This is an easy-to-read, informative book....The tone of the book is collaborative....I wish someone had handed me a copy of this book during my first year of teaching....This would be a great resource for any teacher, either to better understand these children or to share knowledge with parents....The book has several user-friendly features, including checklists, sample case studies, clear and simple explanations about working with these kids, and a list of additional resources in the back. Psychologists who evaluate and work with children with learning disabilities might also use the book when interacting with parents. Overall, Braaten and Willoughby take away the scientific, scary-sounding name of this learning disability and replace it with real examples of how these kids experiences the world. They help readers appreciate that these kids are indeed brightand that with some adjustments to their daily routine, they can achieve daily success, too., This is an interesting, focused, and well-written book aimed for parents. It is presented in a style that is easily understood, makes its point well, and provides a good deal of helpful and time-proven suggestions. It can be recommended to any parent who has a child with slowed processing speed and, if the information is assimilated and the suggestions followed, there is little doubt that emotional and behavioral improvements will ensue., "This is an easy-to-read, informative book....The tone of the book is collaborative....I wish someone had handed me a copy of this book during my first year of teaching....This would be a great resource for any teacher, either to better understand these children or to share knowledge with parents....The book has several user-friendly features, including checklists, sample case studies, clear and simple explanations about working with these kids, and a list of additional resources in the back.

Just like my son, the children described in this book all want to work hard and do well, but something is blocking them from thriving.

An encouraging look at a problem to which many parents will relate....The authors do an excellent job of bringing the psychological research into the home.
