My child has a problem in school.  What should I do?

From bestselling author and veteran educator, Jane M. Healy, Ph.D.
Different Learners:  Identifying, Preventing, and Treating Your Child's Learning Problems

For any parent or teacher concerned about a child's learning 

"...A very hands-on guide with anecdotal case studies, the latest brain science...made comprehensible, and plenty of bulleted checklists covering symptions, action steps, and advice... a ready reference parents will welcome." — Publishers Weekly

Today's parents are intensely concerned with their children's progress in school and anxious about the possibility of a learning problem.

 In Different Learners, Dr. Healy answers their questions and explains:

  • What to know and what to do if your child/student shows signs of a problem
  • The genetic and environmental basis of different categories of learning problems such as dyslexia, ADHD, NVLD, sensory processing and autistic spectrum disorders
  • How different types of experience influence brain development for better or worse
  • How to prevent learning problems — even genetic ones — from developing
  • Why learning difficulties sometimes mask significant talents for the 21st century
  • How to create a successful home environment for successful students
