The first key to success is self-knowledge--especially for children with learning disabilities. In an extremely supportive and practical way, Stern and Ben-Ami explain the many ways that learning disabilities affect children at school, at home, and with friends. Reading this book will help children (and their parents!) feel better about themselves as they learn why some tasks are more difficult for them, and feel even better about themselves when they apply the hundreds of strategies to more successfully master life's challenges. --Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA, author of More Attention, Less Deficit: Success Strategies for Adults with ADHD
The revised edition of Stern and Ben-Ami's book is excellent. It is laid out well with a clear division of subjects, easy-to-read bullet points, and appealing illustrations. A student with a Learning Disability should find it readily accessible as well as relevant and interesting.
