexia are difficulty with phonological processing (the manipulation of sounds) and/or rapid visual-verbal responding.
Inclusion Strategies That Work!
Toby Karten guides readers as learners into the topic of disabilities and inclusion, presenting strategies and helpful tools. He seeks to demystify the field of special education for general education teachers by employing clear explanations, statistics, tips for working with parents, and much more.
Something's Not Right
"Had I known what was ahead of me, I might have despaired. But fortune was kind enough to enlighten me only by degrees." Nancy Lelewer tells about raising four children, three of whom were finally diagnosed with learning disabilities. Lelewer, a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, knew the pain of not learning to read "on schedule" because she herself is dyslexic. She figured out the instruction that would give her children an appropriate education when the schools could not. A Resources section guides anyone who recognizes parallels in this story, written to help educate the lay public about learning disabilities. Professionals in many fields related to LD studies have praised this book, wh...
