Excellent Book!

A very easy and short book that is packed with tons of information on nonverbal learning disorders. If you have a child with this disability, you will know that not much information is known about this in the educational setting. I highly recommend this book to parents whose children have been recently diagnosed with this disorder. It's very frustrating when the people that can help your child most don't have a clue how to. It's a great book to give to educators in your school. I thank the author one hundred times over. This book was a lifesaver.
