Description

"Had I known what was ahead of me, I might have despaired. But fortune was kind enough to enlighten me only by degrees." Nancy Lelewer tells about raising four children, three of whom were finally diagnosed with learning disabilities. Lelewer, a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, knew the pain of not learning to read "on schedule" because she herself is dyslexic. She figured out the instruction that would give her children an appropriate education when the schools could not. A Resources section guides anyone who recognizes parallels in this story, written to help educate the lay public about learning disabilities. Professionals in many fields related to LD studies have praised this book, which "speaks to parents & teachers clearly, realistically, & nonjudgmentally about the plight & the potential of bright children who march to different drummers." (Rosemary Bowler, Ph.D., The Learning Disabilities Network); "is the best account of the affects of dyslexia of anything I have ever read" (Charles Drake, Ph.D., The Landmark Schools); "goes a long way to help reduce the needless, corrosive guilt that is often born by parents when their children fail to develop normally" (Howard Hermann, M.D., Boston University School of Medicine).
