A Parent's Guide to Developmental Delays by Laurie Fivozinsky Lecomer

Essential information for any parent with a child who might have cognitive, physical, or emotional delays

Developmental delays affect millions of children each year, and often go undetected until an alert and caring parent recognizes there's a problem. In A Parent's Guide to Developmental Delays, special education expert and consultant Laurie LeComer, M.Ed., provides parents with accessible and up-to-date guidance.

Using real-life examples and case studies along with checklists, exercises, and other hands-on advice, the book covers a range of delays and disorders that include autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, Sensory Processing Disorder, aggressive behavior, and motor-control problems.

Topics include:
* Spotting the "red flags" of delayed development, for every age group
* Identifying your child's specific challenges
* Acting swiftly in order to gain the advantages of early intervention
* Getting a diagnosis and treatment plan that fits your child's needs
* Working with teachers, health professionals, and specialists for maximum results
* Tracking your child's progress
* Understanding your rights and making the most of every available resource
* Trusting your instincts in order to help your child learn, develop, and thrive
