"They're coming out of
the woodwork!" experts remark on the skyrocketing number of
students identified as having an attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder or learning disability.
For years, the assumption has
been that it is mainly parents who need to be shown how to help their
LD/ADHD children. This book is unique in its emphasis on educating
teachers and other professionals as well as mothers and fathers--all
those who must join efforts to lead LD/ADHD children to academic
success.
Author Suzanne H. Stevens
also knows the importance of recognizing the unusual creativity and
other abilities found among LD/ADHD children, abilities long neglected
by a system bent on forcing them into a mold they do not fit.
Stevens offers practical
suggestions on
- recognizing the LD/ADHD child
- adjusting teaching techniques
- using specialists effectively
- adjusting classroom management procedures
- testing and grading fairly
The result is a balanced,
optimistic look at ways of helping an increasing number of children
reach their full potential in class.
