💙5/$36💙 Learning Disabilities 101: A Primer for Parents

This book is a primer -- the first book that parents should read when they learn their child is diagnosed as learning disabled (LD). It helps them understand the basic language and terms, learn how to find and work with experts and professionals, and help parents know their options. Written in easy-to-understand "parent" language, Learning Disabilities 101 will help readers understand three things: how to cope with their child's disability, how to work through the maze of laws and medical terms, and how the family fits into their child's LD world. Chapters include -- Identifying, Diagnosing, and Accepting LD -- Understanding Your Child's Self-Esteem and Social Development -- The Law Is On Your Side -- The Role of the Family -- Testing, Record Keeping, and Parent/Teacher Conferences -- ADD and ADHD Some High lighted areas
