Annotation: He can remember the television ads but not his own telephone number. She forgets the multiplication tables she knew only yesterday. He's always losing his homework, misplacing his books, forgetting where he's supposed to be. She wants everything done the same way. While such children may be intelligent, resourceful, and independent, they may suffer from learning disabilities that can hinder - and often hide - their true potential. Fortunately great strides in research and resources have transformed our approach to helping learning disabled children. Drawing on thirty years' experience as both an educator and a mother of a learning disabled child, Sally Smith brings you up-to-date in this completely revised and expanded edition of her classic guide.

Publisher Description:
Parents and teachers of learning disabled children have tumed to Sally Smith's No Easy Answers for information, advice, and comfort for more than fifteen years. In this revised, trade paperback edition of the latest information on learning disabilities in a clear, honest, and accessible way. This completely updated edition contains new chapters on Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and on the public laws that guarantee an equal education for learning disabled children. There is also an entirely new section on learning disabled adults and the laws that protect them. Sally Smith, the parent of a learning disabled child herself, guides parents along every step of the way, from determining if their child is learning disabled to challenging the school system to provide special services. Drawing on more than twenty-five years of experience at her own nationally acclaimed school, she also offers valuable strategies to teachers who are anxious or discouraged as they struggle with learning disabled students. Although there are no easy answers, Sally Smith's experience, wealth of information, and sense of humor provide essential support.
