Help and hope for special needs kids, their parents, and teachers!

In From Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones, Shari so poignantly describes the suffering she experienced as a learning-disabled child, yet her sense of humor and determination shine through. It jars the imagination to realize that a child deemed uneducable--even recommended for institutionalization--became a poised and gifted national lecturer with her master's degree in education! Shari is one of those rare people whose speaking and writing incites a lump in the throat one moment, then bursts of laughter and cheers the next, all for a child who beat incredible odds. Her insights about educational methods that helped and hindered her will impact teachers and offer great hope to struggling students and the parents who love and guide them.

From Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones

This book is excellent for revealing what is going on in the mind of a child who has learning issues. It's not just behavior (although it is always present, but never an excuse to associate as the cause for learning problems),there are valid medical tests that prove such. We are seeing more and more of these children with learning difficulities and we best be prepared with resource materials and an instructor who knows how to work with these children. Thanks Shari for sharing your life with us.

From Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones-Shari R.Furhnstal

FROM STUMBLING BLOCKS TO STEPPING STONES by Shari Rusch Furnstahl was an excellent well written book to give hope to young people and their parents who might be suffering from dyslexia, etc....and know that you do not need to be discouraged...With determination you can succeed and do well in life....This is a true story (and I personally know the author)...

True life changing story!

This author is authentic and the REAL DEAL, I was there. But what she did not know was that I was also ,and still am a medically 'special needs' individual whose life was made more brave by being a part of hers. This is a MUST READ handbook for any family with a child with 'less visible' or learning disabilities.
