✦ Synopsis

Although learning disabilities are believed to affect a significant number of children, not all of those children receive an actual diagnosis. While school officials, teachers, and parents continue to improve education for these children, the general public still has misconceptions about learning disabilities and how to help those affected by them. This detailed look at learning disabilities aims to educate readers through relatable text and engaging sidebars. Annotated quotes from experts, up-to-date statistics, and new technologies are explored, as well as the causes of and common misconceptions about life with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and more.
