"He can remember the television ads but not his own telephone number. She forgets the multiplication tables she knew only yesterday. He's always losing his homework, misplacing his books, forgetting where he's supposed to be. She wants everything done the same way. While such children may be intelligent, resourceful, and independent, they may suffer from learning disabilities that can hinder - and often hide - their true potential. Fortunately great strides in research and resources have transformed our approach to helping learning disabled children. Drawing on thirty years' experience as both an educator and a mother of a learning disabled child, Sally Smith brings you up-to-date in this completely revised and expanded edition of her classic guide."
