Polar I am thrilled to post something helpful for you. You are such a resource here for all of us following behind.
I finally got to sit down and read through this and it seems like an amazing resource to help a child process his or her differences and see them in a healthy way.
I really like how it empowers children to take ownership in evaluating themselves in both strengths and weaknesses as well as how it emphasizes the importance of working as a team with your teacher. It seems helpful to me how it goes in to detail about what is happening in the brain and what kinds of effects this has on specific types of functions/activities.
It seems a bit old for my child but I think I might read a few chunks with him. I think it's a good inoculation against some of the negative thoughts about themselves that LD kids think and/or hear about how they perform at school.
