As a homeschooler with an ADHD/LD son, I picked up this book at the library hoping for some advice on making lessons more do-able for my son. I feel like I hit the jackpot! Although directed to classroom teachers, this book contains info that is useful for both parents and teachers. It gives examples of how various types of lesson plans can be adapted to varying abilities without sacrificing content. It provides "ammo" for parents who (unfortunately) must fight with schools to accomodate their child's needs. It gives a picture of what kind of classroom can meet the needs of ALL students. this book should be read by ANYONE who works with ADD/LD children.
Clear and concise guide to understanding the special child.
