Helping Children with Learning Disorders

I really enjoyed reading this book. As a therapist, I noticed that parents of children with LD want some practical help in a language that they can understand. This book is easy to read and because it gives many examples of children with LD parents can find what they are looking for. As an author of a self-help book for children with learning disorders - BEING IN CONTROL- I can really recommend this book.

Creative and practical solutions to learning problems

Gifford shares methods gleaned from the masters of imagery and adapted for her own purposes. She shares her unique experiences from teaching students from an inner-city school in just about the most adverse conditions imaginable. If these techniques can be effective in this kind of environment, then they must be good. I have tried some of these strategies in my own teaching of high school mathematics, and they really are effective. I have successfully used imagery to help students overcome "Math Anxiety" and "Test Taking Anxiety" with sometimes amazing results.

An excellent resource for both teachers and parents.

Gifford provides lots of specific methods of overcoming the obstacles faced by kids labelled as "learning disabled." A very practical book that can be put to good use by both teachers and parents of "LD" children.
