Parenting Children with Learning Disabilities by Jane Utley Adelizzi

Parenting Children with Learning Disabilities by Jane Utley Adelizzi

In a straightforward and empathetic tone, Adelizzi and Goss sensitively offer support to parents of children with learning disabilities who wish to see their children grow to their full potential. While juggling the complex expectations imposed upon them, parents often combat confusion, anger, fear, sadness, and frustration. This book will help diffuse these overwhelming feelings, empowering parents with the ability to provide the academic and personal support their children need to thrive. Adelizzi and Goss, who contribute to a unique and highly successful collegiate program for adults with LD/ADD, demystify the very fuzzy world of LD terminology and theory and clarify the complicated process of diagnosis and treatment. They shed light on the way children and adolescents with learning disabilities function in the home environment, in social relationships, and at school. Parents will find new understanding and hope as the authors--with the collective voice of parents and children who deal with LD every day--lead them through the maze of issues they must confront.
