Your Child's Special Needs: A Survival Handbook for Parents and Teachers

A learning disability can be at the root of your child's resistance, failure, and low self-esteem. Lawrence J. Greene, a pioneer in the field of learning disabilities, has seen first-hand, dramatic, positive results of early diagnosis in thousands of children - most of whom now perform better at home and in school. In Your Child's Special Need, Dr. Greene explains how to diagnose learning disabilities ranging from dyslexia and hyperactivity to autism, language disorders and tuning out, and how they might affect your child. He offers helpful advice on how to choose the right school program and get the support that you need. Anecdotes, where parents and children speak out, as well as step-by-step programs that you can begin immediately, make this unique book a vital guide for parents and teachers of special needs children.
