"""""Learning Disabilities: A to Z"" should be the first book you reach for when your child has been diagnosed with any type of learning disability. You would be challenged to raise a question that this book does not address."" --Cheryl Wilbur, parent volunteer, Committee of Special Education, Westhill School District (NY) ""One of the best books on learning disabilities ever to cross my desk...this complete and readable guide arms parents with all the information they need to act effectively on the child's behalf."" --Lynn Altamura, former president, Learning Disabilities Association of New York State ""The most complete, readable and valuable book of its kind. If you are a parent of a struggling child, read this book. If someone you love is such a parent, gift them with this book. It is, quite simply, the best. . . . The new edition of ""A to Z ""is faithful to the mission of the original, but also addresses many of the current issues and concepts that impact education today. . . .
