In this reassuring, matter-of-fact guide, parents of children with learning differences (LD) will find answers to their questions, encouragement for their efforts, and sound advice for seeing their child through the years ahead. In clear, understandable language, the book explains the five types of LD, some possible causes and early signs, ways a child's LD can affect social and emotional well-being, how to work with a school, and how to get help outside of school.
