The
Survival Guide for Kids with LD (Learning Differences)
(Revised and Updated Edition)
by Rhoda Cummings, Ed.D., and Gary Fisher, Ph.D.
First published in 1990, this survival guide has helped
countless young people labeled “learning disabled”—and the
adults who care about them. Meanwhile, laws have changed and
technology has advanced. This revised and updated edition
retains the best of the original edition: the warmth,
affirmation, and solid information kids need to know they’re
smart and can learn, they just learn differently. It answers
the many questions they have, like “Why is it hard for kids
with LD to learn?” and “What happens when you grow up?” It
explains what LD means (and doesn’t mean); defines different
kinds of LD; describes what happens in LD programs; helps
kids deal with sad, hurt, and angry feelings; suggests ways
to get along better in school and at home; and inspires
young people to set goals and plan for the future.
